HEAD OUTDOORS FOR HEALTH

I have to chuckle when something mainstream catches up to what I've said for decades. Such was the case last week when the Wall Street Journal carried a nearly full-page story titled "For Better Health, Just Head Outdoors.

NEW FARMER BACK UP

My post last week about whether or not farm aspirants should attend college stimulated some extremely thoughtful and heartfelt responses; thank you all for chiming in.

CAN OF WORMS IT IS

Wow, what a wonderful feedback in the voting yesterday for our new planned waterless worm-based public toilet set-up. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go back and look at yesterday's post before reading this one.

WORM TOILETS

With our 10,000 visitors to the farm each year, toilets have been an ongoing topic of discussion for a long time. I'm an outspoken promoter of waterless systems and believe Sir Albert Howard, godfather of modern scientific composting, was absolutely right when he dreamed of 25-house diamonds, all with a southern exposure, with 1 acre in the center managed by a master gardener who also composted all the human excrement as a complete recycling soil fertility program…
