Your grandparents, who loves to garden, are thinking about buying a house in a country. Next weekend, they are going to look at two houses. One has a large garden that is part of a small farm that was abandoned 25 years ago. Use what you know about succession to make a list of some of the likely advantages of each place in a short answer.

We will be glad to critique your work, but aren't going to do it for you. This applies to all of your posts.

Why?????????

Why? Because this is a homework help board with emphasis on HELP. We don't DO homework but we try to help YOU do it.

I apologize if my previous response seemed unhelpful. I am here to assist you in answering your questions and providing guidance on how to find the answers. Let's return to your original question about the advantages of the two houses for your gardening-loving grandparents.

For the house with the large garden that is part of an abandoned farm, one of the likely advantages is the potential for abundant and fertile soil. Over the course of 25 years, the land would have naturally undergone ecological succession. This process involves the gradual change in plant and animal communities over time, leading to the development of a stable and self-sustaining ecosystem.

During succession, different species of plants and organisms establish themselves in a particular order. The initial colonizers, such as fast-growing weeds and grasses, help stabilize the soil and create organic matter through their decomposition. As a result, the soil becomes richer in nutrients, which promotes the growth of more diverse and complex plant species.

So, in this case, your grandparents would likely benefit from the existing fertile soil in the abandoned farm's garden. They may find it easier to cultivate and grow a wide variety of plants, compared to starting from scratch in a less established garden.

As for the other house, without specific details provided, it's challenging to pinpoint the advantages. However, depending on the preferences and needs of your grandparents, they might consider factors like the size of the garden, sunlight exposure, access to water sources, proximity to local markets or nurseries, and the presence of any existing infrastructure like raised beds or greenhouse structures.

To make a comprehensive list of advantages for each place, it would be helpful to gather more information about both houses, such as the specific characteristics of their respective gardens and the surrounding environment. This will enable a more accurate assessment of the suitability of each location for your grandparents' gardening interests.

I hope this explanation helps you in thinking through the advantages of the two houses. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to ask.
