And that are in earth - **All the animals, plants, minerals, waters, hidden fires, etc. Everything which the earth contains.** Visible and invisible - We see but a small part of the universe.

2.3.1.1. •Zone 0 - The home or house which can include an attached greenhouse, shadehouse, trellis, passive solar, etc. Seeds can be saved indoors, fungi can be prepared and grown, and numerous other regenerative plans and actions occur in the home. •Zone 1 - The immediate area around the home is ideal for elements that need continuous observation like tree nurseries, greenhouses, vermicompost, kitchen and herb gardens, edible and medicinal mushroom patches and logs, and quiet animals like rabbits. Other common elements: rainwater catchment, trellis, graywater systems, and greenhouses. This is an area you pass or visit daily and can spend time daily working in. This is also the area that usually has the longest growing season, being warmed by the house and closely attended. •Zone 2 - This area is less intensive and less visited than Z1. It includes small domestic stock, orchards, food forests, small pastures, broadacre crops, and animals shelters that connect to Z1 ideally. This area is visited every other day or just briefly once a day though it can occupy longer periods of time routinely as well. •Zone 3 - This is often a place of seasonal, annual, or monthly work, and it usually requires animals or machines to manage. It includes broadacre crops, larger animals, larger pastures, natural or low maintenance trees, large water storages, barns, feed-storage, windbreak, and hedgerow. •Zone 4 - This the wildest of the managed areas in the system; it borders the wilderness. It includes: timber, the largest pastures, firewood, native and non-native hardy trees, and large water storages. This is an area that is visited seasonally for specific tasks and lightly interacted with. •Zone 5 - The unmanaged or least-managed zone, Z5 is wilderness for hunting, timber, foraging, wild fungi, and observation. Leave it alone as much as possible unless using Silviculture to increase ecosystem vigor and prevent wildfires.
