Growing your own garden is always a treat. I would like to share a gardening tip. Experts recommend the Back to Eden permaculture technique as an eco-friendly, cost-effective way to grow abundant, organic food with minimal effort and water. Start by spreading an 8-centimeter (3-inch) layer of compost or an alternative like 15 centimeters (6 inches) of grass clippings, hay, or straw over the soil. Cover it with 15 centimeters (6 inches) of wood chip mulch, which will suppress weeds, retain moisture, and gradually break down into microbe-rich soil that nourishes your plants. To plant, dig a trench in the mulch, sow seeds at the soil level, and gently pull the mulch back after sprouting. This no-till approach eliminates the need for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides while supporting a thriving ecosystem. Enjoy bountiful high-quality harvests while building healthy soil season after season.
The joke of the day is all prepared to jump out of the amusement box. And here it comes! It’s entitled “Running Slow.”
A man walked into a very crowded and busy cafe and caught the eye of a frazzled waiter.
“You know, it’s been 10 years since I came in here.”
The waiter snapped.
“Don’t blame me, sir! I’m working as fast as I can!”
?!
