This one’s all over the place folks. We talk about massive organisms, take a short dive into philosophy/spirituality, discuss the concept of individuality, then bring it all back home for a discussion on gardening.
I run a small permaculture nursery in Lancaster PA. I’m focused on growing perennial and edible plants/trees. Check it out: www.LancasterFoodForest.com

You have the gift of teaching! My one exception to the principle of adding to a system rather than removing: Nothing I've ever added (37 years on site) has ever outcompeted the invasive species such as burning bush, barberry, bittersweet, garlic mustard, etc. that continuously pop up in the understory of our back wooded acre, especially with an overabundance of deer eating the more palatable plants. The system is overwhelmed; we thus maintain the site by removing invasives that are known to create monocultures in this context while continuing to plant appropriate species.
THIS reminds me of the movie The Matrix, The Agent tells Morpheus that the human race is a virus on this planet.
