Closed environment?
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 31 2013 @ 01:32 PM EDT

The only thing I could see - maybe - working as a "closed environment" would be:

    The foundation from a few feet above the ground to at least 15 feet below the surface, covering the entire bottom (like a pool) is made of concrete.
    The concrete is totally accessible in all areas in order to patch any cracks that may appear.
    The seed is created in a lab in the enclosed environment.
    The environment is totally sealed from nature (like a greenhouse).
    Exit air vents are designed to travel through an incinerator.
    Entrance into and out of the enclosed area is via an airlock where cleansing takes place.
    The dirt is never removed - even after you believe you've completely destroyed the plants.
    Anything that consumes the plant must live and be destroyed in the facility.
Even with that, I wouldn't put it past nature to find a way.

And I seriously doubt any of Monsanto's testing was anywhere close to being that controlled.

Wheat is wind pollinated ...

Like all other grasses. And the pollen can blow for MILES.

So why they didn't expect it to spread I do not know ...

Cheers,
Wol
