A lot of the old site was dedicated to battles with pests, and organic ways to confront them. It made for funny stories, but I began to realize, after reading Mort Mather , that the pest infestations were a sign that what I was trying to grow was either in the wrong place, or it didn't have healthy soil. As my soil got better, so did the health of my plants. Toward the end, things were very healthy, except the peach tree, which I finally gave up on. I had to walk away from the old place.
Life goes on.
Forget your enemies. Help your friends. Improve the tilth of your life.
