"That's total BS, you just have to be good at gardening and farming."

Acuualy thats far from true, a precise knowledge of the complex dependencies and symbiotic relationships between microscopic organisms, molecules, prey and predator and vegetation is required. The entire human scientific experience has not developed such knowledge yet.

For the record it was farmers and environmentalists that destroyed the surface soil layer in Australia and turned much of the habitable and farming viable land into desert. By introducing hunting game - the rabbit.

You don’t need to know the exact math formulas to the physics behind the inner workings of the internal combustion engine of a car to be a mechanic who’s fixes those engines. You just have to know what tools are used on what parts, how to put it together and what the timings are on the gauges of the parts and tools.

The same principle applies to gardening, you don't need to know the exact DNA make up of a plant to grow and take care of the plant. You just need to know what type of soil, how much sun, how much water, how much fertalizer to use and how often to weed the plant.

That is why your state is BS.

Same prio
