So, I wouldn't exactly say that borax is "pet-friendly", but some of these methods work (like the boiling water method). When using herbicides, even home-made ones, think about how it breaks down, or if using it will harm pollinators or nearby plants. And now I know what to do with an old bottle of cheap vodka!

weed killing is a mental disorder of western industrial violent civilization

in real life and real forest, plants are happy to be together and benefit each other, all lives are, it is only humans that appear as pests to the rest of the ecosystem

@iriyan Um, not every plant is helpful to native species. Some crowd them out. That's the situation I'm dealing with. I'm making room for native species to flourish. And you are...?

Plants didn't ask your assistance, or alliance against other plants. It is your sole declared war deciding what "needs to grow" and what doesn't, which is the source of all problems in nature

If you left it alone a little while (a couple hundred years) forest will repair itself from your invasive destruction

@iriyan And yes, humans are the pests, since they have brought invasive species to places that they didn't exist -- throwing the ecosystem out of balance.

I have been doing my best to train this among the local farmers in our area and am so happy to see our community changing from fighting nature to supporting it. How can we promote this kind of farming among other farmers?

It is a lost cause, farmers have been conditioned to produce and participate in a market, and that dynamic will have soil losing and urban septic systems getting rich ..

the mentality needs to change, from "farmer" to community living and surviving in a forest .. no import or export ..

I speak a loud game, but I have ripped my share of some Australian invasive species from sprouting here and there .. I didn't bring them over, they are here now, and they seem to have better drought resistance than everything that WAS native .. as climate changes what was native is turning to dust.
