Chaos gardening in bermuda grass?


I’m losing the fight against Bermuda grass on my lawn. It’s too much and too well rooted to pull up by myself, so I’ve been trying to plant various native flowers (and aesthetically pleasing, flowering weeds) to try to overtake or shade out the Bermuda grass. However, I haven’t had much luck.

Does anyone have experience chaos gardening in a field of Bermuda grass or another invasive rhizome-spreading grass? What seeds just take anywhere and might have success germinating in a dry field of dense weeds?

*So far, I’ve gotten geraniums, mallows, lantanas, and wood sorrel to live but not spread.

Are my mushroom logs toast?


It looks like there’s contamination. A few months after I covered the inoculation sites with the soy wax that I purchased from the vendor, I noticed that the wax was pretty much gone.

Fast forward to now, one year later, there appears to be mycelium growing in patches across different areas of each of the logs, but there are also small fungi.

Many of the specific dowels don’t appear to be growing my celium

Traditional Grains: A Path to Sensible and Relevant Food Security

Zimbabwe and many parts of Southern Africa have long relied on maize as the staple crop. However, the increasing climate variability even in good rainfall years like 2025 and the 2024 El Niño-induced drought have exposed maize’s vulnerabilities. Traditional grains such as finger millet, sorghum, and pearl millet are proving to be more resilient and sustainable, both nutritionally and environmentally. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has emphasized the importance of diversifying staple crops to improve food and nutrition security across the region. This piece shares the growing urgency around transitioning from maize to traditional grains such as finger millet, sorghum, and pearl millet, particularly in the context of arid Zimbabwe and broader Southern Africa.
