truck driver":3a5ao3fi said:Some where in this thread weed control was mentioned and here in the east we had no real weed problem till no till farming was introduced and then the weeds took over. Also with the use of herbicides we lost our game bird population not only due to loss on habitat but also because the herbicides caused sterilization of the eggs. Now you are hard pressed to find Quail and Pheasants in the fields. As my neighbors cleaned fence rows to create a more suburban look to their homes with open fields behind them I choose to let mine alone so I have honeysuckle and other natural native plants to provide habitat for various birds and animals. I had one neighbor dumping her yard trash on me because she said it was just overgrown weeds which it really wasn't but in her suburbanite eyes it was an eye sore an I had to correct her politely and told her to keep her trash to her self or take it to the county recycle yard.
Man is his own worst enemy and destroys more than he saves mostly because he can. JMHO

If life were only so simple, but sometimes we need to learn the hard way before we will ever change "Our way" to a problem or issue.
