Spring wonders

It’s the end of May 2025, you could change the date forward or backward by a few years and the results are the same. The stupidity of the American homeowner, let me explain. For some reason a dandelion or clover is offensive to many homeowner so they pour on the 2,4 d and other broadleaf chemicals thinking they are eliminating these offensive plants. The truth of what happens next is totally out of grasp to these folks. Let’s go over a few things that happen when people control weeds. First, the weed appears to die or be knocked back, second the soil is compromised, third, the chemical starts to break down, this disintegration doesn’t mean that the chemical is now inert. These lawn chemicals are compounds, this means its multiple ingredients combined. Some of these ingredients stabilize the volatile chemicals that actually kill the plant material. When these chemicals become unstable they become more dangerous to animals and people. So let’s stop for a minute and think about the increase in heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and obesity, are we seeing less cases or more? The answer is more, it’s designed that way. The 2,4 d and other lawn products are designed to kill. DDT contains 2,4d, DDT was used in Vietnam to defoliate and kill crops. Let me ask you this, when you treat your lawn and lose trees that have been alive a hundred plus years, do you think they died by chance? We live in a world where very few people have any ability to think critically.
Let’s go on now, the tree is now dead, it needs to be removed. The same homeowner that killed it with their genius management techniques now decides that first thing in the spring it has to come down. The tree has been standing dead for a year or two and we just came through a winter where the ground froze tight. Don’t you think a cold February day would have been much better to get a crane in there and remove 25 tons of tree? Less turf damage, easier cleanup, stump ground and ready for spring. That’s not how most of these stupid property managers think, first thing in spring they have to have the tree removed. There is no care for bird and squirrels nesting, no care for the lawn getting rutted, no idea that the removal is generally cheaper in the winter. The very lawn they they are trying make perfect they are asking a tree crew to scuff up. Lawn damage comes with large removals, it’s not a problem with the tree crew, a good company puts it back together. Now the tree is gone, the lawn is topsoiled and over seeded in the damaged area, guess what happens next? The homeowner or the lawn chemical company applies a pre emergent herbicide. The new grass seed doesn’t do well with pre emergent so the home owner complains to the tree company because their seed was no good. This true scenario can continue and does year in and year out, why is this? Marketing, plain stupidity, low IQ, self centered and lack of any idea how nature works.
I write this because it’s simply amazing to me the disconnect that people have, it’s no wonder that America is on a downward spiral. The general population is clueless. The very “weeds” these people despise, dandelion, nettles, chickweed and so on are healers. God provides medicine in nature and most people have no idea.
