Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Laura McKenzie" <laurabrownmckenzie@worldnet.att.net>]

Paul,  the one power tool I really wish for is a chipper-shredder.  As it 
stands now, we must let Mother Nature do her work on the brush.  It takes 2 
years typically.  I'd really like wood mulch for the paths.  It would be 
nice to have a chainsaw too.  One year we had to hire a tree person to come 
and take down the nearly destroyed trees a hurricane damaged.  If we had our 
own chainsaw, we'd only have to hire for the really huge jobs.  We have 
nearly 100 more than 70 feet tall trees and hundreds of smaller ones.

But those are luxuries.  We do ok without them.

I had to buy inputs at first since we had only subsoil to start with. But 
now less and less do we use maxicrop and such.  In a couple of years we 
won't need anything, I'm hoping.
