1. When choosing gardening plants consider only the ones they thrive in
the local environment here on the Outer Banks, temperature, watering and
soil conditions. Remember that we can’t force nature without turning
our negative actions back to us. For example we could plant an olive
tree to a high mountain like 1000meters above the sea level but we
should be prepared to find a dry- yellow dead tree after the winter
time. Yes we like the olive trees but do we really love them? Do we
really care for them?
2. Create home shelters for garden residents like beneficial predators,
soil worms, butterflies, spiders, birds and other living and loving
creatures in order to preserve the ecological balance like a pond or a
water container, bird nests, herbs and flowering plants they love.
3. Nature’s rule of great importance is balance. When we use chemicals
like fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides we destroy so many of our
ecosystem living friends. It’s a shame to ward off friends while at the
same time damaging hostile baddies get used to chemicals get stronger
and stronger!
4. We try to listen fondly to the unspoken desires of plants and care
for them. While being environmentally friendly we care and respect our
fellow people at the same time.
5. We accept the basic principle that the soil is a city full of life
and energy. It consists of inorganic materials, but it hosts living
creatures working for their city therefore for the plants like the
hardest working workers. Organic fertilizers and other plant protection
organic or bio products are made of the same natural essence like all
living organisms on earth whereas use of chemicals is a state totally
unfriendly and opposed to.
6. Let nature work in balance act only moderately within ecological
point of view and be sure nature knows better! No toxic treatments
acting on despair, apparently disastrous to planet life including
mankind.
7. Experiencing natural environment as self couldn’t lead elsewhere than unconditional love of ‘myself’.
