PRFCT Tips →

Very wise words from our good friend Edwina von Gal at the PRFCT Earth PRJCT:

Why not take advantage of this at-home opportunity to get to know your property better?  Go outside and take a good look at every square foot of your place. What is going on? What is doing just fine, and what needs you? This year’s PRFCT Tips will be your guide. 
 
Step One: Review all the maintenance and fertilizer/pesticide treatments you or your professionals have been applying to your property. What are they? Why are they needed?  Check out their health and environmental effects here.  

Go back outside. Is your property bursting, buzzing and chirping with life? Treasure it. Make that vow: I will do this place no harm.
