Your hard work can make nature redundant…
Imagine a car on a road on a hill about to go down, it free-wheels down and builds momentum, reaches the bottom and starts to ascend the next hill with it’s momentum. However this car has no engine and shortly loses it’s speed.
So you start to push the car up the next hill hopefully with help from your friends in order to climb and through a momentus effort you make it to the start of the next hill. Then start again.
Imagine a garden the same way, by missing out key components you only have momentum from your effort and not a powered capability. So by using an engine which could be symbolised as I.M.O. (microbes) we can drive the car rather than push it. Maybe we need to refil the car (or charge) and generally manage the machine but this is managing not labouring.
The momentus effort to push a car up a hill is like a seasonal cultivation in order to break up the weathered, compacted ground or by refertilising and removing weeds. By putting the effort into the initial garden build you can put that engine into the garden and cruise around town.
This is done through no-dig and I.M.O. methods focusing on the real reason why plants grow and the real food content that we need to be healthy without the pain and heartbreak to do so.
