yes...even a small native plant in a pot will raise awareness and make the topic more present in everybody's mind....so that it can be more of a properly recognized topic in society, and lead to public gardening with more of a focus on the original natives...everywhere!!
Blackberries are introduced species in Australia. We have been attempting to reduce the number of these plants since they were introduced from Europe.
Here is an idea - plant a tree or shrub away from your farmhouse/ garden area and you wont have to worry about fighting nature and keeping it at bay. It will attract native birds as it will provide a habitat for them in the future :)
Australia is one of those countries that has a tiny percent of its landmass occupied by humans. Planting natives is a great thing, including saving water and reducing time caring for them. However, it really depends on your actual purpose for this idea- is it to attract birds and wildlife? Is it to do your bit to stem greenhouse emissions? Or is it for aethestics? I'm unclear. Unfortunately, most people watching this video are doing these things already and your main audience is being missed.
That is a pretty good idea. I'm only planting native trees now. Too much strange plants everywhere. Plus native plants can be free and will be adjusted to the climat =)
Thank you for your gift back, the wildlife will be so thankful. And I'm sure it will be great for the birds and bugs especially which are so important, lots of native species protecting your wild patch will help the gardens too I'm sure;)
Great concept. Nearly ALL of our native trees and plants are GONE. But, we have 1 saved preserve outside of town. I'll see what I can do for my little part of the world in my back yard. Thanks! Garden Blessings, GAiL
We generally leave a strip between cultivated strips to serve as habitat for various beasties that need cover. I also am blessed with various predatory bird species to keep down the stupid and diseased rabbits and other beasties that try to eat my crops. I`m not a nature freak, as, I`m in a constant battle to keep nature at bay, so I can make a living on my homestead. I understand, however, that there has to be a balance between prey and predator to keep both in balance.
