To ''save the Earth'', allegedly. Fertilizer run-off is a real problem, but the EU ( and Canada, and Sri Lanka, etc ) are trying to ''fix'' it in the most retarded way possible.

Like how they retardedly ban pesticide use. Greenhouse growers and regular people cannot even buy effective systemic pesticides for indoor growing, anymore. Because those pesticides kill insects, and pollinators are insects.

You know, all those bees that live inside your house.

So enjoy having your greenhouse devastated by thrips that transmit viruses.

No, predator pest management dosen't work for that.

It lowers pests populations, dosen't eliminate them. So when you buy a plant at a garden center, it's likely infested with mealybugs or thrips, or both. Maby aphids and spidermites too.

Thrips are still going to spread viruses into every single one of your plants despite ''predation management'', and a virus-carrying plant has to be incinerated, along with the pots and soil they grew in, tools disinfected, etc.

There is no cure for plant viruses.

Oh but the government will still ''prescribe'' neonicotinoids for outdoor crops, behind the gate-keeping of a very expensive ''government expert''.

So they still spray the stuff outdoors, where it kills pollinators and butterflies. You just can't use it at home ( neonicotinoids are safe to use around mammals and can be made ''retard-friendly'', such as in pellets you put on soil for the plant to drink the pesticide and the bugs kill themselves when trying to feed on the plant ).

The government ruins half of what it touches. I'm being charitable with ''half''.
