Often when we discuss problematic species we hear the word invasive thrown around. However, that’s not representative of the whole picture. Here is a list of terms and how to differentiate them and understand when and why plants move from one designation to the next. NATIVE: A plant indigenous to a region. This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s endemic to that region. It represents a lRead More…

Treating the Symptoms ( A philosophical Ramble)

Ok this is going to be one of the least practical posts, because i’m not speaking just about medical symptoms, i’m speaking on generalities. Current culture cares more about the effect than the cause. When it does realize that it needs to break a cycle, it looks for the closest causal (more often correlative) connection and focuses all its efforts there. We look around and see symptomsRead More…

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce, reuse, recycle: a phrase familiar to most of us. It’s origination was designed to teach the youth and much of America how to reduce the rate of our landfill usage, as well as lowering our consumption to a more sustainable level. Fortunately most of us have not gravitated past these simple concepts. What was meant to be a catchy reminder has also served to convince a large percentage of theRead More…

Know Your Zone

Zones correspond to naturally occurring conditions of a region. Generally these are applied to native species and elective agriculture and gardening can broaden the radius of each zone into more of an overlapped pattern. This is because we can artificially modify our environment to create man made ecosystems that are more accommodating to the species we choose to grow. So dont despair if yRead More…
