What could have caused the Irish Potato famine? Fungus?
why could it be that fungus is a danger to potato growers?
Hypothesis:
1) The year before the Irish Potato Famine was an GOOD year
2) What happened to extra food in the late 1800's
3) the leaves and stems of potatoes are poisonous
4) they could kill the natural bacteria of the soil and
I have no idea of what decomposing potatoes would
do to earthworms, ect.
5) soil has bacteria, fungus, ect. when you take one out what
do you leave?
6) when you use many chemicals are you setting yourself up for
the same thing?
7) GM plants that produces natural insect killing capabilities
8) plowing the leftover part of the crop back into the ground
9) have you just killed your soil?
10) It takes three years to certify as Organic and it seems as if
most of the rest of the world is leaving the US in the dust
in that respect.
11) England had such a large orchard crop that a major amount was
left in the fields for want of people to harvest it.
12) Many tree crops have natural Salicylates that protect the fruit.
13) Grapes, wheat, and many other plants can be supseptable to fungus.
14) Salicylates in Wine and many other things.
these are just thoughts and some key words.
What would happen if we get rid of
our chemicals when the very farmers may not know why things grow?
Why do we have to use as many chemicals as we do?
Also would GM food decrease land value and by how much,
for how long?

If you treat a relationship as if you are the only one in it, eventually
you will be.
Atrocities happen when the people about you -
start considering you surplus.

My Grandfather told me there are two kinds of people:
those who do the work and
those who take the credit.
He told me to be in the first group -
there is less competition there. -
