Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

It does bear reading, but I like your disclaimer - for personal and local. We 
know the need for networking in our own areas, but I'd stress the longer term 
need for more local self sufficiency in hard times economically. Disasters 
are more glamorous - as they say in the newspaper business, if it bleeds it 
leads - but the unglamorous preparations are more practical and urgent for 
people everywhere. One part of it is encouraging and mentoring more market 
growers for safe, healthy, local food production. That's something a lot of 
us can do something about, without waiting for some natural or manmade 
disaster. We're working with some local neighbors along this line.
