I feel saddened if I need to cut back a plant, hanging over to my neighbor for example, or over a walkway it is blocking. I think the plant would be better off without me cutting it back. But I have to do it for my neighbors sake and my foot-paths and walkways need to be clear as well.
Is this normal? ✂️🌿
FWIW don’t feel bad, pruning plants back is generally good for them
Mowing the lawn for example makes the short grass greener and denser, than letting it get very long for some reason. But where do all the nutrients go?
So long as you dont bag and throw out the clippings, they’ll just compost on the ground and turn back into soil, and then turn back into the grass in a closed-ish cycle
Yeah this is why farmers need fertilizer, because the plants they remove to feed humans remove nutrients from the ground. If you have some fruit trees, one should perhaps fertilize them, once you eat some stuff out of your garden.
