I would not recommend for people to casually start trimming plantlife in the wild. /s
Unironically though there might be lots of insects living within that ecosystem that rely on it. If you don't need something for a dish or specific resource, just leave it alone.
I don't want an ecosystem in my bush

Americans really do label things like cave men just saying the most simple words to describe something:
- Eggplant > looks like an egg and is a plant

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Parkway was a road that went near park or other scenic spot. Drive ways were drives that connected private estates to a main road. Way back in the day those could actually be long enough the main house was not visible from the main road.
