I only know stinging nettle, we don't have poison ivy, only normal ivy (I know they're not related (and normal ivy is poisonous too)) and I heard poison ivy should be worse.
Does anyone have experience with both?
I often heard it should be a good vegetable but I'm hesitating and a bit sceptical because it really does not look tasty.
Is it really that good, if yes how is it best prepared? Or is it not worth the effort?
I heard and read whales are important for pumping nutrients from the deep water to the surface and to distribute them on their migration. People say because of this they're essential for the eco system. But there are way less whales than in the past.
Wouldn't that mean it must already be having serious consequences for the ecosystem? Or are there still enough whales for that? Or are they just one factor in the distribution of nutrients, one that stabilizes the system but without which it wouldn't collapse?
