Dirt Is Good

Rating: 5.0


Don't throw away your dirt
when you throw away your weeds.
That soil that's clinging to the root
is what your garden needs.

So take the time to knock it off
before that weed gets tossed.
You'll not need buy more garden soil;
you've saved yourself some cost!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
On 12 June 2019 I was out in my garden pulling and digging up weeds when this poem and another one came into my head. The other poem is called 'While They're Still Babies', and it was posted yesterday. I wrote nothing down until later when I went into the house, at which time all sixteen lines were ready to be written.

Yes, a very practical tip, not throwing the soil with the weed. But why even throw away the weed? The way deforestation takes place on this earth weeds should come handy for planting. They are hardy plants, need little care, and would grow easy.

You throw away the weed because it is taking nourishment intended for the crop you are trying to grow. Weeds must be removed or they will kill your tomatoes, peas and onions. Thanks for commenting.
