Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance

The point being that fossilization typically involves the material that made up the thing getting fossilized being replaced by minerals in the ground. So the organic material is replaced with minerals, aka rocks.

Fair point. I played loose with the term 'fossilized'.

Plus, everyone knows that what plants really want is electrolytes.

It's almost as if they don't notice the obvious fact that Florida is covered in dense flora.

Plenty of rainfall, too. You can grow anything there, that's somewhat heat-resistant. Just a matter of soil amendments.

I really love it here in Florida, but if only this "beach sand" could support plants.

Installed a rabbit fence around my garden - complete with a working gate.

The cedar fence is “decorative”.

Rabbits are now so ravaged by myxomatosis in the UK populations are at levels low enough to start to concern scientists.

Rabbits are latest species to see huge decline in numbers
SCOTLAND’S rabbit population has declined by up to 80 per cent since 1995, according to new research. Figures from the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) show that the UK’s rabbit population has fallen by around 60 per cent, but has suffered even more north of the Border.

Lol I'm with Paul. We'll be happy to ship some over from Ohio, any time you run out over there.

If the flora in Flawda don't get your country ass, the fauna will. You'll never even hear the "buzz."

Few farmers will miss them if they do go extinct. They are not an indigenous animal in the British Isles and were thought to have been brought here originally by the Romans. Right up until the 18th century they were not established in the wild. Huge efforts were made to help them get established including the building of artificial warrens.
The trouble is they are no longer a part of the British diet, in my youth every butcher would have them hanging from hooks outside their shops. I've not seen that in decades.
Now restaurants actually import large farmed breeds from France at around £12 a kilo rather than eat wild ones which are around a pound each.
They do perform a useful service in the wild as a prey for many species of birds and mammals and they help in keeping heathland from becoming scrubland.

Rabbit makes good goulash.
