It's the easy way. That doesn't make it lazy. That's just efficient.

For those in a hurry to get back to their gardens: <br><br>1) Mimic nature (leaf litter covering the soil)<br>2) Test your soil<br>3) Compost<br><br>Also, your local agricultural co-op will probably test your soil for free, just FYI!

My sentiments exactly. Neighbors say I have a weedy garden, but soil is covered, so many worms, birds, bees. And the garden feeds me all winter, including some "weeds".

My HOA hates me because I do things like I leaf mulch 😂<br>I used to collect leaves from my neighbor's yards but the problem is so many people around me use pesticides now 😩

Mother nature is the best teacher. I always think of nature, look at the trees, no one disturbed the soil and the trees are doing well!

I love the look, feel & smells of a natural garden. Some uptight “subdivision” type yard people get all fidgety around my yard - some love the feel but can help themselves and make theirs sterile and “perfect”. 🙄 I get it - because I can’t relax in their precise “perfect” places. 😁

My Granny used to take me out in the valley, dig up plants, and plant them in her beautiful garden. My mother used RoundUp around my garlic patch, which didn't grow ANYTHING for 10 years. Use compost! No more garbage cans! Throw leftovers in a pot and make tea! And don't forget Hügelkulture and electroculture! Best things ever. And don't trust the FDA~💚🌱🌾

I'm regularly resisting well-intended advice from friends and family to rake up, bag up, and dispose of every leaf and every weed on my property, and then till all the bare soil and then spend a bunch of money buying topsoil, fertilizer, and mulch for my gardens! Thank you for reinforcing and putting words to what I've been trying to do 😊

My friend didn't believe me when I told her there were no earthworms where I live. She had to look it up. After that, she was so shocked and stumped on how to help me revive my soil. In her mind, earthworms are key and you can't make topsoil without them.<br><br>I have discovered that we need water, water seeping INTO the ground and not running over, and nitrogen. You can lay all the compost and mulch on the ground that you want and it'll just dry out and sit there for years if you can't get water IN and some nitrogen to break it all down.<br><br>The desert can be frustrating, but it can be done. Even here. I'm having great luck with the most insane diversity of desert grasses and wildflower seeds that I could come up with. More than 30 native species so far and they're starting to make serious progress in only two years.

It’s just what nature does’…. So true. <br>A truck load of wood chip and leaf littler turned the cement and dust of my place into the best place I’ve ever grown on. 4, years is how long it took me too. <br>Well done 👍🏻
