Key Daily Tips for Better Landscapes:

Mulch Adequately: Apply 3–4 inches of hardwood mulch to conserve moisture and suppress w**ds.

Water Deeply, Not Frequently: Encourage deep roots by watering thoroughly less often rather than shallow watering daily.

Create Natural Edges: Skip plastic edging and create a clean, natural edge between beds and turf for easier maintenance, suggest Facebook and The Family Handyman.

I breathe through my skin. When it rains, my tunnels flood, cutting off my air.

Every year, I process tons of soil per hectare—free of charge. The vermicompost I produce is so rich it can be worth over $500 per ton.

I can live up to five years. But on concrete and pavement, most of us die within minutes—our skin dries, and we suffocate.

One earthworm like me reshapes the soil in ways that microbes alone cannot. My castings contain up to seven times more nutrients than the surrounding earth, helping plants thrive.

Here’s the truth: I’m not trying to escape.

I’m suffocating. Gasping for air.

Heads up to the skies this evening for the pink full moon! Also referred to as the Paschal Moon, it really is the first full moon of spring. A bit of extra science – April's full moon is the smallest full moon of the year as it occurs in apogee (when the moon is farthest from Earth in its orbit). Look to the eastern horizon around sunset for the best views – here’s hoping for clear viewing tonight!

PSA - This is a honey bee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.

It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from w**d killer sprayed on what we see as w**ds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for w**ds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, w**ds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more w**ds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve.
