Delivered to our house this morning, Gratis.
The different trees combine to create an intoxicating aroma of Doug Fir, Alder, fresh sap. Earthy and green tones intermingling on the palate.
Thank you Harrity Tree Specialists.
Almost worth it just for the scent, but of course we have bigger plans.
Spring has sprung, this week is proof of that, and March is the month for prepping the soil, but this year we are going with a radical no-till approach. Dave and I were made to watch the documentary Back To Eden last Sunday by Dave's mom Kai.
At first we didn't open ourselves up to the film because of its christian themes. Its amazing how well our generation was trained to lock down and shut off at the slightest hint of christian proselytizing. True open-mindedness is stronger than that reflex and I'm still working on this.
By the end of the film we were both "converted" to Paul Gautschi's no-till, wood chip method. I won't try and summarize the methodology here, thats why theres a whole movie, but I love that it's a plan rooted in long term thinking and sustainability. [I guess thats why the they invented the word permaculture]
