My blogs
| Introduction | Hello, My name is John Gormly, formerly of Rutgers University and most recently of Bartram Forest and the Georgia Forestry Commission. I have started this blog to present my ideas about our planet, Earth, and about food-crops, water, and building good soil. While at Bartram Forest I lived the principle of No Child Left Inside. In the forest, children focus their attention on birds, wildflowers, trees as they walk our trails and visit our interactive lesson sites. Bartram Forest absorbs the excessive energy of children and leaves them in a peaceful but alertly attentive state. Bartram Forest is also a demonstration site for university students and other adults; see Southern Pine Beetle Control and the control or elimination of Non-native Invasive Plants. We demonstrated the replacement of invasive plants with desired plants, such as a vegetable garden in an area that had previously been invaded by privet. Although we are in a severe drought, this garden did not need watering at all this summer. I did add some lime to the area. I hope you enjoy my blog. John |
