(Lawrence has a penchant for idealizing those who left us - Eric
Kindberg is another that comes to mind).:-)Yes, very much so because of what they accomplished that you and I have
used and enjoyed.
Your issues with them are not my problem.
Now that was just like Lion on a bad day, contentious for no reason.
Anyway you know what I mean, Douglas.
Those folks were not people you meet very often. They made their connections
with _us_, directly. Neither made their living pushing paper without a good
reason for doing so, theirs was hands on in the field or at the E-typewriter
creating documentation, publishing or in Eric's case, occasionally writing
grants.
They each made significant contributions.
One of Eric's most significant was his shop fabricated tillage and bed
making implements and also his experimentation with natural farming
methods, knowledge gained and advice passed to us. Lion continued the
research and documentation on what was essentially permaculture coupled
with homesteading and natural gardening and farming, trends started in the
1960's that helped provide momentum for the back-to-the-land movement that
has continued to this day.
How is your soil and compost testing lab coming?
