TT: Re: Lawns
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
J.L.
I'm glad you posted! I always like hearing about prairie plantings. It
seems that 'prairie restoration' is __slowly__ becoming an accepted
landscape style. I wonder if 'woodland restoration' will ever become as
trendy (trendy is a stretch, but someday). I have numerous books on
Prairie Restoration, Wild Lawns, etc., but none that go into the same
depth for woodlands. The Tallgrass Prairie Handbook is the latest to
come down the pike, with sections for seeding, growing, planting, and
caring for prairie plants. Anyone know of any book that covers forests
restoration in that kind of detail? Most woodlands are not endangered
like the prairie is and maybe that explains the lack of 'restoration'
type books?
BTW, Honeysuckle is the worst weed around here. Letting an area 'go'
would result in a thicket of honeysuckle that prevents almost all other
woody plants from growing, not to mention the damage this early leafer
poses to woodland wildflowers.
