Scratch your lawn, garden or field surface to sketch your own future with small plants, reptiles and animals to sustain natural life in a more balanced, productive and diversified way. Enliven your world. Think and act to renaturalize your homestead and community.
Wuhlax asks gardeners that they think of new ways that they can further renaturalize your surroundings. You, yourself can think. Do I really need to support as much lawn? Perhaps, in its place I could create a canopy for wild life by planting a hardwood tree that would actually produce food or provide shelter.
Wuhlax ask farmers to discover and let others know what their soil is capable of sustaining without fertilizer? Can your farm reduce it's dependence on energy by self sustaining practices. Does your farm really need a ploughed field? Are there hedge rows that can be nutured for diversity?
Wuhlax asks everyone whether there are there enough small wild birds and creatures nearby that feed on the flying insects and mosquitoes that bother you? Give your surroundings a chance to rebalance naturally and at the same time help your own health through love of your living spaces. Can you grow food plants, protect the tiny lizard under a log or stone? In what ways can you recapture the strength of the soil around you to feed your natural community. Perhaps, you would share your findings with us here at Scratches to Sketches!
If you can diversify your landscape for perennials and life that is self sustaining, perhaps you have ideas that you would like to share. If so, I have a gmail address that starts with wuhlax! Or, you can twitter me at @renaturetek.
