Sure, there are many gardeners scuffling around in the clogs, cursing those pesky dandelions (actually a highly medicinal plant) and that crabgrass blemishing their flower beds. They offer theories as to how to prevent them, when to get rid of them and, at the weakest and worst moments, may even spray a little agent orange, aka Roundup, to kill them dead, dead, dead. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, with a little effort and a good plan, weeds and gardeners can live in harmony. That’s right. Step 1: More Garden, Less Grass The first and most exciting step of making your yard work for you is getting rid of the grass and making a garden (Here are ten reasons to do it!).

The ultimate goal for maximizing your yard would be to have every square foot of it that isn’t a path be a garden bed. Step 2: Weed With a Purpose Step 3: Use What You’ve Got — All of It Step 4: Learn the Lay of the Land Study your yard to figure out how it works. Liam Heneghan – On the balance of nature. One day this summer my younger son Oisín and I strayed from a heavily wooded trail on the Muckross peninsula in Ireland’s Killarney National Park and entered a narrow limestone cave. The entrance was fringed with vegetation, a pelt of moss on the rock, tendrils of tree roots exposed, so that entering that cave felt like climbing into the bearded mouth of a living thing.

We paused a moment in the gloam just as I had done 30 years before, when I visited for the first and only other time. Then we began a shallow descent into a throat of absolute darkness. When I first slipped into this cave all those years ago, I was claustrophobic and the pressing of our small group of youthful conservation volunteers panicked me. For this is indeed a landscape like few others. The stability of this ancient yew woodland, capable of rebuffing storms, insect outbreaks and other moderate disturbances, embodies an original tenet of ecology going back to the late 19th century.
