Gregory's ServerI wonder if there's such a thing as guerilla gardening geocaching.

@neauoire someone needs to build a big centralized platform where we can all put our entries into :thonking:  @tty nice :) I will probably make 2-3 more on our way up, and check up on them again on our way down. I might make a page on the 100r wiki about this, there's a few things to watch out for when doing this, and I'm not sure I like the idea of inspiring people to go plant invasive species all over, but I think if done well, this could be a pretty useful geocaching project. @neauoire In Sweden there is a site called Fruktkartan (=the fruit map), an open database where you can add fruit trees on public land, https://fruktkartan.se/. This is obviously another step, but somewhat similar. @neauoire I think the sentiment is noble but I would encourage a bit of caution when introducing plants into the environment. This can wreck unintended havoc on local ecosystems @WoodPixel of course, that's why I chose these two islands which are already tempered by human activity.  @neauoire I don't know if this counts but local Craigslist has had GPS locations of apple and cherry trees that are bearing in excess.  @neauoire Went homeless. Done Guerrilla Grazing by choice ever since @twistylittlepassages It makes these perfect holes and I can put the cylinder of removed soil right back on top, with its tuft of moss.  @neauoire Tangential: after looking up that coord, I absolutely love the fact that the nearby towns are called "Squirrel Cove" and "Whaletown". And now you just planted Flavortown. Went to look over the soy and mung beans I've planted on a nearby island. They look healthy, they love it here. @neauoire So are you trying to make them endemic? @amelillo They have much less chance to survive than the plants naturally found in these parts, and they'll die in the winter. But since there's a short span between seed and pods, they're pretty ideal. I've been planting them near logging camps where british loggers brought holly and all sorts of other things to plant around their cabins, I'll keep an eye out, but if they do too-well, I'll pull them out.   Went back to check up on the lentils and fenugreek seeds I've thrown around. I expected one or two seeds per mudball to sprout, not all of them. @neauoire ope you've proven that island is fertile growing ground now, I give it a week until some billionaire buys that island as "farmland" (jokes aside, that's awesome that you're getting growth on what probably amounts to muskeg?) @neauoire @KolokokoBird This question is one that haunts me. Alongside "how will you stop the boar from digging up everything you plant". @flatmountain @KolokokoBird the boar can have it if it wants it. So far nothing seems to be wandering in that portion of the island. I think it's a logging camp and it's all fenced up. |
@neauoire yes. You've just invented it. Brilliant.
