Plant Health?


Jerry: I strongly suspect you of just chucking in a firework to see
the dogs bark....(and most of your other points I can nod along to
quite happily)....but never let it be said I failed to rise to a
provocation. Ok. So what's tendentious about the notion of plant
health? Or the notion of health as applied to any living thing, come
to that? What's sentience got to do with, as Tina might well have
sung? If our living (sentient or nonsentient) thing ceases to be
alive, it's dead. If it's alive, it's either more or less healthy,
depending on how near to  or far from (a) life, (b) death. Hardly
seems controversial. Care to explain why it might be?
