This sounded plausible until she said they poured bleach on the ground. Then it had the smell of bullshit.
Wait, why? Bleach is a common way to kill plants in the short term without any long term lingering effects in the soil since it decomposes into salt and water. With enough drainage, the salt seeps out and plants can grow again. I’d say it’s a pretty pragmatic solution to ensuring that someone doesn’t grow anything again in the short term.

You just know some asshole would pick all the trees clean and go sell the fruit
Plant enough so they can’t make a profit.
okay, and? plant more trees then, or how superhuman is this dude that they can personally harvest every single tree?
