Observations and Ponderings
I live on 20 acres so I am walking around a bit looking at the land. For years this land has been used for hay and cattle. It has been sprayed with chemical fertilizer. And there are alot of fire ant mounds. … Its a humorous battle between farmer and nature. The farmer brings in foreign grasses and then battles to keep the native from coming back… and then moans about the symptoms of a sick land. All for the sake of barely braking even and keeping an ag exemption….. EEESH…. well I realized that the earth offers certain medicine for us and the land itself… via “weeds” and encroaching plants. Its quite amazing actually how quickly the land will take itself back to a balanced state.
So I would LOVE to learn how to use these plants and herbal wisdom to work with the land.
To develop a way that honors the land AND provides food…
Welcome to my journey….
I have recently signed up for a correspondence course through Susan Weeds online site. I have been trying to decide how I want to journal. It dawned on me this morning finally that I would like to use a blog. My best writing and fleshing out is done with the intention of sharing. And whether or not anyone reads this it helps me to share what I am learning and doing through.
If you have something to add or comment please feel free…. But realize where I am at with things and also that I am very not conventional so many times my conclusions will seem way “out there” cuz that is where I go with things.
Peace
