In our county, farmers are required to grow their crops without tilling the earth. Tilling the earth contributes the run-off of nutrients, herbicides and insecticides that make way to the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay is in a terrible mess ecologically. Years ago it was a fertile and abundant source of some of the world's greatest seafood. Now it is a very sick and nearly barren giant ditch. Anyone who lives in the six state watershed of the Bay has a responsibility to help the Bay get healthy again. That is why I am experimenting with no-till and organic gardening methods. Our little slice of heaven on earth slopes down to a stream that feeds into a small river called Poropotank that feeds into the York River that feeds into the mighty Chesapeake Bay - the largest estuary in the U.S.A.
I want the Bay to be healthy again, I want to walk along the shore and see oysters in the sand again, I want the blue crab to be abundant again, and I want the pelicans to be a common sight on our river shores again.
Weebug's Garden
The earth - dirt - soil - land - the foundation of plant life - the best stuff in the world! Responsible gardening is an absolute must, especially in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Weebug's Garden is a never ending experiment in being kind to the Earth while serving my family's basic needs of food, water and shelter.
