That's the whole point of 'us and them' -
it's a default situation, if we ain't 'us',
we is 'them' regardless of whether or not
we bleed when we are cut - and the
beheadings have proven Shakespeare's
words that we is all 'we', not 'us and them',
only 'they' can't seem to get it through
'their' heads .... sigh .... guess 'they'
haven't read Shakespeare ....

Thank you for the natural vs synthetic "equivalents"
under Fertility at this site. And the other for using
stock/poultry generated heat for the greenhouse ...
reminds me of many National Geographic articles
about how supposedly 'primitive' cultures have been
able to live 'comfortably' (more or less) in spite of 
the 'unkind' climates where they live.

But I learned a 'new thing' ! (for me) :

(snip)..."Grafted plants are earlier, root disease resistant, and produce a 
larger crop than non-grafted plants. They can also withstand lower soil 
temperatures. The disadvantages of grafting are the extra labor requirements. 
Virus diseases are also easily transmitted if a few plants are infected."

Grafting woody stock is one thing, grafting ??vegetables?? 
is "something else" !

Thank you for a very enlightening and educational
several hours.
