Notes: "rec.gardens.ecosystems is a Usenet newsgroup intended for the discussion of gardening topics from an ecological perspective. In "down to earth" language, this means trying to work in concert with nature, rather than trying to force it into rigid format. A second aspect of the ecological perspective is that one avoids the use of toxic substances and fertilizers. Both toxic substances and fertilizers may seem to have short term beneficial effects on the home garden, but invariably turn out to disrupt the natural processes. The net result is that natures's dynamic balance is forced into a fixed balance, that can only be maintained by the use of more toxic substances and fertilizers" - http://www.ibiblio.org/rge
