A serendipitous meeting

To transform bare earth into fertile soil, the chooks have to be given great quantities of material - grass clippings, garden waste, food scraps, leaves and straw. I now travel with a tarpaulin and a pair of gloves in the boot of my car, so that I can gather mulch wherever I see it. A few weeks ago, I was in town gathering leaves by the side of the road (as one does), when a truck drew up and the driver asked if I needed some mulch, because he had large quantities of spoiled hay that he didn't want, and he wondered if I'd like it! Even more serendipitous, the hay was stored in a yard in Hall, the nearest village to our farm. So, a few weeks later (with a little help from Bruce), this vast quantity of mulch arrived in our backyard.

dear biodynamic garden friend,
I think that you are doing suprisingly well con-
sidering the heat. I reckon that it would be good,
if you want your child to help in the garden, to make the jobs hard but fun. (i.e. Pay her well!!)

Best wishes from a very intelligent reader.
p.s. Goodbye
