This has many bad effects. But you need to work hard to persuade me hand pulling or burning weeds is worth it over, say, very selective pesticide application. 031
Reposted by Emil Steiner 🗳🟦🇺🇦🇵🇸Harry @harry-is-human.bsky.social · 8hApart from the fact this is BS at a scientific level, using organic farming as a makework programme is pretty dismal. The extra labour in organic farming is things like weed pulling. Exactly the sort of grinding repetitive work we want to get rid of! 2142
