Miyano spends only about a day each week maintaining his yard and relies almost exclusively on natural rainfall for watering. Plant only things that grow well in your garden without much care. Don't be afraid to move a plant to find the best location, and if it doesn't work out, get rid of it.>> Keep chemicals out. Pesticides and herbicides aren't good for plants, birds or butterflies in the garden. Ultimately, the chemicals harm humans, too. Take care of pests and weeds as soon as they appear. Set up a quarantine area for new plants to make sure slugs and other pests are removed before planting them in the garden. Use compost and manure as fertilizers.>> Incorporate many different kinds of plants. Think of the garden as a community of living things. Diversity creates a more natural-looking garden and helps keep pests under control. Too many of one type of plant may encourage proliferation of pests associated with it.>> Take it slow. It's better to work on one small area at a time than to clear the entire yard, because barren earth encourages weeds. Working slowly also allows you to better observe the garden and make appropriate adjustments without having to undo everything.>> Let the garden be your teacher. Pay attention to how the plants grow in your garden. Don't just rely on books and common wisdom. Every garden and every gardener is different.http://archives.starbulletin.com/2001/06/01/features/story2.html ]]> Natural gardening according to Leland Miyano:>> Don't be a slave to your garden.
