Default The plant Internet. What does it mean for us?

Hi All,

I saw a fascinating short documentary on how plants communicate:

The Earth's Internet: How Fungi Help Plants Communicate:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tjt8WT5mRs

It is 5:20 long.

The stinkers talk to each other!

So, by now all my Zukes should know about the squash bugs
and be taking preventative measures!

Anyway, what are the implications for us? Any changes
we should make in the way we plant things?

I have noticed that plants tend to like being close to their
own kind.
