Scratch your lawn, garden or field surface to sketch your own future with small plants, reptiles and animals and thereby to sustain natural life in a more balanced, productive and diversified way. Enliven your immediate natural world and strengthen the rainbow of vegetation and creatures that sustain you in a myriad of hiddenways Think and act to renaturalize your homestead and community. For example, that cedar in your garden may be protecting your lungs from cancer?

Wuhlax asks gardeners that they think of new ways that they can further renaturalize your surroundings. You, yourself can think. Do I really need to support as much lawn? Perhaps, in its place, I could create a canopy for wild life by planting a hardwood tree that would actually produce food or provide shelter. Open your seedbank to nature and explore hidden strengths and weaknesses.

Wuhlax asks farmers to discover and let others know what their soil is capable of sustaining without fertilizer? Can your farm reduce it's dependence on energy by self sustaining practices. Does your farm really need a ploughed field? Are there hedge rows that can be nurtured for diversity?

Wuhlax asks everyone whether there are there enough small wild birds and creatures nearby that feed on the flying insects and mosquitoes that bother you? Give your surroundings a chance to rebalance naturally and at the same time help your own health through love of your living spaces. Can you grow food plants, protect the tiny lizard under a log or stone? In what ways can you recapture the strength of the soil around you to feed your natural community. Perhaps, you would share your findings with us here at Scratches to Sketches!

Cut off rather than pull up toxic plants such as wild garlic. Knowing how to control toxic vegetation is as important as knowing how to sustain benign vegetation. As you learn, inform others and share your insights.

Realize that the smallest of birds travel 7,000 kilometers in a single migratory flight across the North Atlantic into deepest Africa. Some fly as much as 14,000 kilometers twice a year!

If you can diversify your landscape for perennials and life that is self sustaining, perhaps you have ideas that you would like to share. If so, I have a gmail address that starts with wuhlax! Or, you can twitter me at @renaturetek.

Why the Republicans are on a track to lose big in November

It does not take anyone with a bit of intelligence to realize that George Bush was better than any of the new candidates the Republican GOP party offers voters. This is a turning point in American politics because the Republicans in their attempt to reinvent have managed the circumvent. Mish explains the economics of the politics:

Giant solar storm headed for Earth could disrupt power grid, air travel - The Globe and Mail

If it isn't rain and wind it's now the effects of solar flares that blow away at earth's protective shield. Too much solar wind and we are bombarded by cosmic particles from other galaxies or from stars within the milky way!

Solar storms mean turbulent ‘space weather’ over Canada - The Globe and Mail

Sun spots occur in regular cycles of busy and quiet periods. The spots are indirectly responsible for magnetic storms that can affect communications. For about four years, we have had an exceptionally quiet period with low storm activity, but over the next few years things are now likely to get busier until the storms reach a peak.
