I drive 4 foot tall wooden stakes into the soil in various places in my garden. They are adored as roosting places by several species of birds who deposit free fertilizer. If I didn't drive in the stakes the birds wouldn't sit in my garden, and the nutrients would be gifted to someplace outside my loop. The stakes essentially allow me to bring in nutrients from outside my loop.
