@TheConversationUS positive Victorian. Must be the lowest minimum wage in the OECD.

@TheConversationUS Sounds like PA legislators should be paid that amount.

@TheConversationUS like the Kentucky Derby, the PA State Senate has been controlled by the mob for most of its history.

@CaptainFlab those bookmarks are gold

@CaptainFlab Given the self-destruction of search engines, maybe it's time for a printed Internet Yellow Pages comeback. Perhaps with QR codes?

On a small scale, you could make 3-ring binders with local websites and put them in public spaces like coffee shops, so you can easily add or remove pages as websites come and go.

@TheGibson That's because running an instance is freaking HARD.

Hats off.

I'm under no illusions that this would be a *good* engine, just that it would be an interesting way to balance the shortcomings of both approaches towards something symbiotic.

@skyfaller Did you ask them to create an edible landscape? Because that's what stands out to me about the choices.

It may be they thought "natives except for edibles, which for most of us are non-native species".

In any case, to create an equivalent edible landscape with natives, you'll need to research not just their needs (so they can be grouped together by similar needs), but also which complement one another, and bring in what kind of pollinators/pests, etc.

@skyfaller I've no direct experience but I've heard good things about Edge of the Woods plant nursery in Orefield for native PA plants.

@skyfaller When you say native do you mean to your area of PA, to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast? Eastern half of North America? People use this term to mean different things.

I agree that if you want straight species and local ecotypes you’ll probably have to get them yourself. I would trust very few people to understand those concepts well enough to do what you want. People think they know what you mean but the idea in their heads is different from yours.
