This morning my wife reinforced that I had been living life in an artificial bubble of NGOs and other private do-gooders -many of them spending most of their time gathering money to maintain their ‘do-gooderness’.
She is right! A year ago I started working with a number of young Rhode Island farmers…and Lord have they changed my ways! There ain’t no abstractions about growing things…and growing things without artifical help.
One of those new colleagues, Greg Gerritt (who is working on compost initiatives) sent this interesting article on monoculture agriculture (and the current issues with weed resistance).
