The world's most unwanted plants help trees make more fruit
Keeping the spark alive is hard in any relationship. It's especially hard for fruit trees trying to attract pollinators.
Kleiman compared mango trees at a local farm in Homestead, Florida. One plot of trees had weeds growing around them. The other plot was maintained and weed-free.
The pollinators preferred the trees with the weeds. In turn, the trees benefitted and produced more mangos. In fact, there were between 100 to 236 mangos on the trees with weeds, compared to between 38 to 48 on the trees without weeds.
Kleiman points out findings apply to mango trees, but also to all of the roughly 80 percent of flowering plants of Earth, including fruit trees and all flowering vegetable plants like tomatoes, beans, eggplants and squash. She also hopes this information can help farmers save time and money, as well as reduce the use of chemical pesticides.
I guess it improves the draw for bees and pollinators because there's more there? I wonder if this would have a similar effect if instead of simply weeds, it was other plants in general, especially those that flowered? Regardless, this is pretty damn interesting.
Oh yeah. For example in Japan it is traditional to keep a little patch of forest in lands that were cleared of it. They are called Guardian Forests and serve a bit of a spiritualist purpose, said to be where the local god manifests:
Studies on them have shown that maintaining this patch of local nature increases crop yields in nearby fields. They increase biodiversity, which help pollinators, but also do things you don’t expect immediately - For example, the birds that roost in them help eat rats and mice that may eat crops. By maintaining this natural space, we get helped in many ways, not all obvious Simply put, biodiversity attracts more biodiversity, and helps nature overall - Including the nature we like to eat. That could be local weeds, or old forests, or whatever else, but it seems as though the central point is that you want some parts of the environment to remain a little natural and wild so they may support that which naturally occurs in the region

ppl rlly dont know how modern leather is tanned and it shows lmao theres not enough plastic in the world enough to ruin ecosystems the way those chemicals do. Y'all just love paying corperations to taint people’s drinking and cropgrowing water with chromium and aldehydes.
Leather work is also dangerous for the workers.
Last week, the brand Armani made headlines when it pledged to go 100 percent fur-free. Armani joins a host of other designers, like Hugo Bos
“The unprotected workers stand barefoot in cancer-causing chemicals and use acids that can cause chronic skin diseases. Children even operate machinery and it is not uncommon for children to start working in the tanneries at the age of 13. People who work in and live near tanneries suffer as a result of exposure to the toxic chemicals used to process and dye leather,”
(If you absolutely HAVE to buy real leather, please buy it secondhand. If you’re against fur, you should also logically be against leather.)
