We have helianthus tuberoses spreading all over the garden, moles ship pieces to new destinations and they take root.
One I really love but is quickly showing off its ability to take hold is silphium perfoliatum check it out and let me know if you want high germing seeds!
I believe anything that tries to take over, is in fact filling a void that you have not been able to effectively fill the way Mother Nature can and will, for the betterment of the ecology of the earth you maintain, does that make sense? People say nature leaves no bare patches, when possible, unless the area is so scorned that a pioneer plant has not found its way there yet.
I'm starting to relate better to plants that don't have immense stolans nor make masses of seeds, as if their sending out the troops to rally aganst the minorities we wish to help thrive.
at the same time a complex problem arises in our wishes to control and dwarf nature by trying to micro manage what should be a roaring ecosystem and replacing it with shorter then life "cultivated" varieties of our favorite native or even fitting exotic neighbors.
And what may seem fitting one year will undoubtedly become a controversial dilemma as what seemed like a good friendship becomes an unruly household when somebody decides "its not working out" we all grow and expand in different directions,
the goal as humans is to not overshadow or belittle anyone, that said, plants may not be so tender hearted as they can be fierce competitors taking charge of the situation and acting like a unwieldy adolescent bullying anyone smaller, and exploiting the resources all for themselves.
But some magic does come into play right around here as the science of understanding the dynamic relationship mycelium play as mitigators to these burgeoning goliaths, that is to say,
Mycorrhizae dictate species selection for the balance of the ecosystem, almost as if they understand the importance of poly cultures, their biofeedback is so very sensitive as they link everything in and it seems they are very aware what's going on and don't appreciate a certain someone getting out of hand, so they cut off the daily allowances to such individuals before bigger problems arise.
Of course some of these capitalistic giants are exactly the perfect fit for these mycorrhizal interactions to make the most of the energy being distributed to your little piece of heaven, just like in any thriving business, so they continue to direct the sugary sun based source of life into their fungal networks in hopes of one day finding enough supply and demand to entertain everyone in the garden in a equality based fashion.
So this efficacy can still be a representative of the higher photosynthing life forms, at least from the standpoint of ones regional locality, this is to say the mycorrhizae know who is most proactive in turning light into matter that way the fungi have better infrastructure to dwell upon in turn helping them stabilize the overall climate for a more comfortable lifestyle/cycle, while these fungal proprietors go on building micro metropolises they understand the effects of rising above all else and drawing to much attention so as to catch the eye of the enamy. And when you put all your ducks in one pond your bound to run into a stressful scenario since this is not what nature intended. There fore before anyone empire/species makes the head of the table/bed equity must be taken out and stocked elsewhere. does this make me a commy? Im going to go to bed now I hope you followed along on the one facet of how nature runs companion planting through underground bio networks that are always just on the other side. Next time maybe it won't all be about the mycelium. So it will be about climatic factors that come into play for dictating what ultimately compliments our gardens life force. Please excuse my errors I am a human.
