March 6, 2023, 6:30pm: "Learning, Processing & Musing, re: things imperceptible to human beings."
About this podcast. This audio was recorded, re: an experiment I ran while dog sitting for a friend with large canopy trees in Buda, Texas. This was recorded while walking my friend Julie's dog, Merle; first on Remuda Trail, then Oxbow. The experiment: I watered large canopy rootballs and all manner of leaf stomata around Julie's home for about 80-minutes on March 5, because it appeared possible to "bring" rain within a few days. We got rain the very next morning on March 6.
"Bringing the rain?" Several things were amazing about this:
This property. What's most unique about Julie's property is she had been nurturing her multi-acre landscape for wildlife, biodiverse soils and ground cover (not carpet grass), native plant regrowth, and regenerative/organic food gardening for roughly 10 years, by this time. Her landscape is most-likely suburban oasis, as moisture sinks and moisture-sharing organisms goes, relative to the other properties in her town.
This town. Lastly, her town: Buda, TX, had at this time exceptional tree canopy connectivity across the entire area. This may have since been disrupted by massive population growth, but that green infrastructure (intactness), in Buda, in based on the preservation of large, old-growth, Texas Live Oak trees. Mature Red Oaks and large, old-growth Texas Live Oaks, so far, appear to be the most catalytic of all the trees I've worked with. Buda has dozens of priceless trees, in this regard, alone.
