Gardening

To work outside in the sun and feel your hands in the dirt while coaxing a living thing to take root in your yard can be a very rewarding thing. I wish I had the time to really garden and create a living ecosystem for me to experiment with. Not that I want to act as a god but I love the balance that takes place when you bring in certain X factors that the plants react to. For instance thinking outside the box with an indoor houseplant one can use a c02 tank from a paintball gun and increase the c02 levels in your man made ecosystem giving you different colors and better overall plant growth. The more c02 a plant "eats" the more oxygen it emits which can in return purify the air for all to enjoy. Another thing I love is grafting or suturing a mature branch of lets say an orange tree or avocado tree to an immature one to make the plant produce more quickly. I could litterally sit and watch the grass grow as it were and if I could I would. To produce food and color for your family to enjoy is never a bad thing. Garden more. Its not just for retired folks but it will help you slow down in a very fast paced world. To me thats a nice thing.
