Happy Halloween from BEYOND THE KALE......
A while back I bought a 500g sack of alfalfa seeds from OSC with the intention of growing my own mulch, but I haven't tried it yet. This conversation is inspiring me to get those seeds in the soil come spring.

@flowerbug why not start out with small sections to start a planting area.Then adding built up beds using weed-free mushroom compost. If you have access to a tractor till the soil several times before adding weed free prepared top soil heated to high temps kills most any seeds or roots if you consider producing your own top soil. Let it sit and cool , cover to maintain quality control until time to plant.
That technique is sustainable and nurtured my 2 acres of various trees,plants shrubs , perennials, and a veggie garden.
The post was really more about the history of chemicals used in horticultural practice and it's relationship to human health through the last century, not so much vaccines. I had always assumed polio resolved due to hygiene and nutritional improvements, so I was surprised that those were not really root issues. I try to stick to the garden stuff in my thread as much as I can, though I'm glad you posted what you did since I've wondered if people who got the polio 'vaccine' still got polio, much like we've seen in the last couple years with another vaccine. I guess so, I bet not many people know that. Seems to further confirm Forrest Mareading's findings.My sister had polio in 1950’s. We were all given the vaccine .Thankfully I did not get polio . My sister was quarantined. It was a horrible disease. Once the vaccines were established polio has been eradicated in the US. There have been a few cases in the US. These case of paralytic polio was detected in the United States, highlighting the importance of routine polio vaccination.
Mr Google info - in the US the polio pandemic occurred between 1948 and 1955, and the disease was a major cause of disability in children. The World Health Assembly adopted a resolution to eradicate polio by the year 2000. As of October 2022, naturally acquired polio is only found in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
