Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Sure, add more. We're not in the city anymore, not isolated but too far from 
stores to bicycle and if predictions hold horses will be very expensive. 
Rural or city, my best guess is too many things will start getting too 
expensive in a matter of months - and hope I never see it. Gas #1, food a 
close second. I don't quite like the word crash because it sounds too all or 
nothing. It appears this slow motion economic contraction is irreversible for 
multiple reasons. And what we're seeing already is desperate cuts in several 
state and city budgets, loss of many social services and safety nets - and 
some pension defaults dead ahead.  So it looks like gradual worsening of 
family finances and a lot of big bumps in the road, more downhill than 
uphill. With local networking pretty iffy for many of us the Internet is a 
poor substitute. Still it's nice to be able to communicate over vast 
distances with so many.

Without kids at home we don't really do Xmas or shopping with the madding 
crowd, so 25th is just another day here, and long as the ground doesn't 
freeze I can get some more wheelbarrow work done. The next two months won't 
let me do much with the garden.
