Autumn 2009

Well I'm back from France. The main structural work on the eco-barn is completed. I hope to finish it next summer. The allotment looks a bit neglected but good crops of potatoes, shallots, onions, black & red currants and beans before we left end of July. Green manure has worked well and covering fallow soil with garden rubbish &/or cardboard just fine.
Major recent influences include: Great new book on Sustainability Literacy; continued interest globally in the potentail for bio-char to sequester Carbon and improve soils water and nutrient holding capacity and hence productivity.
Eckhart Tolle and excellent articles in Resurgence magazine 256 on Consciousness.
I'm still stuggling with Tag list (controlled vocabulary), but warming to a solution.
