Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[mtncats@planetcomm.net]

Hi Gwen,

Been around for quite awhile.  I knew a grower in Vermont who got a lot of 
labor that way.  She's since fallen in love, sold out, and moved to Florida, 
IIRC.  But every year she had a steady stream of what she called "field 
hippies".  Communal cooking and a variety of shelters for primitive camping.  
They humanured.  Unsure what the bathing facilities were.  Far as she was 
concerned, it was an excellent way to go.
