Here are the location and content notes for "An Unconditional Acceptance of Life."
"Of course there is no formula for success, except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life, and what it brings."
-- Arthur Rubinstein
In San Diego, February is the wettest month. March is drier, allowing more sunny days to work but still raining enough to water new plants.
See a planting calendar for gardening in San Diego.
Spring is the busiest time for pool building in San Diego.
San Diego County has many types of habitats, including a lot of dryland territory. Climate change is making the area hotter and drier.
Xeriscaping offers many ways to conserve water, especially with permaculture methods of water management.
See examples of a rock garden with patio, succulent lawn, wildlife garden with native plants, permaculture meditation garden, and permaculture food forest. A small container water garden minimizes water loss.
A swimming pool oasis and large wildlife pond, both with waterfall features, constitute a profligate waste of water.
This beautiful wildflower meadow with dry wash has an incongruous waterfall feature.
Use a checklist to site water features. Remember that water likes low areas.
You can make your own fertilizer with organic ingredients, even some from your kitchen. The wagon holds three large sections of major ingredients along with smaller amounts of many minor ones.
Llama and alpaca manures, also called “beans,” are the same in terms of nutrients and benefits, with an NPK of 1.7-0.7-1.2. These manures are “cool” and can be used fresh on all but the most tender of plants.
