Answer 1

We do when possible.  I think the problem is most aren't selective enough.  Plants run in families and the organisms usually attack the whole family.  We usually only want to attack one branch of the family.

We had a similar problem with animals.  In the past natural predators were brought in to attack a foreign species that was attacking crops.  The predator attacked something else that was easier to catch, or that it just preferred.

That's the problem with so many "green solutions."  They aren't very well considered and their secondary affects are often worse than the problem they try to solve.

Answer 2

I think we do this in some ways already by balancing our septic systems and restaurant grease traps. As a homeowner, I used a substance called Rid-X to pour into the water to flush it down into the septic. This was supposed to help invigorate the friendly bacteria to start digesting the waste. Your question made me think of the grease problems mentioned on the news today and how many are dumping their grease into the sewers. There should be a much better way to deal with this besides prohibiting disposals!Maybe along the lines you are thinking...
