Sent hubby to by glyphosate. I am a #permaculture minded gardener, which usually means using nature to solve problems. Unfortunately, I inherited a place where people have introduced some very vigorous plants that don’t belong to this eco-system and are annoying in my garden, but devastating to my nearby native wild areas. (As I don’t have a gigantic lifestyle block, my community and my local wild areas are my zones 4-5) after considering this, I have decided that sometimes, the responsible thing to do is to use an in-organic herbacide. I will not be spraying this stuff. I will be suiting up and using a paintbrush to apply it to morning glory, because of it’s growth habit, this is just the most practical means I have to control it.

What do you think about the value of soil/earth/dirt? Here's an open source soil amendment strategy "for improving 3 acres of low-quality soil, enough space to grow sufficient food to feed 100 people within 1 year."

Although there is a lot of horrible stuff in the world that you can’t change, if you focus only on what you have no power to change, it’s futile. When you feel angry, disgusted, outraged, or anxious, find something you can do about the problem, focus your angry energy on that, even if it’s something small.

I can’t change that my country’s economy is reliant on stolen phosphate from Africa’s last colony. (And that before that, we went through Nauru and Barnaba island) I can’t fully boycott NZ farms, nor do I want to. I also can’t forget it and ignore it while 170,000 Sahwari refugees starve. I can grow my own #vegetables using #organic and permaculture methods, without using (environmentally unideal) superphosphate; and I can promise I will never shut up about why I’m doing it. I’m going to use the hashtag #MyGardenProtest and post my updates as I aim to produce up to 90% of my family’s vegetables.

I’m also going to link some more information on the Sahwari conflict to this hashtag to raise awareness.
