Let's face it: In gardening/farming there are ups (tasty produce) and there are downs (cabbage worms, cropland turned marshland). It's difficult to stay positive while water fills your boots in a field once envisioned as a major crop or while digging up a row of pest abused cabbage. All the while, it's best to keep a permaculture attitude--'the problem is the solution.'
At Glacial Lakes Permaculture, we won't battle the marshland, forcing it to be a field, as it screams of its dream to be a duck pond. Instead, we'll dig.
Hefty stump in your front yard? Instead of paying hundreds of dollars for a stump removal service, my mentor covered it with all sorts of organic matter (maybe that 'failed' cabbage?) Until it decomposed enough to harbor Queensland Blue Squash. A problem turned solution. I think the squash agrees:

Dear Stump,
Thank you for your decomposition
