Why is it good for farmers to switch off between growing peanuts and growing cotton?
Cotton is a plant that makes huge demands on soils and area resources. Peanuts are members of the legume family. That means that they're nitrogen fixers. So they're able to change nitrogen from a form that's present but inaccessible within the soil, into a soluble form that's available for use by plant roots and the organisms of the soil food web. Therefore, peanuts build back up the soil that has been ravaged by cotton production. For it makes nitrogen available. And nitrogen is one of 17-18 elements that are essential for healthy soils, soil food webs, and plants. It's one of what are called the macro and secondary nutrients, for their use in larger quantities by soils. And it's therefore one of the three major elements that's found in artificial, commercial, conventional, fast-acting, synthetic N-P-K fertilizers. For the N stands for nitrogen, the P for phosphorus, and the K for potassium. And the bag of fertilizer always indicates their proportions within the total mix. For example, a popular choice is 10-10-10, which means 10% each of each of the big three elements.

Why do I have cramps after eating pecans?
Possibly because you eat too many at the one sitting. Nuts are extremely laxative.
A peanut is nourished by nutrients and water in the soil. The plant's roots carry out anchorage, storage and uptake functions. For the feeder portions of the roots move the nutrients and water from the soil, up through the roots and stalk, and into the shoots, to carry out the photosynthetic interaction with the sun. Through photosynthesis, the nutrients and water help create the energizing starches and sugars that the peanut needs to carry out necessary plant activities.
Are the nuts from a chestnut tree edible?
American and Chinese Chestnuts (Castanea) are indeed edible, however 'Horsechestnut' trees are the kind which are commonly found on American properties.
This type of tree, actually called Aesculus Hippocastanum, contains nuts which are quite poisonous! They have certain food and drug qualities, but only after going through extensive processing techniques.
If your chestnut seed casings have dense and long spikes, you might have the real thing.
