love for the bugs

it is difficult to get your soil outdoors to produce natural foods without insects and mites and worms and grubs, all the fascinating life forms we used to say 'Yuk!' at when we were kids digging in the dirt with sticks. To help the earth nourish your little garden plants, your tomatoes and okra and raspberries and peas, it makes good sense to be hospitable to the critters that support the plants and their roots and pollination. Water and compost (especially including gooey eggshells and fungal mushrooms and active yogurt and moldy breads decomposing into the dirt) can help say 'Welcome!' to life.
