Unfortunately the water cycle is over, so there is no quantity of back burning that will resurrect it.

You are right about that @BigMike55 . We watched a documentary about land management just recently and they said the same.

They used to do that. Farmers used to keep the ditches clean. I remember the forest commission used to cut rows in the woods To prevent disaster. They don’t do it anymore here the forest commissioners pretty much nonexistent.

Our local fire department will still do controlled burns if it’s where they consider safe to do it when a land owner asks.

I believe Oklahoma City does this too.

This is a common method to stop a fire from expanding in a certain area or direction. But it has to be done correctly. Some fires will jump from tree to tree from the tops and with a stiff wind it can jump small spans. This method works great on many meadows and brushy areas. I have helped in control burns and can be very effective.

I decided to show you all my little experiment with my patch of mustard and collard greens.
There is a pretty thick layer of composting material about ten inches deep in this patch. It’s been generating heat from the process of breaking down. This warmth has kept my greens going so far but they have just now begun to wilt so they probably won’t go much longer.
I’m thinking about ways to expand the idea for next year.

I’ve never had a baby stem split like that.
It’s still standing straight though.
