    Call it a waste of that grower’s time, but they’re mostly just water. What’s wasted? Fertilizer is all I can think of, and it takes very little.

      Water I guess, but in the age of data centers, that doesn’t really seem to matter anymore.

        Depends. We have zero water issues in NW Florida, while we are draining the Colorado River and Western aquifers dry.
