Wood's not natural mulch for a woodland garden. Do you see forest trees shatter into a zillion pieces and fall? No. They fall, then decompose, then spread.

Gardeners do first, read later. Why not? Plants are very gracious in accepting an apology.

If a bush is too big, don't ask "should I?" Go ahead and cut it. If it lives, great. If it dies, replace it with something better suited!

The best gardener is a baby killer. Baby insects are much easier to kill than adults, and haven't yet developed the big mouths and voracious appetite of the adolescent.

There's no "right way" to garden, only what suits each person and place.

Don't design your back yard from the outside looking in. Design from your window looking out.
