Welcome “Sparks in the Soil”

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to our good friend, Holly, and welcome her to the blogosphere. Take a minute to check out her newly minted blog, centering around ways to feed the soul and the stomach.

In related news, I hope to inform my legions of readers about composting and companion planting this spring. Our compost pile right now is a bunch of frozen vegetable peels and eggshells, but I hope that in the early summer it will be a decaying mass of wormy nutrition for the milpa I plan to set up in our backyard.

It will take a fortuitous convergence of time, energy, and extra petty cash to pull it off, so keep your fingers crossed – but not so crossed that you can’t click on the link to Holly’s blog. Speaking of which, why are you still here? Get over there.

    Thanks, John, for that generous shout-out! Is there a word for blog-generosity? Blogerosity? Thanks.

    Milpa, cool! That’s so old-timey, I can’t wait to hear about it. As for composting, I’ve convinced Rob that we need a compact redworm composter this summer. Tiny gardens need compost too, why not make it ourselves and stop paying a minor fortune for it from the garden center?

    Again, thanks.
