Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[moon@ceva.net]

 Hi Group,
 Is one prepper prepping make a prepper?
Forgive me if I m digging up an old string, but for the Grace of God,  
how do you find anyone who can ...uh...live the life.I have more  
resources then I can operate, yet prospective 'workers' come expecting  
salary,want to come after 5 mo of production, June, or want to stay   
week.
 are we hip yet? After All the press, where's the new blood?
