#NativeGardenDesign in #Australia: A 2026 Guide

How to design a native Australian garden the right way — climate zones, the 5 native garden styles, plant categories, common mistakes, and what it costs in 2026.

17 April 2026

Excerpt: "Why design native (the practical case)

- #WaterConsumption. A well-established native garden needs roughly 30-60% less supplemental water than an equivalent ornamental scheme. In #drought-restricted areas, this is the difference between a garden that survives summer and one that doesn't.
- Climate match. Indigenous species evolved with your specific climate. They handle your typical heatwaves, frost events, soil pH, and rainfall pattern without intervention.
- #Biodiversity. Indigenous plants support indigenous insects (which feed birds, lizards, small mammals), provide nectar for #NativeBees and #honeyeaters, and offer nesting habitat. A 12-month-old native garden is visibly more biologically active than a typical ornamental scheme.
- Lower input over time. Less feeding, less spraying, less ongoing intervention once established (typically 12-24 months).
- #Bushfire considerations. Some native species (low-flammability plants) are actively recommended in bushfire-prone areas; others (high-oil species) should be avoided or kept away from structures. Native ≠ automatically fire-safe; design matters."

Can anyboddy tell me what information there is on energy mix/consumption and water consumption at the two German AI Factories, #HammerHAI and #JUPITER ?

For HammerHAI, I could find a webpage "Sustainability & Environment" [1] of the #HLRS in Stuttgart who are managing the metal, and I will work through that in the next days.

Is there something comparable for the #JSC in Jülich (I understand that's who manages the physical infrastructure for JUPITER & Co, right?)

Tribune editorial: The voice of the people has pushed #Utah leaders to stop and think about massive #DataCenter. Keep it up.

This is an issue that has united people across the political spectrum.

By The Salt Lake Tribune Editorial Board
| May 22, 2026

"The fear that a ginormous, water-guzzling, air-befouling, weather-modifying data center planned for Utah’s northwest corner was a done deal seems to be easing just a bit. It’s not hard to see why.

A handful of key state officials are now promising that, before the project actually gets built — if it ever does — the appropriate environmental reviews, with opportunities for public comment, will happen.

"That doesn’t mean that the people who have stood up to what appeared to be a pre-greased mega-project can rest easy. Vigilance and activism are what have worked so far, and will be necessary going forward. As long and exhausting as that process might be.

"It will take a lot of continual public outcry to counterbalance the monied interests pouring campaign contributions into the coffers of Utah Senate President #StuartAdams and other powerful worthies who have been pushing the plan.

"Few Utahns had any inkling that a little-known state agency called the Military Installation Development Authority (#MIDA), which Adams chairs, had put its weight behind the #StratosProject, a proposed data center that would, at full build-out, generate and consume twice as much electricity as the whole state of Utah.

"The Box Elder County Commission had to sign off on the project before the MIDA board could take over all land-use, water, energy, environmental and tax-abatement authority over the 40,000-acre project — immune from any democratic oversight.

"Despite loud public objections, online and in person, commissioners did exactly that. Given that the land is privately owned, not part of any city and not zoned for any particular use, commissioners argued they really didn’t have the power to stop it.

"But others do."

Ett längre utlägg från Hank Green om hur vatten faktiskt används av AI-branschen och varför alla har fel. Det blir allt mer raljerande fram emot slutet, vilket känns symboliskt för att område som ger oss alla(på någon nivå) ångest. #AI #waterConsumption #HankGreen #VLogBrothers
