Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Art Corbit" <art_c@cox.net>]

The way I see it using a few man made machines now to get ready for what
ever is to come is wise because with them we can do a lot more a lot faster.
One thing that is right at the top of my list is putting together an energy
source that will supply electricity to run my entire place including a
couple of hot houses for fresh winter veggies. What ever it is I want it on
my own place where I don't have to depend on anyone else.
