It's finally "spooky season"!  So let's talk about things that lurk in the dark.  Because we humans are not afraid of the dark, per se, but of the things IN the dark, the things the darkness is concealing.

Why are we humans so obsessed with mowing?  Granted, there are good, ecologically sound reasons to mow.  There are also good, ecologically sound reasons NOT to.  In this Dirt Dispatch you'll get my thoughts on mowing, monarchs and sylvatic plague.
