22. We have a lot of trouble with nematodes and other things around here.

So, the container gardening is much better. You can control what goes into your compost in one container, then use it in another container once it is broke down to grow things in it.

Plus, something great I discovered has to do with the bees and wasps. They used to sting me a lot. So, I didn't like dealing with them. One day, I got tired of cleaning the little plastic flower decorations on the hummingbird feeder and took them off. It made it so the wasps and bees can get to the nectar. Now they land on my hand while I'm filling it and don't sting me any more. So, just by accident I was able to be around them even though I used to swell up bad when they stung me. It helps to have them around the garden or anywhere where you are growing anything.
