'Corrupted' doesn't mean unsalvageable. It's easier to patch a broken system than it is to make a flawless system on the first try. You can't start patching a brilliant set of ideas until you look directly at the fl

I've seen clover grown in the off season. It'll need some light though, so the shade of something over it might be a problem. There are lots of good combinations of plants to grow together, like the three sisters: https:/&#x

I know I'm drifting off topic, but a lot of commercial rehabs are basically insurance scams, at least in America. I'd argue those ads are both manipulative and harmful. Here's one story: https://www.bostonglobe.co
