Gimme, thanks for your great reply even if it could be identified as off-topic here :wink:

I know for sure all common people from over the world have much more in common than our politicians can imagine We all adore values like family, peace and human rights. But I know that there are still a lot of foreign people who believe in such fairytales like bears walking in our streets

Regarding your question about our soil maintaince I can say the same. We use 4 years change of vegetable groups method and add fire-fang manure in spring and autumn plus minimum chemicals :wink:

But without my mother-in-law and wife's grannie we will never have such a green place They are living at our dacha which is located 65 km from Minsk from mid April till the end of October.

I wanna tell ya this.

I grew up in the 60's. I was born...in 1960. I remember , distinctly, pondering, as a child....WHY ?

WHY ?...HOW ? why an how, can anyone hate or fear another, to the point of nuclear extinction. I told people, as a youngster, they were wrong. I told them....i said....try this...take any Russian youth, and let us be placed together, in a common environment....an there would be no hatred, no fear, no animosity. An i challenged those, and i still do, that believe somehow...superiority of weapons, ensure survival.

Your pictures...vividly bring me Happiness, not only in seeing the Beauty of your handiwork, there, but also in affirming....some things you probly understand, too, an that i have believed since childhood....)))

The soils shown across the pics, catch my eye....and im curious. Could you describe the manner of soil maintenance/improvements you engage in, there, please ? lol...i think i know one of em, an thats cool by me...)))
