Semi-OT: World's Largest Greenhouse Complex, Mar de Plastico

[Kelby]

Saw this photo series today, had to share it. Enormous greenhouse complex in SE Spain that covers over 185 sq. miles. Called 'Mar de plastico'. I'll bet you could grow a lot of figs under there!

Ah, sea of plastic! I have something similar on my property, but not as benign.
It's a sea of poison ivy. Underneath it is the sea on Lyme ticks

Rui,

If you can, get some guinea hens, they will clear the ticks like ruthless assassins! Then get a few dwarf or pygmy goats, believe it or not, they plow through the poison ivy.

That's an amazing sight! Must take a lot of water for all of that.

Right out of sci-fi story. That's incredible.

It truly is amazing. The amount of people and resources to keep it all operating must be astounding.
