RoofGardener Posted January 2, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2020 For some reason all of the book adverts at the bottom of the page are for Climate Change books ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflygirl1 Posted January 2, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'm amazed at the density of the tumbleweeds, I wonder if anything specific caused such a large number? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. A high wind and a long fetch distance. I have seen them bury a house. Windbreaks make great tumbleweed catchers. No. This doesn't have anything to do with global warming.
