ABSTRACT

Introduction Personally, I don’t like gardening. Maybe it’s because my fingers aren’t green enough or I’m developing an allergy to natural light or something, but I just don’t feel the call to tend the earth outside my house. I’m ‘giving it back to nature’! This tutorial originated from one of the times I was dragged (kicking and screaming) outside to cut the grass and, while trying not to run over the electric cable (never done THAT before, honest!), noticed how the soil intermingled with the grass; there wasn’t a fade or linear transition from grass to soil, but each one reached out to the other along the cracks in the ground. The result is this tutorial. Which reminds me. Better finish mowing the lawns at some point this year!
