California Native Plant Society

Yeah, you need those pictures.

And I'll also plug the California Native Plant Society.

So, you know, it is pretty well known that native plants generally, not all of them, of course, but they generally have co-evolved with fire, especially here in California.

And so many of them offer some characteristics that lend themselves to fire resilience.

Some of them don't, right? So when you're making your compost, if you add that to the native soil profile, do you see an enhancement in the plants or do you see them getting leggy? I mean, where are the native plants with that? Are they okay with it?

About 20 years ago, there was a big argument with California Native Plant Society San Diego, and they didn't want to use compost at all.

I hope that they've changed their minds since then.

But I think that native plants, because they grow up in such... adversity some of them hillside you know that kind of thing they don't need a lot they don't need a lot okay some of them like ferns and redwoods i mean that's the environment i grew up in they can take a lot of that yeah
