"The land itself will fight"? What do you mean?

I don't really "stand" anywhere -- I don't see an issue at hand in this
particular part of our discussion. On this level it seems a matter of correct
or incorrect factual description. My wife has tried to grow a garden in our
backyard two years in a row now. Last year a moron cutting our yard for us
mowed over the garden while it was still very small. This year we have yet to
see very much come up yet.

Thank God for grocery stores :).
