We used to make our own fertiliser and it was run by the government, like electricity, like trains, to avoid this specifically.

It's like fertiliser is so important, we need to make it in Ireland so that this doesn't happen.

And then once the Berlin Wall collapsed, you had unfettered neoliberalism.

the Gulf countries, because to make nitrogen, you need to have natural gas.

So it all became there.

But it's like we can make it really cheap there.

However, there's this thing called the Strait of Hormones and Israel and Iran might have a scrap at any point and all of it has to come out of there.

They put profits before the needs of people.

They put profits before food security.

And now this is where we are.

But at the same time, fertiliser is shit because fertiliser has created huge problems.

Is there a way for Ireland to grow enough food that we need without relying upon fertiliser that destroys the environment?

Well, it depends.

But that's the thing.

Like, I want to start composting.

If I want to fuck a lot of cockroaches into it, am I going to destroy limerick?

And that's with our earthworms.

Was a market garden a market you go to and the food is grown by your neighbours?

It's great for the head.

And again, it's like even something simple I find with spring onions.
