true, but only some plants produce a "gall" that houses the bacteria that fix
nitrogen. These bacteria are anaerobic, oxygen kills them. so the idea would be to
give other crop plants the genetics to make the galls. since 74% of the air is
nitrogen, it is an infinite source of fertilizer if the plants can utilize it.

Using compost tea can introduce the biology to put nitrogen fixing
bacteria fungi and protazoa in the soil!
