>>1035091>>1035104One thing I don't like about it is that it is no longer a "reachable goal" in the minds of a many people who have seen it in its latest stages. Back when it was weedy, more misshapen, and didn't have gravel paths people looked at it as inspiration "shit I can do that and do it better than that!" Now where it has been posted people are saying stuff like, "that's awesome but I'll never be able to do that". Which is the opposite of what I was wanting. I wish people were not like that. The good news is that there have been a ton of people who were inspired by it earlier on who now have really amazing gardens and say their inspiration to try was that garden in particular. And, their gardens have inspired even more people. One neighborhood has a garden revolution going on because of the chain of events and they even successfully lobbied their town to allow vegetable gardening in its ordinances.
The thing is, the better the garden gets, the easier it gets to work in and grow in successfully. The paths help a great deal in keeping crawling pests and weed seeds away as they act like a dry moat/desert.
