Podcasts about ironweeds

Summary Each fall, the beautiful, rich, purple blooms of ironweeds (Vernonia spp.) grace fields and open areas throughout much of the eastern U.S. They are an ecological powerhouse for pollinators and wildlife, including a specialist bee. Ironweeds can make amazing additions to our native plant gardens where they serve as biodiversity magnets. In this episode, we discuss Mt. Cuba Center's Vernonia Report which includes information about how multiple ironweed species performed in the garden trials, the importance of garden soils and conditions to plant growth and health, how plant health can impact pollinator use, and potential management techniques.   Today's guest Sam Hoadley is the Manager of Horticultural Research at Mt. Cuba Center where he evaluates native plant species, old and new cultivars, and hybrids in the Trial Garden. 3 things you'll learn from this episode: Insights into the diversity and ecological value of ironweeds, including their ability to attract a specialist bee and other pollinators. The importance of selecting the right ironweed species for specific soil conditions, including some standout performers for average mid-Atlantic garden soils. Pros and potential cons of management techniques like the Chelsea Chop to control plant height. Resources Sam mentioned: Vernonia trial report Previous trial reports Mt.

Hey folks, welcome to another episode of The Mind of a Skeptical Lefist. This time around I talked to Chris Scully of the podcast Ironweeds and the band Zombie Giuliani. We covered a lot of ground in this chat but for length I did have to cut a little bit because we went so long. We talked about his podcast and co-hosts a little bit, anarchism, social ecology, the environmental crisis that we're facing, and so much more. Ironweeds is a podcast where the hosts discuss current events and news items and analyze them using a leftist framework. While the format is fairly common, the hosts of Ironweeds are not. They are clever, funny, knowledgeable people with an obvious care for the well being of others. I highly recommend you check it out. And if you like punk then check out Chris' band Zombie Giuliani, I can't say that I'm a big punk fan but I do enjoy listening to Chris' band.

This week we've got some local and national stories that are certain to restore your faith in the democratic system. J/k, this is Ironweeds, you know what you're in for.

We’re back baby! After six long months of remote podding we’re together again to discuss some awful stuff. The government is destroying private industry by giving people enough money to survive. Palestinians in East Jerusalem are being evicted and brutalized by the IDF and settlers. We all do a self crit on our former hatred of Elon Musk. And in Belgium, an adorable border dispute has caused a bit of a stir.   Support Kiani and Market for Troy City Council! https://kiani4troy.com https://marketafortroy.com   Palestinians in Jerusalem under fire: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/7/al-aqsa-worshippers-protest-palestinian-evictions-in-jerusalem   https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/11/29/eviction-of-palestinians-in-sheikh-jarrah-part-of-israeli-policy   https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/7/european-powers-tell-israel-to-stop-settlement-expansion   Belgian farmer accidentally moves French border: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56978344.amp   Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/Ironweeds

Recorded before things really popped off last week, Sean was joined by returning champion Andy Battle and co-host of Ironweeds podcast, David A Banks. We hope this wide ranging discussion of capitalist space, de/unionization, de/industrialization, supply chains, gentrification, uneven development and class struggle will be an oasis of calm as you righteously take the streets where you are and then [REDACTED].
