It's interesting...but it tires me of these people who take everything at face value, without making a minimum of effort to understand.
The guy is a market gardener, he is not an academic!
When he says without water, it means without watering.
Big scoop! obviously vegetation needs water to grow.
Indeed, born on the spot, he is not aware of benefiting from rainfall and a climate rather favorable to market gardening.
BUT on the other hand, he says that some years he has absolutely no tomatoes* and that at such times his wife tells him that the activity should be stopped.
*I imagine because of diseases or lack of water?
So his practice is not all rosy either.
Once again the nags of the net who take everything literally without making a minimum of effort to understand, when he says that the agris are lazy, that does not mean that they do not work , that means they don't do any (sorry, not enough ) effort to reflect on their practices, which boil down to: ploughing, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and watering.
And the sales technician of the phyto product seller who says which product to apply and when.
So yes, they are lazy not to think about doing otherwise.
And sowing water-hungry plants in areas that are often dry and then emptying the rivers is not thinking either
Well, otherwise, this report is oversold.
