Yard Work

I have an acre yard that went from barren soil with nothing but weeds when we 1st bought it to thick lush weed-free lawns and flower beds in 6yrs. All w/o any kind of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides. I'm a strictly organic gardener. I have numerous flower beds on 2 sides of my house, strawberry garden on 1/2 of the third side. Lilies/hostas around all my trees in the front and side yards, wild black raspberry bed along the edge of my property where the woods are, and a garden next to my shed starting this year. Had a garden farther out back but it would always flood at some point during the year, ruining it. Half my property is in a flood zone with a creek running along the back of it so can't/won't even try to plant anything other than trees out back. Think my passion is a lil in excess? lol I love tuning in with nature and destressing out in my yard in the morning and late afternoon/early evening.

I like yard work to a point..I love gardening..but pruning and mowing the lawn? nope not at all... Oh wait..I don't have a lawn anymore...just dirt and pine trees...cool!

I am a city dweller and it takes 40 to 50 kms to find a nice place. I plan to take one and grow organic vegetables.

I started with my yard this year. It is nice to see the yard looking pretty. I havent got to the part where I can show off to others but when I see my seeds come out and growing, I am very happy.
