Lawns are less than 15% of the water use in the west. As much as 79% is used for agriculture, almost all of that being to grow crops to feed cattle… still, kill your lawn, grow native.

There is an area in NM that I saw when driving from Tyler TX to Parker CO in which I believe you would like to poke around. Also, my son is part of a team seeking to revitalize the area where a dry lake bed is posing danger to a nearby highly traveled highway. You two should meet. Wishing you more wonderful travels.

In Starr county,TX there is alot of volcanic ash from a volcanic eruption 27.2 million years ago. It's from a now caldera in the Sierra Madre Occidental range where a huge amount of ash was deposited between the range and the Rio Grande. The wind rained it down to a 60' accumulation along the river way back then. It buried trees everywhere. As time went on erosion exposed petrified trees in places like Roma,TX. At 808 N. Grant St, Roma TX there are a clump of petrified trees right in front of the house! The variety of plant life shown there in Jim Hogg county is amazing Joey. Found it through the small wind farm.

Nice diversity of plants. Nice cacti and the peyote of course is known worldwide. I didn’t know that parasitic plants can thrive in this dry environment. I now wonder if the Nediterranean has caliche substrates. We have a lot of chalky land in Greece but not something like that. Also nice Sceloporus lizards.

It's hard to cultivate those species because they need all the sunlight to thrive, but the biggest issue is that they get outcompeted by the invasive grass (African grasses). Basically the invasive grasses make the cultivation of every native a labor intensive venture 😅

How much do birds, insects, mammals, contribute to the spread of particular species of plants in such areas, based on their migration patterns, territorial behavior, etc.? I wonder ... are there patterns to the spread? (Humans ... always lookin' for patterns, eh?)
@GeertSawekСағат бұрын
I think you answered your own question. As for how much and how... There are myriad plant, animal, climate, geographical and geological considerations. Kind of difficult to put a fine point on it.

I love these wonderful flowers growing in what is essentially no soil at all and with no watering at all..Our landscaping "experts" could learn a lot. I live in an apartment and I try to grow native plants on the porch. I dig them up .But because I have to put them in pots, they are not happy unless I water them frequently. How deep do the roots of these plants go? Twenty feet at least, I think. My plant captures don't have that room and therefore they aren't happy. I suspect these flowering plants here have some co-evolved fungus or bacteria that enable them to use the water that's trapped in the caliche by breaking down the calcium hydroxide that is there. Edit: "Why is there not a large native plant nursery... centrally located?" I live in Austin, which is pretty central. To sell these plants, you'd have to sell them in pots, and they don't seem to do well in a pot. People don't want to try to raise plants from seed; they want instant results. My solution is to let them volunteer on my porch and see if they survive. Eventually I'll have a "stable" of native plants suitable for people like me in apartments. One difficulty is that pollinators don't often come up to the 7th floor. :-|

Plenty of natives do fine in pots, they just have to be large pots. Most natives do fine while awaiting sale in pots, so long as they eventually get planted in the ground

why use f/29 aperture when taking your macros ? Is the depth of field a problem even at f/11 ? I'm curious because often at f/29 your optics will eventually act as a camera obscura and be diffraction limited, and often that means worse quality than at a lower f/#, like f/11.
@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt3 сағат бұрын
The closer you are to a subject the more depth of field you need, especially when taking macro shots. F/29 works great for me with little diffraction. Trust me, f29 looks exponentially better and more in focus than f11 at this close distance to the subject
@tenns2 сағат бұрын
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt huh, I guess I expected 105mm was allowing to be far enough away for the distance not to be a problem! The photo seemed a little soft on focused high resolution detail like the white fuzz on green and yellow top, but it might be the youtube compression! Do you use a ring light on the lens or top mounted classic style one? Is the flash more for contrast or to get a nice and high shutter speed for no motion blur? I've been struggling to get a good setup for macro, especially with the depth of field. But I think I would need a camera with a smaller sensor and lens with shorter focal length for the depth of field to be reduced at a similar megapixel and field of view of the subject. Otherwise I have to setup the whole thing on the ground, and compose shots at different focus to get a nice result. Thank you for the vids, they are a great ressource.
