Good news? Woofie, RUN when kudzu meets Take-Off. Kudzu doesn't need any encouragement, and with this stuff we don't stand a chance.

One wonders, if more of this "benign" natural chemical makes plants grow "heartier" and "larger" and more "resistant to pests" and able to thrive on "damaged lands," why didn't nature figure this out about a billion years ago?

This reminds me some wild claims about human growth hormone, that more of it makes you younger and sexier and all that baloney. Now, don't you think nature would have granted us all more of that naturally if it was such a "win-win" proposition? Of course, after a while the health drawbacks of taking too much HGH became known. What surprises lurk behind artificially juicing up plant growth like this?

So is irrigation.  Should we stop that?
