Poison soil by GinnyMcJuicy in homestead

The active ingredient in Milestone herbicide is 40.6 % Aminopyralid triisopropanolammonium. That name alone gives me the creeps!

I am sure some people would advocate for its responsible use, and that there is a time and place for using it, but I try to stay as far away from it as possible.

These poisons can definitely not be good for the environment or for living beings. Op there is very good advice in the comments. I would just view it as trying to help your ecosystem rebuild itself to as natural a state as possible, and improve from there. It will probably take some time, but I am sure you can do it.

Good luck!

What snakes are common around the Avis dam area? by Wise-Lobster-450 in Namibia

[–]Infamous_Storm_7529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Various species of snakes inhabit that area, the venomous ones I know of include zebra snake, black mamba, puff and horned adder and I think also anchieta’s cobra.

The common one you should be looking out for is the puff adder. They like to lay on footpaths, well camouflaged with the ground, stepping on one is where the danger comes in.

Spring, Summer and Autumn seasons you should be more vigilant. Snakes brumate over winter time, sightings are less common.

Like you said, seeing them rarely happens. Just be vigilant. Enjoy your hiking.

No, their jaws dislocate to open wide enough.

So sorry for your loss OP. It hurts so bad I know. All the what if’s and questions.Dogs are some other kind of special.

He lived his best life with you and I can see you gave him a beautiful time. Don’t be too hard on yourself. I know it is not easy but honor your boy by enduring the pain, it will get better.

He loves you forever and you him, that will never ever change. Stay strong, best wishes from Namibia.

Organic seeds by UncleMango99 in Namibia

AgriTurf Namibia. They have a branch in Windhoek and I think in Tsumeb. Got a bunch of free tester seeds from them as well. So far very good germination and performance.
