If nothing else, I would think doing the garden is a good start. Our garden was in pretty good shape from all our composting but the pastures, oh my.

Koanga Gardens here in NZ are really into it and I buy alot of my seeds etc through them. It is all a bit mind boggling and I'm glad someone else feels the same! <br /><br />I've been looking at the few paddocks we have for our cows and wondering what they need to be healthier and toying with the idea of soil tests. But I'm a little scared that I won't have a clue what to do with the results - just like you. <br /><br />And then there is the hard work of lugging rocks around!! Oh well, I'm just going to have to pull finger and get on to it. Baby steps and eventually I'll get there.<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration.Charlotte Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696100659597422648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769697566946386195.post-29382090559321764812010-03-07T10:12:01.056-08:002010-03-07T10:12:01.056-08:00I made my husband (Steve) read this post and the o...I made my husband (Steve) read this post and the one before it. I knew he'd like it. In his dream life he makes a living as an organic farmer (or musician) but settled on the security of a CPA with a backyard garden (and an old upright in the living room). After reading your posts he told me two stories of the farm he had in Ferndale before I knew him and has mused about the productivity of others. I, too, wonder how you get it all done? <br /><br />Glad to have discovered your blog, Patti. I look forward to reading (and sharing) more of your ruminations.
