Opinion by Dana Milbank: This one weird trick can save the planet
You’ll need to protect the tree from deer if they’re in your neighborhood and you don’t have a fenced yard. Don’t have a yard? You can plant a native viburnum, goldenrods, asters, sunflowers and pussy willows in containers on a balcony or patio.
But leave the rest of your plants alone, for now. Tallamy ultimately wants to cut lawn acreage in half, but “there is room for compromise,” he s/aid. Think of your noninvasive plants and cultivars as “decorations.”in Castleton, Va., has a similar message for the purists who make you feel bad about your blue hydrangea. “Don’t give me crap about something that’s not native but not invasive,” she said. “I’m never going to tell you you can’t have your grandmother’s peony.
I also took a small step in the painful task of killing my beloved lawn. I used landscape fabric to smother about 400 square feet of turf. In its place, I planted a smattering of canopy trees , understory trees , shrubs and various perennials and grasses . Right now, my seedlings look pretty sad. Where once there were healthy lawn and vibrant shrubs, there is now mud and scrawny sprigs poking from the ground every few feet. I put up chicken wire to keep the kids from trampling them. The carcasses of my invasive plants lie in a heap on the gravel.
