Back at the farm, bullish on anything we can leave alone for two months and just thrives 🍒 #farmstr https://cdn.satellite.earth/92a828401cb07327d8483a0ce85ec3d9a64cd3f370d0bfb8e422919de78ee12d.jpg (Elaeagnus umbellata "Garnet", bad ass nitrogen-fixing pioneer species with great berries)
Yeah, I know that's what the experts say. I automatically translate what they call "invasive" to "^pioneering species" and "opportunistic" and often that's exactly what regenerative farmers are looking for. I'm in France (Bretagne, the relatively harsh center of it) and this and other InVaSiVe nitrogen fixers (black locust, goumi berry,, etc...) are extremely useful to us.
