Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Smittyctz6 <cityhomesteader@gmail.com>]

I don't think it is plants having a spirit, I totally agree that there is a spiritual force at work within the created world that has not ever stopped doing it's job and that that Spiritual entity embedded into all created things its own essence or as the greek say    Dunamis .

Plants show preference for relatives

If the sea rocket detects unrelated plants growing in the ground with
it, the plant aggressively sprouts nutrient-grabbing roots. But if it
detects family, it politely restrains itself.

The finding is a surprise, even a bit of a shock, in part because most
animals have not even been shown to have the ability to recognize
relatives, despite the huge advantages in doing so.

If an individual can identify kin, it can help them, an evolutionarily
sensible act because relatives share some genes. The same discriminating
organism could likewise ramp up nasty behavior against unrelated
individuals with which it is most sensible to be in claws- or perhaps
thorns-bared competition.

“I’m just amazed at what we’ve found,” said Susan A. Dudley, an
evolutionary plant ecologist at McMaster University in Hamilton,
Ontario, who carried out the study with a graduate student, Amanda L. File.

“Plants,” Dr. Dudley said, “have a secret social life.”
