What is their mission?

to feed the beef

No. It's for soil stabilization and erosion prevention on a sloped property.

Strong roots! Scent also helps with sleep and stress.

Yes, eventually I think we will have enough on the property we harvest for oil because we'll need to prune it at least twice per year.

Good rainy season project

i guess it must be a fast grower but acacia are really fast at building roots to hold the dirt... i am in #madeira now and there is a LOT of eucalyptus and acacia and i get why... they are extremely aggressive at root growth and stop landslides and shit

only problem is they both tend to promote forest fires

I'm in the tropics and forest fire is likelihood. We get about 200 inches of rain or more per year.

you mean unlikely?

acacias don't propagate well without fire so they are pretty safe to plant, you have to soak the seeds and score them with a blade to make them sprout

they have a symbiosis with eucalyptus in australia because eucalyptus literally ooze the nearest thing to gasoline constantly

"low likelihood"

Very steep.... Rainy season will give and take.

Wow! Green thumb season is upon the double black diamond road.

Double black diamond in Costa Rica! 🤣 it's hard to show how steep, but the road is pretty close to 40 degrees.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrations at some of America's most prestigious educational establishments over Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza have intensified.

Students are demanding the institutions cut any financial ties to Israel.

wut is vetiver

oh, it's a poacae. yawn

this is the food for our food

also, they are prolific and robust and need little nutrients to survive like all grasses

mainly because if stuff has crumbled so much you have a river plain there isn't much more nutrients in that dirt and anything that sticks around depends on a lot of stuff running a carbon cycle, and yes grasses are good at holding a carbon cycle...

with the food animals

Get it!!!!
