Healthy soil and sustainable growing

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

Have to find one problem with that but it's a biggie. They all help to learn 
farming but they forgot to cover the "make a living" part of it. Trust me, 
that's the hard part. I'm suspecting those who survive do it by relying on 
cheap labor from volunteers, grants, or family members. Or they have family 
land paid off long ago. The cost of good farmland puts farming out of reach 
for almost all aspiring farmers. No healthcare or retirement benefits of 
course. My own goal is more realistic, to supplement retirement with cost 
effective growing for great customers, on a small plot that just came with 
the house. And millions of others can find this doable too.
