Celebrate Waste:Food Forest, Two Good Nasty Plants

The Sandgarden is a $15,000 permaculture home that heats and cools itself, processes it's own waste and grows food. This film is from the Food Forest series and contains a chat with Jordan Hosea about two invasive plants: Arundo and Cattail.

You are absolutely right, and we are devastating this earth by chopping trees for it..

If I am not mistaken, it's about the cellulose content if you want to make paper.. Trees are not a good source for that and need to much and intensive work on it..

It ain't that hard to figure out why paper is called paper and not something else.. paper = papyrus

These would probably be useful for making paper. In Africa there is a woman making paper from straw and other reedy plants. The paper is like the old kind of paper but if you used machinery you could probably come up with good paper. The original paper that was made in Egypt was made of a reedy plant called papyrus.

It should be kept out of natural sites, but places where people use the land it should be ok to grow. We should be allowing enough space to preserve biodiversity which includes preventing invasive species from taking the habitat of the native life forms.

I just found a place to dig up cat tails so I am going to be getting some soon.
