The Regenerative Garden: 80 Practical Projects For Creating A Self-Sustaining Garden Ecosystem

Good info

Overall, this is well written. There are a few things that I feel should be included. To check the water level of the glued together Ola, one should have a wooden dowel or dry stick that can be inserted into the hole to check the water depth. Living in a very wet NW, I would sink these into the soil before planting as adding later would definitely cause issues. Personally, I prefer the simpler one with one pot covered with the glazed saucer. I wish that I could find 6" unglazed clay pipes and use them as using a post hole digger would make it easy to install. I also thought that the espalliered tree in front of the stairs was cute, but then wondered how to remove those things stored behind it. I loved the idea of using fish to curb mosquitoes, some acquired from local sources rather than a pet store has been my go to each year. There seems to be some critters that like to eat them so something floating on the surface to keep them hidden is a good idea. About the PVC in the pot for Deep Watering Tube for Container Gardens, I would carefully remove the tube and release the castings at least twice a year because even if one keeps adding the scraps, it will eventually plug up. Then replace it in the same hole right away before the sides cave in and the worms that have migrated out of the tube will head back in. Actually, this idea could be emplemented throughout a smaller home garden. Or, one could do what I learned from my Grandma, just collect scraps and dig them in around your garden. I know that this seems like a lot, but overall - great and simple instruction for those wanting to try something new and doable. My book will now go to my daughter.

Prototype review

Told Young Autistic Client who wants me to install just such a garden for her that this is a good starting point, but will require YEARS of effort to get even half of the 80 projects done. Disabled ex-cop needs all the exercise he can tolerate for rehab. Looks like I'm going to get it. Garden gets easy LATER.
