[PCA] natives

[Sara Tangren]

Hi Allison.

I'm curious, do you think straw bale technology could be used to do the  
lower wall for the foundation of a greenhouse?

I get your point, alien plants are only part of the problem, native  
plants are contending with an entire alien situation.  And with global  
warming, that is even more so and more ubiquitous.

I share your frustration with the CRP "native" plantings.  Here in  
Maryland they recommend a mix of cultivars of natives and outright  
aliens.  It's hard to find a farm field far enough from  the CRP  
plantings to avoid cross pollination for my nursery.  We try keeping  
them mowed so they don't flower.  Hopefully, eventually, as I turn my  
nursery into a nonprofit, perhaps I can have some influence on the CRP  
program here.

Best!

Sara
