While I'm on my knees in the garden...
inhaling the rich odors of the soil, tomatoes and onions with deep yogic breath, a pure peace washes my soul, refreshes. It is why I grow.

And most effective forms of rejuvenation.
and this year we are getting so many volunteers from the entropy (compost) pile, I’m going to rename it the ‘phoenix’ pile. Mostly tomatoes and cucumbers.
What fun!
Great use of space. I was very impressed.
May the stillness within shield you throughout the day…
Say hi to everyone.
Over the past two years I have tilled in three huge loads of goat manure and one load of cow manure. Our tomato plants are seven feet high. My wife has been cutting the tops because of how tall they are. She even found a bird nest in one tomato plant. Bird must have thought it was a tree. I have a Brethren (Amish like) that brings it to me. Guy has 12 kids, so I pay him money for it. He just brought me another load and I will till it into the garden this fall. Amazing the difference in my garden from years past. Goat manure is really beneficial for the soil. Here is a picture of the load he just brought me.
Looks real nice…we can get horse manure from the Amish farm down the street. Don’t use that a lot maybe every couple years or so. Entropy pile is mostly comfrey, veggie leftovers, grass clippings and used straw. It’s on a three year rotation.
