Companion Perennial Planting

As with any form of companion planting, doing so with native plants focuses on the idea of beneficial diversity in a sustainable garden. There are numerous benefits native plant companions can provide:Preventing diseases through diversity is of immense benefit.

While driving on the New Jersey Turnpike in early May I espied a beautiful and wondrous sight. An expansive and long "Corridor of Habitat". A wildlife corridor is a link of wildlife habitat, generally native vegetation, which joins two or more larger areas of similar wildlife habitat. Corridors are critical for the maintenance of ecological processes including allowing for the movement of animals and the continuation of viable populations.

Poison Ivy Eradication

We had the good fortune of being contracted to remove a massive growth of poison ivy. Growing to a height of 8 to 10 ft with trailers climbing tress up to 35 or 40 feet, it was growing alongside a small stream bed/culvert area which led to its spread to a nearby athletic playing field of a muncipal school.
