Go With the Flow Creating a year-round garden that practically takes care of itself means using principles of permaculture, a philosophy of working with, rather than against, nature. Start by analyzing your space and yard. Determine your soil type and layer mulch or cover crops to protect it. Then, begin planting the same way that’s found in nature — trees grow at the top, shrubs and bushes are below, and other small plants and vines intermingle within. Choose crops that help each other grow (like corn, beans, and squash), and offer aid to your garden without digging up too much soil or disturbing its natural process. Permaculture gardening requires thoughtful planning, but once your crops are in place, nature will take its course.

If you want to get a loan for your small business, most lenders will require you to show a life insurance policy. It’s part of a comprehensive plan for what happens if the owner or partners of your business pass away. It can help keep the business afloat in the turbulence that can easily follow your death. Life insurance can also cover funeral expenses, which would help your family. And if you help out your parents or other family financially from time to time, a policy can ensure that those contributions continue after your death. Finally, a life insurance policy allows you to give significant money to charities and other worthy causes. As you can see, there are many good reasons to have a life insurance policy, and the sooner you start one, the better.
