Healthy soil and sustainable growing

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

This year some companies have reported a boom in seed sales. It seems that 
when budgets get tighter a lot of people start gardening or expand what they 
have. But you're right, starting when you can't find or afford food is a day 
late and a dollar short as they say. And producing good food isn't any easier 
with a college degree - I know.

   "If your experience is that your water comes from the tap and that your 
food comes from the grocery store then you are going to defend to the death 
the system that brings those to you because your life depends on that; if 
your experience is that your water comes from a river and that your food 
comes from a land base then you will defend those to the death because your 
life depends on them. So part of the problem is that we have become so 
dependent upon this system that is killing and exploiting us, it has become 
almost impossible for us to imagine living outside of it and it's very 
difficult physically for us to live outside of it."
