Fertilize For A Thicker, Fuller Life

He was the only man who didn't use chemical treatments on his lawn, and it looked excellent.

"Well, you see, I have a different approach. What I do is treat the lawn with an organic mixture that crates an environment where the good grass can grow healthy and strong. Then it grows and spreads to the point where it crowds out the weeds, and the weeds have nowhere to grow. It's all about the environment. Takes a little longer and a little more work up front, but once you have the good grass growing good and strong, it spreads like kudzu and then you have an amazing, vibrant lawn."

What's the life equivalent of trying to create improvements with toxins? When someone does wrong, do we dwell on it and spew judgment about it to anyone who will listen? Or do we pick out the best from the experience, and push the rest from our mind for good and into the compost bin? I'm no gardener, but I've tried each of those approaches and found a tremendous sense of personal power and success from the latter over the last year.
