Everybody who can should have a garden... it puts one in touch with the natural living world. Gardening is not a competition, but if it can be turned into one to help get a greater yield, then do it.

can't go to sleep without a little bone Man Robertson Gardening wisdom

That's right... what was that idea i had...


Gardening is not a competition... but if it can be turned into one, then perhaps, one might be able to spur on greater yield.

What you have to remember with this line of logic is that if it becomes a competition that you don't resort to damaging other peoples plants in an effort to win by default. Think of yourself in in that lineup after a greatly contested hockey game shaking hands with your opponent... win or lose you thank them for playing hard and thus bringing out the best in yourselves as a team. In a game you need good opposition, but fair play is the kinship of sportsmanship. Does that even make sense? Jesus fucking christ i'm trying to write a serious blogaroo and my own lack of English understanding has gotten in the way of of a fine point.

When i was in University, one could say that my maturity level was not up to snuff, but we had some good times for sure. But the one rule in the house was that always the gold standard was to not to fuck with peoples beds. Perhaps you passed out in the living room and as a result you got your head shaved and a tube of a535 wiped on your groin but when you recovered from that, you had your bed that was guaranteed to be free from fuckery. That's the way men roll, most of life is lived to set up the next practical joke, and the other part of life is to relive those practical jokes.

But as a Man i have to say... don't fuck with peoples gardens... a garden represents life, and life is on it's way out of this planet... I don't make the rules i just call them like they are... you should never garden to be better but rather to bring out a side in yourself that strives for food production... or some other lesser purpose like the crazy kook woman flower garden.

When was in a band called "Roadbed", look it up if you dare, we used competition as a great producer... anything that gets you motivated to rule your domain is OK in the Man book. If one of the members wrote a song then the other would immediately think "fuck you you son of a bitch" and write another. Sometimes stubborn son of a bitches need an obvious motivator but never lose track of the big picture.

gardening tip of the day? Blueberries need acidic soil... think coffee grounds and pine needles.

OK
