Numerous texts on creating rain gardens list the various aspects of a rain garden which allow rain to soak back into the earth, rather than run off or evaporate. By preserving water in the earth, we are able to preserve entire landscapes and build whole new eco environments.
First, there is the layer of groundcover. This layer separates the soil from everything above it. It also protects the soil from being blown away or washed away. It prevents soil erosion. It also holds roots in place which make immediate use of the first rainfall.
Second, there is the layer of bushes. These shade the ground and provide deeper root systems which make use of the water which is by now soaking mostly into the soil. Bushes also help shape land curvatures over time, and so are very important when maintaining soil and hillsides and so on.
Third, we have the layer of trees. This layer does something quite special. The roots go the deepest into the ground and create cracks in the earth’s crust, very deep, in which water can gradually seep and form water deposit deep beneath the earth. Trees also provide more protection against the wind and rain, not to mention sponsoring many plant and animal eco systems.
Fourth, we have the layer of vines, which can run all over the ground, over the bushes, and up into the trees. Vines have a stabilizing effect upon the earth, and bring an added dimension to the three layers of vegetation which have been planted first.

If you live off the grid or take it into your sweet little head to do so in the future, then you need to make sure that you understand the kind of responsibility this lifestyle is going to require from you. You will need to grow your own food, so you will need a dust suppressor until your plants take root.

When people look at someone who is trim, they may think that the person was just born naturally skinny or with a high metabolism. What is trim condition and how can you apply that principle to your business? The answer lies in how lean your company is. Yes, yes, you figured that out, but what does lean mean? Well, it means how flexible your company is in fulfilling customer or client needs at the drop of a hat or when it comes to custom ordering or servicing. It means not tying up resources in ventures or projects which will yield extremely low results. It means not having a lot of excess anything, including people, machinery, products, equipment or materials. It means that your company can flourish just fine through a mild economic depression and actually survive in a harsh one.
Laughter is one of the best sources of healing in the world. Of course, laughter can be sarcastic, and that is aggressive, but most laughter is just plain, happy fun. What can you do to bring this kind of energy into an eco friendly movement? You see, by using fear to sell your doom and gloom end of the earth philosophy, people will be far less motivated to help you than if you used laughter, fun, and safety to spread the word.
Knowledge is precious. It gives us everything we need to interact with the world around us. That is, except for those people skills which we may or may not be naturally efficient in using. No amount of knowledge can make up for a lack of those essential qualities. The requirements for running an effectively eco friendly business including, but are not limited to, leadership, work ethics, planning, strategy, foundation building, sympathy and heart, discernment, and experience.
When you are looking to accomplish a great deal in the green nature of your business, you must come up with a system which can be repeated over and over again, and produce high quality results. For this system to work, it must be easy, simple, and highly repeatable.
Let’s count the many times in which you may have attempted to make your business more eco friendly. Putting more insulation in the walls involved a greater cost than your company could afford. Installing more efficient heating and cooling systems was way overpriced. Going completely green in a cost-effective way involved all of your employees riding donkeys to work. That wouldn’t do, either.
If you invest in MFTA life insurance, then you will notice that for the first few years, you are merely funding the investment, but that it will not be growing for some time afterward. Then, when it is fully funded and allowed to take off, your investment will begin coming right back to you over the long run. This is because long term planning and understanding of the market economy helps people to not be afraid of fluctuations in businesses and the stock market, but to look in the far distance, out where fluctuations are barely perceptible in the long run.
Have you ever planted a new colored flower in your garden? Do you remember how different it made the whole garden look? Of course, environmentalists are trying to make the planet a better place, but many of us have not been alive long enough to remember what the planet really looked like in the early 1900’s. For that reason, we may know what we are fighting for, but we may really not understand what the end result is meant to look like.
We are constantly admonished to eat plenty of fresh meats, fruits and vegetables. Of course, we think this is just because of the basic nutritional value they have already. However, the reality is that they also pick minerals from the earth that we would not ordinarily have. This is especially true for meat, because unless you pick your vegetables directly from the earth, they will not contain that much soil and therefore they won’t contain that many minerals. However, cows and pigs and chickens pick up plenty of minerals from the soil when they feed on their grass and seeds. That is how minerals are so high in beef and how we get minerals in our daily diets without having to go out and buy them for ourselves in pill form.
If you have ever taken a course in nutrition, you will have learned that you need vitamins which come from fruits and vegetables, and you also need minerals. Now, some people eat meat, and they get their minerals from the meat, since the edible animal has eaten dirt with their grass and therefore ingested minerals.
Luxury items do something for the soul. Really, all forms of luxury living, from home to maid service to where we dine has to do with what is good for the soul. Luxury does not mean getting fat and pompous and stuffed on gluttony for the rest of your life. It means staying lean and trim due to the ultra high quality food and lifestyle you have created for yourself.
Experience teaches us many things. What will you do when you must perform a task with which you have zero or almost zero experience? Of course, you may ask other people what they do. You may research the subject online or in your local library. You may become very involved with how other people do this task, watching what they do and even practicing it yourself with their supervision.
Often, gardeners wish to deter deer, not encourage them. Deer can eat a gardener’s food and flowers, trample all over the earth, and can cause some damage to trees. To deter deer, businesses and homeowners often plant deer-resistant plants and trees, rather than trying to encourage the deer. Often, even though people like to watch deer or hunt them, they prefer to be able to eat their own homegrown food, rather than the deer eating them.
