Hello CPW1,
it seems to me you really believe the brainwashing of all religions that Life is not meant to be easy. That's your choice of course.
But do you know that, if you compost all of your kitchen scraps plus any kind of manure and add it to the soil, you do not have all those stresses and bugs. The plants grow pretty strongly. And if you add purified water through a very good filter to remove chlorine and fluoride and all other pesticides.
I have moved here in Tasmania only recently. I live in a 3 brm. cottage with a small very rocky garden as this is the area for it. To grow a few organic vegetables I had to cut in half an old water tank, remove the bottom and top and fill up the two vats with soil. Now I did order a particular soil, rich in manure, but that is not what was delivered. So I had to add lots of manure and I planted tomatoes in one vat and silver beets and lettuce in the other vat. Plus radishes.
Even starting with the wrong soil, but adding manure, all I needed to do was to water them when it did not rain. You cannot imagine how much I am harvesting: I am supplying three families with these vegetables (growing into such a small area) and you can't imagine the quantity of tomatoes in those plants. I still have dozens and dozens growing, I have given tomatoes to friends and already made at least 15 jars of tomatoes sauce to last me the entire year.
So, it is up to you whether you like to believe that life was meant to be hard. I do not believe it, I do not buy into it.
Take care, my friend,
Starchild
