Plant a bunch of trees, put down some mulch. Walk away for a year, with no worries. Once a year, add mulch. Enjoy providing habitat for birds and small mammals, plus the shade and privacy, for zero maintenance.

Look up mini-forest, micro-forest, tiny-forest, research. Crazy how a few trees changes a landscape for animals.

I definitely miss the birds at the last place I lived. There was a delightful married cardinal couple, various and sundry doves, and the occasional crow.

Now I've got a couple stray cats battling over the territory, neither of which is quite sure what to make of me.

I've also got possum bro. He just kinda hangs out and gives me a nod every once in a while.
