Not.
I don't really understand why it isn't apparent to people that none of these creeps are doing their jobs, doing a goddam thing more than they are told. Nobody does more than that at work anymore. I've wondered for long why everything has not simply collapsed, but see the power of belief really does enable pigs to fly. But especially with this global economics gig. There isn't any solving it that doesn't get you serious grief from bad, bad criminals. I guess maybe the power of denial enters into this too. It might be proof positive that the alternative researchers are RIGHT about what powerful beings we are.
Still, the splat we are landing with seems to vindicate the power of ignoring above all....

I worked at a nursery, and learned to graft some trees. Nursery wants 100% propagation, 99 is acceptable but they really want 100.
ReplyDeleteIn a nursery you can control the survival rate by controlling the conditions. When you plant in the wild, there's only so much you can do. I have the most spectacular survival rate of any of the tree planters in the coast redwoods. The companies brag if they get 15% survival. I get at least 60% and usually way more... Phil....
ReplyDeleteI planted hundreds of thousands of pinus negra (Black Pine) on the first full moon after XMAS exclusively. (Sadly I can't remember if I did it more than one year, I think I did), seed isn't the same as grafting, You can loose many with seed, those poor bastards eventually got to go out of the greenhouse.
ReplyDeleteGrafting however, controlling the conditions is a given, it's wasted energy straight up from every angle.
I'm telling ya though 100% +-2% or ya won't be working long as a grafter.
If your going to get specific about a genus like Sequoia, maybe you have done more planting.
My time is up on that. ;o)
I did many pinus, many sequoia, but I also flipped round and did "lemon" or a myriad of juniper, or whatever... many = many where many equals thousands or more and not just pinus, not just trees, can be other genus as well. A lot of deciduous I did, A lot of other kinds of plants and not just TREES.. and not just at a commercial nursery like OKI (eventually internal corruption killed OKI Nursery. I was into construction shortly before their demise.)
Also not just propagation, but landscaping and just planting for the hell of it, and bonsai.
My experience with Giant Sequoia is they Burn up if your not careful, and they drown if your not careful, and some can look like a BUSH with a zillion stems if your not careful, but when they GO, they fucking really go. At most, someone might need to trim a "Y" for maintenance.
But your welcome to call me bunk.
I planted coast redwood, which is different from giant sequoia in that it can't withstand the heat and dryness. Coast redwoods like getting their feet wet. The deal is, when you're planting whole hillsides of them, entire tracts, thousands and thousands of them, you have to place them where they can get enough shade, make bowls to catch as much moisture as possible, hope to hell the summer's not too dry and winter doesn't wait another eleven months to return. Replanting a southern exposure clearcut is nearly impossible because of the need for enough shade. They need some sun, but mostly shade when they are babies, and we're talking way out in bumfuck nowhere... gotta plant them so they stand a chance by themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe green foresters all fought to get me for their clients because of the survival rate. It was heavy going, very hard, but joyous work. Gotta do it in the dead of winter and be able to drive over miles of soggy dirt roads and tromp more miles carrying hundreds of seedlings and tools and I looked like something straight out of a horror movie when I got home, but dammit there are thousands of trees growing right now because I planted them, and I'm seriously proud of that.
Now that I have recovered from my surgery I can go back to it, though I don't think I could last through whole days of it anymore, or have to go to the gym for a few months first, but all the people who like to hire me for this are now a four-hour drive away... thinking of calling them to get the word out to people closer to home....
I'm not as big on gardens and orchards as I am the redwood forest. I always want my yard to be ferns and trillium and redwood duff....
ReplyDeleteBut I used to raise compost worms to make mega-soil for friends and family with big gardens. The dope growers in Mendo World would give me their depleted dirt and I mixed it in with kitchen scraps and let the worms go to town. The most AMAZING things happened to plants that grew in the dirt made by me and my worms. A dahlia that would have won every prize in the flower world. FUCKING AWESOME! OMG, almost as big as a sunflower and a sort of neon lilac colored petals with a BRIGHT yellow center. Knock yer socks off good dirt.
Also lots of experience farming... from seed in the greenhouse to harvesting in the field.
But redwoods, baby, coast redwoods, are my heart and soul.
