I feel like I read one of these a month. While it's clearly super hip to rail against horticulture's modern attempts to function ecologically rather than harmfully, there's actual science on both sides of the debate right now, and the above post handily ignores all of it. <br /><br />I'll happily duel papers if you're inclined Noel, but is that really what you were hoping to get out of this post? To go to bat for industrial agriculture? To malign the attempts of many of us to create gardens that provide habitat? <br /><br />Certainly, you're welcome to define your work with any terminology you choose, and I'd agree that "naturalistic" is a far better choice for you. But why the unfounded vitriol for the work the rest of us are doing? I'm sincerely curious. <br /><br />- RebeccaRebothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02590018624363509039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223294603002782762.post-31554715572449136292018-06-25T01:37:02.572-07:002018-06-25T01:37:02.572-07:00Why do you hate raised beds?

Just a small note - the term ‘enhanced nature’ is actually mine, and used a lot by James now - coming from the title of one of our conferences. - Nature Enhanced. Always good to be clear on the derivations!

"Gardens are not natural and it is high ...Yes. "Gardens are not natural and it is high time to stop pretending that they are. They are a regimented version of nature which we make because we like the outcome, and which make us feel good."<br /><br />Unfortunately, the entire planet is now a garden, and we've decided we know more than other species and other ecosystems.
