The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don’t want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.

I’m still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I’m a gringo, I shouldn’t have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.

    Have you tried this?

    Where I live, native species is brush that will eventually cover my entire house.

      Edit: yes I am trying this right now. I’ve planted a bunch of native species in one area of my front yard. They seem to be taking well, next summer I will plant some more in a other part. Mulch around the natives helps to keep the weeds and grasses down.

      There are often more than one native species of plant. And repairing a yard ecosystem takes time and care and attention. I understand folks have little spare time with full time jobs and whatnot, but an imperfect naturalized yard is better than a sterile grass monoculture that requires a ton of mowing.

        So… I should go through all of that trouble because you don’t like hearing lawnmowers?

        I’m curious what planet you are from where you think anyone would do that.

          Native pants tend to have checks and balances in their environment. Kudzu, eastern honeysuckle, English ivy, vining nightshade, all of them will eat your house if you take them out of their native environment.
