Talk:How plants make food

Note that these and similar recent articles are taken verbatim from "The Household Cyclopedia of General Information," published 1881. While the information is (naturally) safely in the public domain, we'll have to do some fact-checking on it, I suspect, to ensure it's up-to-date. A notice on such excerpts might be helpful. -- April

This is kind of a schizophrenic article... A reasonably ok general description of photosynthesis for the layman, followed by an out of the blue description of why the Nile is so fertile... I'd be happy just putting a redirect to photosynthesis on this page. Admittedly, the photosynthesis page itself could do with a bit more work... --Rgamble

• Maybe redirect to photosynthesis, merge the "layman explanation" with the photosynthesis article, and leave out the bit on the Nile (which is probably outdated since the Aswan Dam anyhow)? -- April

• Thanks for the redirect.. I'll look at the other material sometime soon to see if any of it can be merged or if a more up to date "layman's description" of photosynthesis is warranted. Rgamble
