Slow, Easy, Cheap and Green

I like this guy's approach - Slow Gardening.  Mr. Felder Rushing has a radio show - The Gestalt Gardener - in Oxford Mississippi.  From the New York Times Home and Garden section.

 At first glance, Mr. Rushing’s yard décor strikes a visitor as a maximalist hodgepodge of salvaged materials and junky doodads. There are several bottle trees (one is made of Bud Light bottles) and rusty I-beams stuck in the ground. ...  The entire space is encased by a fence of corrugated tin designed to thwart rubberneckers. “I’m not a snob, but I’m outside in my bathrobe a lot, and in the mornings I look like Jesus’ drunk brother,” he said. ...

Dried broomsedge, an ornamental grass, had a prominent place in the front of his garden, a drab clump amid the verdant green.  Mr. Rushing was asked if he planned to tear it out and replant. He considered it a moment, and gave a slow gardening response: “My way of thinking right now is brown is a color, too.”
