Hello.
No foundation, Milobina, and Manager Nonko are always welcome.
Thoughts from Bacillus subtilis natto
Last time, I talked about organic natural fertilizer that uses natto bacteria.However, by chance, on the radio I always listen to,
People who grow roses have found that dissolving the sticky natto in water and sowing it in the soil reduces bad bacteria and increases good bacteria.
He spoke about how the soil becomes richer.
It also reduces the incidence of rose diseases.
Wow, natto is amazing!
But...I feel a bit uncomfortable with the way these terms "good bacteria" and "bad bacteria" are named.
The reason is that I believe that so-called "bad bacteria" also have a role to play.
There is nothing unnecessary in nature, so I wonder if it is really okay to label things as "evil" just for human convenience.
Pests are a weird word
We also use the word "pest" to refer to insects, but if there were no cockroaches in the world, all kinds of dead bodies and dead leaves would remain as they are, and the world would become a much dirtier place.
Centipedes can be frightening when they appear inside the house, but they are actually beneficial insects that enrich the soil, just like earthworms.
When plants get sick, it is the necessity of natural selection, so we cannot say that viruses or bacteria are to blame.
When I see people using the "G" to describe cockroaches and expressing their loathing on Instagram, it honestly makes me sad...
That's just a human assumption, isn't it?
Recently, there are so many children and young people who hate insects, which makes me increasingly sad.
Pointlessly hating insects will destroy the future of the global environment and ultimately threaten our food supply and livelihoods.
In areas where nature has been lost and the road is mostly asphalt, there are few opportunities to come into contact with insects, so it is only natural that people feel fear when they see insects, which are ``unknown'' things.
That's why I think it's actually very important to actively create opportunities to come into contact with insects and change your preconceived notion that you dislike insects.
What do you think?
