User ID: 69014651 Germany 04/23/2015 09:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nice. I planted one 7 years ago. Not sure if it made it tho. "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

User ID: 69014651 Germany 04/23/2015 09:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68927966 Chinese proverb. "Chinese proverbs suck." - Japanese proverb "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Niamh User ID: 68925773 Ireland 04/24/2015 06:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great thread! I planted all the Ogham trees for Ireland last year along with a multitude of fruit trees and shrubs. Ogham trees are the indigenous trees that were here before other species were introduced. I am trying to create a wildlife corridor. If I had the opportunity I would replant the whole country. We need to grow back the planet for future generations of animals including us humans. Not for commercial benefit but for humanity in general. Of course, everyone looks at me like I'm oversensitive and soft but far from it, I'm doing this to proactively inspire change. It's my way of giving the finger to the pyramidal institutions on this globe. |

My hubby (he is Irish) got some land near dublin and he is planning on planting a forest there. He read about some gov. program where the forest is planted and taken care of for you in the first couple of years. Since we are currently living in germany he thought it a great idea to get a forest on some of the land. I have to find out more about that project yet "He who people call a fool is not a fool, but he who takes flattery for Truth, is." |

(OP) User ID: 68740291 Germany 04/24/2015 06:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've planets about 800 trees in my lifetime. I've owned several properties over the years. I ordered the trees from my state. They are very cheap. Mostly white pine and Norway spruce. I plant them in staggered rows for privacy and as a windbreak. Of course wildlife love them. There is something spiritual about trees. Nice post. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68368500 I love to hear from people like you who are planting tree´s and who are trying to restore what is lost in so many places! Only have my garden here in germany, but I do what I can "He who people call a fool is not a fool, but he who takes flattery for Truth, is." |

driftWood User ID: 64148761 United States 04/24/2015 07:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have cut down about 1200 trees mostly pine and planted 2000 mostly black walnut. Really though screw the planet as it is just a rock in space. I planted for man as the planet is for mans use. There is no such thing as 'Mother Earth'. There are no 'Ecosystems'. Nature is a system of chaos where the strongest and fittest survive, period. Glorifying nature is a religion used by governments like the Nazi to diminish man and his God given rights. The purpose is to put man on the same level as rocks and trees so to marginalize his rights. A man thus lowered is easier to subjugate. Don't be a tool to your own downfall, support and fight for the rights of free men. |
