Here’s why I use only organic gardening methods… 🐝 Chemical pesticides harm ALL the bugs, including the beneficial ones like bees and ladybugs. This can harm your garden in the long run. 🪴 Chemical sprays can strip the soil of essential nutrients and disrupt the natural microbial activity, compromising the overall health and fertility of your garden soil. 🪲 Over time, pests can develop resistance to chemical pesticides, leading to the need for stronger, potentially more harmful chemicals. It’s a never-ending cycle that isn’t sustainable for the long-term health of your garden. ☠️ Exposure to chemical pesticides has been linked to various health issues in humans. Do your own research on this one. There’s tons of info online! Whats your thought on this… Is pesticide a big deal for you? Do you follow organic gardening methods? I’d love to hear your thoughts either way.

Who else is questioning the productivity narrative they grew up with? What do you think of this guru's ideas? I've heard (and said) that my best work comes under pressure.... but what if that isn't my best work? What if joy and love can unlock potential I never realized I have? What if we didn't all have to grind it out in unfulfilling jobs believing working hard is the prerequisite to being able to live our dream lives? This past year, learning to homestead and mother has been the hardest work of my life. But those aren't the words I would use to describe it first. Happy. Fulfilling. Inspiring. Motivated. Wild. Incredible. All those come to mind first, followed by the absolute fact that it is an exertion of effort. That isn't and perhaps shouldn't be the focus. As if we have to work "hard" to be worthy or to prove we aren't lazy. Ease is okay. Love and joy give us the energy we need. 🤔 #homestead #farmlife #philosophy #grind #hardwork #joy #love #happiness
