Maybe we can rephrase this to 'Which species of mushroom is most likely to produce a harvest in less than 5 years in temperate climate?'… – iwein Jan 31 at 20:46

I'd rephrase to "What is the speed of soil penetration for mycorrhizae" potentially also adding a few words about the initial conditions and env. Definitely also fix the spelling error. 'mycorrhizae' is a word I have to look up every time, so no judgment ;) – iwein Jan 13 at 7:36

Maybe we can split this into multiple, more specific questions, for different climates and soils. Not all crops grow everywhere, and the answer could become long. – iwein Jan 17 at 15:47

what agricultural zone? What kind of soil? What kind of wind? What's the slope and elevation of the land? – warren Mar 21 at 12:15

There are a lot of very different correct answers to this question. Perhaps we can reduce the search space by being more specific about the context? – iwein Jan 31 at 20:47

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

Better question - "is organic farming better for the environment than conventional farming, and, if so, how?" – warren Feb 7 at 16:24

Better: "What cash crops are most often added to a corn and soybean rotation in {zone 6b}?". The answer to "is there" is always always "yes" or "no" - which is not especially helpful. – warren Feb 7 at 14:27

Maybe rephrase to be more specific. The question is clear enough to me, but I see a 'not a real question' close vote on this one. How about: 'Is there a natural solution to stimulate phosphate availability for clover in grassland without using it as input?' – iwein Jan 17 at 15:45

	it's not clear from the question which country, and whom would make payments. Maybe clear that up? – iwein Jan 23 at 12:02

	any forms of animal husbandry still go on in winter. As does processing harvested produce into other things (canning, fermenting, dehydrating...) – warren Mar 24 at 12:36
	@warren this is not a place to answer questions. Considering how active you have been in A51, and the fact that you have told other people the same thing, I wonder why you are doing it in this case? – Nike Dattani Mar 24 at 12:39
	@Nike - I am quite aware this is not a place to answer questions. I left samples because this question has been downvoted, though it's an obviously-good-fitting question. – warren Mar 25 at 20:21

Bringing in words such as "possible" tend to lead to discussions. How about, for events that are very rare to hear taking place, asking about it like: "Are there any researches/results on organic no-till farming?" It's possible a person already having great results on that is then able to answer. – leguchi Mar 14 at 2:39

I'm curious why this gets so many downvotes. It's a perfectly understandible question which could be answered with a link to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_C4_plants – iwein Feb 23 at 12:23

A question that is answered by simply entering the keyword in a Google search is not a question for Stack Exchange. – Nij Feb 24 at 10:14

@Nij ... right up until the answer on Google comes from SE ;) – warren Mar 21 at 12:04
