Re: Fwd: Mycorrizal "fertilizers"?

I guess it's all a matter of perspective. I have done this -- on my own
property.

I have moved the remains of leaves and decayed (5-year old) wood chips
into the garden area for the very purpose of encouraging microbial
activity.

I have also moved part of a mayflower colony and native columbine, again
on my own property, from spaces where conditions had changed and I knew
they wouldn't survive. I never remove the entire population.

As for liberating plants from the wild in general, it's a judgement call.
I've seen far too many irreplaceable vernal pools, streams, and woods
destroyed in order to build houses, to say that it's never appropriate.

Regards,
Lois
