Agree, Oldtimin. Our local auto mechanic and the hardware man need to keep
plying their trade full time. At the same time I'm convinced fossil fuels
are headed much higher long term, and I'm told NPK and oil-based pesticides
have already gone way up over the last few years (I wouldn't know since I
don't need it). They say our store produce travels 1500 miles on average,
and that's all fossil fuel. In my view the demand for growing skills,
information, and non-hybrid seed can only rise in the near future. The need
for new "Victory Gardens" may be here before we know it.
