Remember holistic thinking? Started in ag. Weeds vs weeds is the name of my game. Herbalism is alive a well far below the world of markets. I remember learning way back about weeds telling what the soil needed and also making tea from certain plants. I don't usually work that hard, but I do compost my weeds.--chop and drop if no seeds .and broadcast all sorts of seeds in different areas. the results are amazing to me. And red clover is too beautiful to turn under, so I work around it. I also have alfalfa field that often goes to seed. But amazement gets offset by chagrin when I see what washes downstream every spring in the seasonal creek. New weeds I've never dealt with before that would like to grow here are growing in the currently damp only stream bed .

Thanks for sharing this reflection on your relationship with weeds and your approach to managing them! I agree, red clover is beautiful. That's interesting about the seasonal creek bringing in new weeds. Have you found any particular strategies helpful in managing those creek bed newcomers? It's always fascinating how nature finds new ways to keep us on our toes!

@@SeedsofHopePodcast Dealing with the county weed board is pretty ineffective. Although these plants are poisonous to people and livestock, they are not on the State noxious weed list. My best hope will probably be the native plant people making some noise. I'm a former Master Gardener. Maybe I'll call and see how ineffective they are. They can't possibly advise using poisons in a stream bed, or can they? Am I responsible for what is growing upstream? Perhaps an examination of that watershed next summer? These are issues of which people living in non-naturalized areas are ignorant and those are the people moving out here.

@@judithmcdonald9001 We talk about the water cycle and organizing for watershed restoration in the next podcast episode with Yam Aisner coming out next week. You're absolutely right - doing your part is important but working with people upstream matters just as much. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I love when a scientist says “that we know of” it’s so realistic. There’s something being discovered every day and many academics seem to think that what we know right now and our current understanding is all there will ever be. Much like she said her professor had never heard of mycorrhizae. A phenomenal soil biology follow up to this conversation might be the Tainio guys or anyone from Advancing Eco Ag. As far as nutrient runoff in South Florida Brian LaPointe is brilliant and an awesome human being. 🤙 All the best.

I caught this episode on Apple Podcasts (my first time checking out the podcast) and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. Dr. Sobel's points really resonated. Thank you for doing this!
