24. Biodiversity
    In an environment created solely by nature, there is a variety of plant and animal life, ranging from the very small to the very large. Nature has created a natural system for disease control. However, when we only incorporate limited variety in our landscapes, the system breaks down. In general, the more diverse we can make our gardens, the healthier they will be.
