Default Makes Your Place Into a Real Garden of Eden

All these wonderful garden of Eden like qualities you can have from
understanding that the plant has TWO root systems if given the chance
in a natural growing environment.
One for feeding when the Sun shines and one for drinking almost pure
soil water 24/7.
For healthy pest free, fantastic tasting plants, you must NOT feed
plants through the soil water as 99.99% of our "experts" tell us.
(this mentality supports the huge fertilizer and chemical giants
wreaking havoc on our planet)
Plants must be fed naturally through humus of the plants free choice
in the soil.

I once saw an interesting TV program dealing with habitat improvement
and wildlife. I came a way with the notion of having a variety of
plants not only concerned with species but also height and forms or
shapes. So we have a small lawn mostly weeds and clover and some
surviving fescue surrounded by scrubs, small bushes, small tree's and
large trees. Add to the mix a variety of perennials and deciduous and
evergreen options and the palate has a niche for all sorts of critters.
We rot wood chips for humus and compose too. Not on the scale we did
years ago though. Starting to phase out scrubs and go with Japanese
Hollies.
