Organic Smallholding in Central Portugal
Recently, Ragwort has received quite a bit of media coverage. Many facts are presented, but also many myths. It is, for instance, a fact that species of Ragwort are poisonous to mammals, but it is a myth that an animal dies if it ingests only a mouthful. It is also a fact that Ragwort is poisonous to humans, but a myth that it is a serious health hazard to people. Furthermore, it is a fact that Ragwort is currently more common in the Netherlands than 30 years ago, but a myth that this species is an extremely efficient wind disperser.
Although Ragworts can be a significant nuisance to horse keepers, these species are a very important source of nectar and pollen. About 150 species of insects, such as bees, flies and butterflies, visit the plant. Therefore, even it were possible, eradicating the plant is not a desirable option. We will have to find other ways to protect our livestock. There are no easy solutions to the Ragwort problem, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing we can do.
The aim of this website is to distinguish facts from myths by using a scientific approach based on research and advice from biologists, toxicologists, and other experts. In this way, we want to determine the nature and scale of the problem that Ragwort presents to our horses and other livestock. In this way, I would like to contribute to a solution of the Ragwort problem; as a horse lover AND as a Ragwort enthusiast.
We are a small landscape architecture practice with a special interest in promoting and encouraging traditional orchards. We work with schools, community groups and voluntary sector organisations as well as commercial clients to increase awareness of the wildlife and biodivesity advantages of retaining and preserving old fruit varieties. We built an award winning straw bale walled orchard garden at Westonbirt Arboretum with the help of Common Ground and the Brogdale Trust (home of the national fruit collection) to highlight this issue. We work all over the south west and are based just north of Bristol and also in the Wye Valley where the Reckless Orchard once existed.
We are a recentl upstart community and education center focused on natural building and permaculture design (as well as learning a lot and having a good time!).
We host natural building and permaculture courses (including one in may and one in June of 2007). We are also welcoming of anyone who would like to come help out with our project during their time in Thailand.
