awesome facts man!!!! people have no clue what their missing out on!!
False notion our government spreads about shortage of food….they really
despise the idea of ordinary people not connected with giant agribusiness
growing their own food… that might make them healthier, and not need
medications. .these ugly lawns, “parks” practically devoid of trees, and
golf courses…. they are great for boosting the sale of lawnmowers and
herbicides and having a place for elites to play with their balls, but
serve no other purpose.

An act so seditious that most people would not see it as seditious.
if you do this in a public place, fling each shovelful of dirt into the
wind to “leave no trace,” also a good wide mulch ring is the best defense
against city workers on lawnmowers
Any followup on this tree? Also, I’m wondering how the chemical maintenance
of that park has affected that tree. I like the idea of adding to it
gradually to create a food forest in the park.
It would be great if all your neighbours had the same idea!! That park
would be beautiful with wild flowers and native tree species to keep the
little wild creatures happy. Trees and some plant species can also provide
perfect nutrition for us as well. :))

I’m anti lawn. It’s an arms race to see which neighbor has the “best” one.

What about things like gas/electrical lines? How do you manage the risk of
hitting one of those?
