Bugs rid strawberries of bugs


Could eating strawberries become acceptable again, among the ultra-Orthodox? So many people avoid eating strawberries because of supposed infestations. If a strawberry grower would discover a new method of keeping the bugs away from the strawberries, everyone could enjoy the strawberry once more. perhaps.

Some strawberry growers are trying out new methods, in an attempt to keep away bugs while also reducing the usage of toxins as pesticides. The new method uses bugs to get rid of bugs. Shortly after planting the new crops, a type of bug is spread throughout the area. This bug feasts on the vermin that infest the strawberries, thus ridding the strawberries of the bugs many people so worry about. Another improvement to the strawberry is by raising bees in the same area, as the movement of the bees spurs additional growth in the strawberry.

And, perhaps an additional bonus is that this is a type of activity that benefits from cooperation and can perhaps be one that helps promote peace, or at least a peaceful coexistence, as Palestinian growers also want to improve their crops and learn from these new methods....
