Natural Fertilizer
Biological. In many soils, earthworms play a major role in converting large pieces of organic matter (e.g. dead leaves) into rich humus, and thus improving soil fertility. This is achieved by the worm's actions of pulling down below any organic matter deposited on the dried dirt, such as leaf fall or manure, either for food or when it needs to plug its burrow. Once in the burrow, the worm will shred the leaf and partially digest it, then mingle it with the earth by saturating it with intestinal secretions. Worm casts (see below) can contain 40% more humus than the top 6" of soil in which the worm is living
Chemical. As well as dead organic matter, the earthworm also ingests any other soil particles that are small enough—including stones up to 1/20 of an inch (1.25mm) across—into its gizzard wherein minute fragments of grit grind everything into a fine paste which is then digested in the stomach. When the worm excretes this in the form of casts which are deposited on the surface or deeper in the soil, minerals and plant nutrients are made available in an accessible form. Investigations in the US show that fresh earthworm casts are 5 times richer in available nitrogen, 7 times richer in available phosphates and 11 times richer in available potash than the surrounding upper 6 inches (150 mm) of soil. In conditions where there is plenty of available humus, the weight of casts produced may be greater than 4.5 kg (10 lb) per worm per year, in itself an indicator of why it pays the gardener or farmer to keep worm populations high.

Flower-Flower Everywhere
The garden of the heart will never go away from our live. It's human destiny to live and stay in the place with beautiful and attractive paradise. Place full of flower and butterfly. Place where we can see the different between red and blue and green in beautiful way. Place when we first time feeling love and seduced with
the smell of beautiful flower and the colour of life.
In the garden where the water meet the plant, there is something that's we couldn't understand. Just go there and proof yourself. You will now what I talking about right now.
In the garden where the flowers everywhere, when the water fountain create a voice of God in nature way, where t
he bird sang a song of praise, and where the ugly caterpillar turning to a beautiful butterfly with a beautiful wing.
It's the garden. Where we can find the miracle of real life. Not the human but the living thing that couldn't talk, angry or say a bad words in the name of true or freedom.

Freshly Garden
Water fountain and pond in the garden will give a new dimension to our house. We no need a big space to have a freshly and beautiful garden. Its just need our ability to arrange and manage the position of the plant and the water. I guess if you believe in Feng Shui, it will better if you check with your feng shui master.
You also can plant flowering plant to make your garde
n or back yard so colourful and bright. There are a lot choice of flower you can pick like daisy, chrisanth, herbras, sun flowers. The green leave flower also will look beautiful if mix if flowering plant. Doesn't matter what type of green leave plant. Anything will do and give specific feeling to your garden.

GARDENING

It's free, fun and healthy.... but dirty.
But most important is the feeling when you touch the soil, throw the seed on top it and when the tiny seed grow to be a plant... small creature that suddenly pop up from no where...
Wow... the feeling is Unbelieveable.
Gardening is hard working. Yes it is.
You will wet with sweat, smelly...and blacky..if too long stay under the sun withou the sunblock. But it's also happy, smiley and fantastic when when see how beautiful our back yard or side yard becaus of our own hand work.
No need to call a landscaping or something like that...
we just need to pull up our sleeve and start digging
