In Montana, noxious weeds have become a widespread problem due to ecosystem disturbances and degraded landscapes. Over time, the dominant method of managing these weeds has been the use of herbicides. But herbicides leave behind toxic residues—harmful both to us and to the planet.

Chia Thrane is taking a different approach. Through rotational grazing, her herd of goats naturally manages noxious weeds, restoring biodiversity, strengthening soil health, and proving that healing the land doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense.

Women of the Earth, produced by Summer Moon Productions, featuring stories of women across America who are leading a new movement to restore and protect the land. By focusing on women in land stewardship roles, the series will explore women’s unique relationship to the earth and their innovative undertakings to heal the earth from climate change.

After Promising to ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ Trump Mandates Production of Cancer-Causing Glyphosate

On February 18, President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) invoking the Defense Production Act, historically used to spur production of supplies needed for national security, to guarantee the supply of glyphosate-based herbicides, claiming a lack of such weedkillers would “critically jeopardize agricultural productivity, adding pressure to the domestic food system.” The EO also gives Bayer-Monsanto immunity from future cancer lawsuits. Ken Cook, president of EWG, which supported some aspects of the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, said he couldn’t “envision a bigger middle finger to every MAHA mom than this.

you know how my directory post mentions asking about my ocs? well here's your opening for that! here's a compilation of a few drawings of my absolute favorite oc, kelso! some information about him will be right after the pictures :)

kelso is a transmasculine and bisexual person who uses they/them and he/him as pronouns, with no specific preference for either.

he is polish, and it's his native language. he learned english after moving to the US.

he is 28 years old and works as a mortician, but he also paints and collects bones and trinkets as hobbies! he also loves the movie making process, and has a crazy amount of DVDs.

he has 3 cats: hattie (old orange cat that he brought with him from poland), goose (a big grey maine coon), and toothless (a fluffy black cat, named after the dragon of the same name).

he loves sweets and, for some reason, hard boiled eggs. he puts salt on them and munches away. yes i am serious.

and the alternate outfit was made entirely for fun! :o)

happy asking!

Herbicides that even Fish Mint can't beat (Essay)

Killed Fish mints

Fish mint is a tough plant. I heard that when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and when Agent Orange was sprayed on Vietnam, this plant sprouted before any other plants.

Fish Mint

By the way, the family who moved into my house after renovating it are car enthusiasts who spread gravel in the garden. Fish mint was growing there, so the owner sprayed herbicides on it.

I thought that would not be enough to kill the Fish mint, but a month passed without sprouts. I felt that they must have sprayed a strong herbicide, and when I looked into it, I found that they must have sprayed Roundup.

Roundup is a neonicotinoid pesticide that enters the plant body through the leaves and kills the underground stems of fish mint. The underground stems are the lifeline of this plant, so if they are damaged, it will surely die.

Fish mint is a medicinal herb, and I'm sure it has been used, so I'm afraid I have to disagree with the method of extermination. Neonicotinoid pesticides kill insects, especially honeybees, and threaten humankind's survival and are banned in Europe. (Albert Einstein said that if the honeybee became extinct, humanity would perish within seven years.)

ドクダミでさえ勝てない除草剤（エッセイ）

Fish Mintは強い植物である。広島に原爆が落とされた時も、ベトナムに枯葉剤が撒かれた時も、この植物は他の植物に先立ち、真っ先に芽吹いたと聞く。

ところで、私の隣りの家屋をリフォームして引っ越してきた家族は、そろって自動車好きで、庭に砂利を敷き詰めた。そこにFish Mintが生えてくるので、家主が除草剤を撒いていた。

私は、そのくらいではFish Mintは絶えないと思っていたが、1か月経っても芽が出てこない。強力な除草剤を撒いたのだろうと考え、調べてみるとラウンドアップをまいたのだと推察された。

ラウンドアップはネオ・ニコチノイド系の農薬で、Fish Mintについては、葉から植物体に入り、地下茎まで枯らす。地下茎こそはこの植物の生命線で、ここをやられたらさすがに枯死するだろう。

薬草であるFish Mint、使い道もあるだろうに、絶滅させるというやりかたには賛成できない。ネオ・ニコチノイド系の農薬は昆虫、とくにミツバチを殺すので、人類の生存にさえ関わる物質であり、ヨーロッパでは禁止されている。（アルバート・アインシュタインは、ミツバチが絶滅すれば、人類は７年で滅びると言っている。）

How to Safely Apply Onekil Herbicide in Your Garden

Maintaining a vibrant and healthy garden requires diligent care, and effective weed management is a crucial aspect of this process. Onekil 10% EC, a cutting-edge herbicide by Dhanuka Agritech Limited, is a game-changer in the fight against weeds. In this guide, we will explore the safe and effective application of Onekil in your garden, ensuring that your plants thrive while weeds are kept at bay.

Understanding Onekil:

Before delving into the application process, let's understand what makes Onekil stand out. Onekil is a post-emergence, contact, and systemic herbicide, designed to control both narrow leaf and broadleaf weeds. Developed with advanced chemistry, it offers a dual mode of action, ensuring a comprehensive solution for weed control. Its absorption by the crop's foliage and root system provides extended residual control, making it a reliable choice for gardeners.

Safety First: Preparing for Application:

Read the Label: Start by thoroughly reading the product label. This provides essential information on application rates, safety precautions, and guidelines for specific plants.

Wear Protective Gear: Prioritize your safety by wearing appropriate protective gear, including gloves, long sleeves, pants, and safety glasses. This protects you from any potential contact with the herbicide.

Choose the Right Day: Select a day with calm weather conditions. Avoid windy days to prevent herbicide drift, and refrain from applying Onekil if rain is expected within 24 hours.

Identify Target Weeds: Familiarize yourself with the types of weeds in your garden. Onekil effectively targets narrow leaf and broadleaf weeds, ensuring that you can tailor your application to the specific challenges your garden faces.

Application Techniques

Mixing Onekil: Follow the recommended mixing ratios as specified on the product label. Use clean equipment, and ensure proper agitation during mixing to achieve a uniform solution.

Sprayer Calibration: Calibrate your sprayer to deliver the correct application rate. This ensures optimal coverage while preventing over-application.

Spot Treatment: For targeted weed control, consider spot-treating affected areas. This minimizes the impact on non-target plants and reduces overall herbicide usage.

Timing Matters: Apply Onekil when weeds are actively growing. This enhances the herbicide's effectiveness as the plants are more receptive to absorption.

Post-Application Care:

Observe Waiting Periods: Respect the waiting periods specified on the label before harvesting edible crops. This ensures that any residues have sufficiently degraded.

Monitor Plant Health: Keep a close eye on the treated plants and surrounding vegetation. Report any signs of stress or adverse reactions promptly.

Storage and Disposal: Store Onekil in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. Dispose of empty containers responsibly according to local regulations.

 

The Lasting Impact of Onekil:

Onekil, with its innovative formulation, offers a lasting impact on your garden's weed management. Its dual mode of action, efficient absorption, and extended residual control ensure that your plants are safeguarded against the encroachment of unwanted weeds. As a product developed by Dhanuka Agritech Limited, Onekil is a testament to the organization's commitment to providing reliable and effective solutions for gardeners.
