Plotting a future...away from the Mafia

Tweet

When we moved to our rental, oh so many years ago, I was looking forward to starting a garden. I wanted plenty of home-grown veggies that I could harvest and can in preparation for the upcoming zombie apocalypse. You know how it is. And then the local Feral Cat Mafia came and put the smack-down on our dreams. They dug up our strawberries and thwarted every effort we made at self-sustainability. They spat in our faces, reminding us that we'd invaded THEIR turf. We were driven out of the gardening business. Permanently. We hold onto the hope that, one day, we'll move out from under the syndicate's paws. However, until that glorious day of freedom arrives, I've been scheming and plotting for our future vegetable garden. And I've decided to go with Paul Gautschi's "Back to Eden" method. First of all, if you haven't heard about Back to Eden gardening, I'd encourage you to watch the free documentary that's online. It's a bit long but it's pretty amazing. So just trust me and do it. And, (b), I think this method could not only work for backyard gardens, but it could solve some of the problems in the U.S. where drought has become an issue. Because, as you'll see in the video, it takes very little water to keep this type of garden thriving!! Now I just need to replace my black thumb with a green one, get us away from the Cat Gangsta's, and pray that the zombie takeover waits until I've got a garden flourishing. I have a feeling it's going to be a long wait. Has anyone out there used the Back to Eden gardening method? Did it work for you? And for those that suffer with a black thumb...can a person grow out of that? (pun intended! Oh, yeah!)
