Monoculture
This really is beside the point, I guess, but I offer this comment. Two
weeks ago a local landscaper came by here to buy plants for some of his
projects at Mountainaire, a subdivision at the top of a 5000 foot peak
where lots sell for $150,000.00 each, and told me that our garden has
given him a totally differnet perspective on landscaping! I now have
about 500 different hostas, many in multiples of 100 due to the TC lab,
and there is very little room for anything else! It truly is a
beautiful site, and so far the lack of other things hasn't hurt anything
that I can see. Our main problem is the almost continuous rain we have
had this summer. That in combination with the cool temperatures, rarely
above 70°, has made the weeds very competive for space. I guess the
weeds are serving as our companion plants, at least until we can dig
them out, and the preen kicks in. Preen works folks.
