  • @youtubeoffname
    @youtubeoffname Před 26 dny

    This is what Africa needs. Please keep asking local sources. Then, showing, and sharing; what is possible with easily available plants. This way, you could not only hedge off private properties, but control wildlife without killing them unnecessarily, or simply out-competing them. I imagine vast networks of live fences, with passage and link gates - all from Mother Nature. Then, feeding man and beast (or, are we just all 'beasts'?) together. Best wishes, man.

    • @MaxLemayian
      @MaxLemayian Před 26 dny

      Thanks for your kind comment! Yes, Kenya and Africa has a opputunity to uterlice many indignious plant species for many different needs. Live fencing is one example. Others are fruits, animal fodder, bee forage, energy, timber etc. For the last 100 years exotic species have taken this role but now is the time for indignious species to outshine them...
