Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Debbie Mcdonald <belynor@sbcglobal.net>]

Yes!!! I knew the dry line was moving east but I didn't know the arctic was 
moving south:) What was extra odd was that this is an El Nino year. I have 
had horses for years and lived in the city with a clay soil the last time I 
remember an El Nino as it was a huge mess for the horses, rain so often the 
soil did not have time to dry out and the pockets made by their hooves just 
sucked more water deeper and deeper till I was afraid for the health of their 
legs. It is not like that now, though it did start out with alot of rain but 
maybe a bit earlier than  before and this year I was also stressing BIG time 
over the dam on my three acre pond as the top started small slide areas, that 
was very stressful, I put tarps over it:)
