Nolee embracing shou sugi ban, an environmentally-friendly technique to prepare and preserve cedar! These lovely planks were used in an installation this week.

Shou sugi ban originated in Japan primarily as way to treat cedar siding to make it weatherproof. The technique involves charring a wood surface to render it a deep charcoal-black, cooling it, cleaning it, and finishing it with a natural oil.

The charring can improve the lifetime of the wood by preventing decay and rot. It also discourages insect infestation, improves dimensional stability, and improves flame retardant properties. Since the cellulose of the wood contains sugars desirable to insects, bacteria, and fungus, once the planks are heat-treated, the shou sugi ban wood loses its appeal to these detrimental forces and will therefore last longer than untreated wood.

Happy national pollinator week!

How we treat our lawns really matters to pollinators. There are a few simple steps we can take in order to create habitats for pollinators to flourish.

1) No pesticides! Pesticides are toxic to pollinators and eliminate potential food sources that are important to them.

2) Let clover grow wild! Clover, dandelion, chickweed, henbit, and other so-called “weeds” provide great food for pollinators! Plus, these plants provide beauty, food, and medicine for humans.

3) Compost tea is a great alternative amendment for lawns that help the plants grow without using poisonous chemicals. This clients yard is sprayed with @livingrootscomposttea ...they offer full service application for lawns, gardens, and landscapes.
