Lifting from Suite 101

Obviously Fish Creek House puts a lot of effort into tracking down articles with text they can take from. Where do they find all these sites? And the way they weave other people's words in with their own, so that the whole thing looks like it was written by them. Amazing.

Here's one from the INNside Innkeeping in Montana, posted August 28th, 2007: Update Sept 5, 2007: Gosh they took this one down too.

Seeds of Diversity

Note the following paragraphs:

Food is where it all begins and we can learn ways to provide for ourselves, especially if we live, or strive to live in a community, and not as isolated individuals with no responsibility beyond meeting our own needs. We can discover how to care for the soil which provides, in collaboration with the weather, the essential nutrients that enable plants to grow strong and healthy.

When we feed the soil, we feed ourselves and we create the conditions which enable future generations to feed themselves. This is the essence of sustainability, a system which self-regulates as it regenerates.

Care of the soil is how we learn the importance of our connection to the earth and what our role is within the web that is Life. We learn to prevent problems such as erosion. Through skills such as observation we can witness the impact that the sun has and how we can design our gardens to best take advantage of the amount of sun that reaches our property.
