Devore, is about farmers who have resulted in using what they see on their own farm and to observe changes to decide what is best rather than jumping to conclusions and possibly trying to use the newest silver-bullet fix. Many different things approaches were used in the chapter. David Podoll keeps track of the weeds near his farm.

In the beginning, Roethke paints a dark, vivid picture of the cellar in which the plants are in describing it as “dank as a ditch”(Roethke 1) and having “leaf-mold, manure, lime, piled against slippery planks”(Roethke 9).
