1) Lasagna gardening is a no-dig method that layers organic materials like leaves, compost, and yard waste to create a nutrient-rich soil for planting.
2) Leaves make a good mulch layer that will break down into rich soil by spring. Newspaper layers can prevent weeds while grass clippings and yard waste provide nutrients without needing yard waste stickers.
3) The document provides tips on building lasagna gardens including soaking newspaper ahead of time, using cardboard as an alternative, and placing a top newspaper layer for extra weed protection.Ag 467

America's waste disposal sites are filling up due to increasing waste production. Twenty percent of landfill waste is yard waste such as leaves and grass clippings. Many states are banning yard waste from landfills. Composting yard waste is one way to solve waste disposal problems by recycling organic materials into compost that improves soil properties and plant growth. Proper composting requires adequate aeration, moisture, particle size, and nutrients. Various structures like bins can be used to contain compost piles and aid the composting process.zHome Signs 2

Rain gardens are designed gardens or plantings that help capture and clean storm water runoff from surfaces like rooftops, driveways, and lawns. They prevent soil erosion and reduce pollutants entering waterways. A typical rain garden has different planting zones suited to different soil moisture levels, with the lowest area planted with wetland plants and the outer edge planted with drought-tolerant species. Rain gardens are an effective way to manage storm water naturally, like forests do, by slowing and filtering runoff through plants and soil. Homeowners and communities are increasingly using rain gardens to protect watersheds and meet regulations on storm water discharge.Harris County Vegetable Gardening Guide

A rain garden is a shallow depression planted with native plants that captures and filters rainwater runoff. It reduces flooding, provides habitat, and requires little watering once established. To create a rain garden, choose a site that receives runoff, mark its outline, dig a basin, amend soil if needed, and plant a diversity of native species suited to the site. Ongoing maintenance is minimal after establishment.River Basin Center: Rain Gardens

- Proper planning and choosing suitable plants are important for a waterwise garden. Group plants with similar water needs together.
- Improving soil quality through mulching and organic fertilizers helps the garden retain moisture better. Mulch should be 150mm deep and kept away from plant bases.
- The best time to water gardens is early morning to reduce evaporation. Lawns are large water users so consider reducing lawn areas.Prairier Rivers Network: Rain Gardens for Illinois

What if feeling bettermore focused, energized, or calmdidnt require a major lifestyle change just a few small tweaks?
Thats the power of biohacking.
Its not about doing extreme things or chasing perfection.
Its about making small, intentional shifts to your habits, environment, and mindset so your biology supports younot the other way around.
Tired in the afternoon? Try water and light movement instead of another coffee.
Trouble sleeping? Cut screens an hour before bed and dim the lights.
Constantly stressed? A few deep breaths or a quick nature break can shift everything.
These are micro-adjustments with macro impact.
And as someone who believes in empowerment through rewiring, I see biohacking as one of the most practical ways to feel more in charge of how you show upmentally, physically, and emotionally.
You dont need to do everything. Just start small.

The Anxious Generation Summary & Review油
What Is The Anxious Generation About?
The Anxious Generation explores how rapid digital transformation has profoundly impacted children's development, leading to a surge in anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. In his compelling new work, Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at NYU, argues that smartphones and social media are the primary culprits in what he calls "The Great Rewiring of Childhood."
By dissecting recent behavioral trends, neuroscience research, and social dynamics, Haidt reveals a generation overwhelmed by connectivity and stripped of physical, emotional, and spiritual development. If youre a parent, educator, policymaker, or concerned citizen, this book provides the answers you need to understand and counter this crisis.
Quick Summary
Youth mental health is declining due to digital overexposure.
Jonathan Haidt reveals four foundational harms: social/sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, addiction.
Girls suffer more from social media than boys.
Boys retreat into video games, losing developmental milestones.
Parents, schools, and governments must act now.Ad
