Hydroponics

This will be a blog post entry about hydroponics and testing out two different brands of hydroponics plugs. Last Sep I bought this 3-tier hydroponics system, and now is the time to run a little experiment as to which seed starting plugs is going to be best when it comes to price, and performance.

Place To Touch Grass: The Healing Power of Nature

In today's fast-paced world, the importance of slowing down and reconnecting with nature has never been more critical. The simple act of stepping outside, feeling the grass under your feet, and breathing in the fresh air can have a profound impact on our well-being. As the saying goes, "Just get out and touch grass." This phrase is more than just a call to disconnect from our screens; it's an invitation to tap into the healing power of the natural world.

Recent studies have shown that microbes in the soil act as natural antidepressants. These tiny organisms can boost our mood and reduce anxiety, providing a natural form of stress relief. But the benefits of spending time in nature extend beyond this. The act of gardening itself, with its gentle, repetitive tasks, can be a form of meditation, bringing a sense of calm and peace to our day.

Immersing ourselves in the rhythm of nature can help us live more mindfully and healthily. It allows us to step back from the pressures of modern life and reconnect with the cycles of the natural world. Whether it's the gentle growth of plants from seed to bloom or the changing of the seasons, these natural processes can remind us of the beauty of life's rhythms and cycles.

Here on this gardening blog, I aim to share my journey of discovery in the world of gardening. I'll provide various tips and tricks I've learned, discuss what works and what doesn't, and document my daily journey towards a more mindful and healthy lifestyle. I'll also share some related products that I'm testing, offering insights into what I find most effective and why. So join me as we explore the healing power of nature together, one garden at a time.
