efore I bought my first vacant lot, I walked the perimeter of the land and crisscrossed through the interior of the plot to get a feel of its atmosphere. At that point, the land was free from any domesticated care, and filled with wildlife such as deer, raccoons, opossums, groundhogs, and foxes. The first year, native animals decimated the garden. Since then, I’ve set up fencing as well as leaving a bounty for local wildlife at the end of the year for more harmonious living.
