Re: AND water!
There is a lot of gardening you can do from an armchair :)
Another great point about water, that is something in Australia, that half the country is under, at the moment, and the other half, (where I live), is desperate for.
Water is something we grow up, being taught to preserve and care for. Without water, there is no life.
I feel for you, with your awful neighbour. I have what many people would think of as a very untidy garden, but looks aren't everything, and I can feed my family from my back garden. My untidy garden also is a home for many birds, (they love the protection of all the trees and shrubs), and is full of worms and insects.
Thank you so much, for passing your information to others, and your advice. Knowledge shared is a beautiful thing. I love your optimism, and share your optimism, we will make it, we will find answers, and we will help our planet, and ourselves, back to health :)
