Here is case study showing why I recommend low-to-no till. Disturbing the soil collapses earthworm burrow pores and interrupts all the living things that turn dirt into high-quality soil.

Plant more densely. Let earthworms cook. Let nature help you. Let your soil heal.

"And as long as he keeps the soils covered and the roots living, he knows his million-man workforce underground will be clocking in for their shift every single day, helping the farm thrive."

The 1,200-acre farmer says earthworms are central to his success in growing no-till corn, soybeans and winter wheat.

If you must have a crape myrtle, this is the gold standard way to care for it. Stop topping and over-mulching these poor guys! I offer training sessions to help.

There are many other native shrub options that are less messy, just as gorgeous, and support nature. I offer 10% off replacing crape myrtle sand some other non-native and invasive plants.

Avoid this common pruning mistake before your tree becomes an eyesore.
