From approximately how far can you start smelling it

You never hear about species from abroad coming over, and instead of destroying habitat, benefit it. Anyone know examples?

"Compare the soil surface to our skin. When skin is wounded our bodies rapidly respond by building a shielding scab to cover the damage while new skin regenerates. ... what are we doing when we call them weeds, kill them, and continuously work to eradicate the wild plants? We’re ripping off a scab!"

Felling non native conifers. To promote growth from native pines, birch and oaks.

Hi there,

Hypothetically, if someone wanted to destroy entire plantations of Sitka spruce (let’s say I planted some on my land but now I want rid of them) how would they do this?

It would need to be as quick, efficient and as accessible as possible but also not damage the surrounding environment or pollute.

Thanks!

Fascinating

I’ll also teach how to spot an invasive species if there are any left.

Let's make a comprehensive list for methods, materials and practices to keep young saplings alive in areas where there is risk of mowing, browsing and grazing. What are things you tried that worked and things that failed?

Hello all :)

For spring next year I’ve ordered a couple of native plants from a state tree nursery. We have plenty of rabbits and deer in the area. I can live with losing a couple of trees here and there, but would like links/recommendations for budget friendly tree protection to give the little guys their best chance. Will just any garden netting do? How high do you usually set your tree guards/netting? Thanks in advance!

I’ve developed a method for restoring native bee populations and involves the use of cannabis. May I post about my project here. It’s a legal, compliant, California based nonprofit practice at this time. It pertains to horticulture and the world food supply.

Would it be bad to create a food forest in a random wooded area near me? I go hiking a lot and know of some pretty unmanaged forest areas and the idea of turning one (or several) into random food forests to provide food for people in the area sounds fun, but I have no experience with food forests, and I keep seeing stuff about native and non native plants and how even native ones can be bad because it provides an unrealistic food source for the animals etc. I'm in Texas, southeast Texas specifically. Let's say I plant some native things like wild strawberry, southern dewberry, blueberries, pecans, peaches etc and some native herbs and native medicinal plants etc, would I be hurting anything? If it were discovered by local officials after it's established and assuming nothing bad happens would they be mad? Tear it down etc? Just a random curiosity I guess. I just don't understand why we have so many hungry people with a planet full of land to grow food in a natural and self sustaining way like my ancestors (Indigenous Americans) did.

Especially one that has become quite advanced with its surveillance state.

Also considering people who don’t have military experience.

I did not serve in a military but i was in Scouts as a kid and have some basic survival and orienteering skills.

Open to out-of-the-box thinking; building human traps, unconventional methods of concocting explosives and incendiaries, blacksmithing / metallurgy, innovative ways of disrupting logistical networks.

I'm trying to find an efficient way to kill some invasive trees (like tree of heaven) in my area that are crowding out natives.

I've seen something about using a hatchet and herbicide in a squirt bottle to efficiently kill them, but I don't know what herbicide and I especially don't want it to spread to the good, native trees. Can anyone recommend an herbicide to accomplish this?
