A New View of Life on Earth

Product Review: The Meadow Creature Broadfork
Just yesterday we got a question from Jeff K. in Texas, who is looking for options to cultivate a large area without chemicals or machinery.  And then, just in the nick of time, David the Good came through with this review of one great option for cultivating large areas.

“It’s a monster.  It's got amazingly vicious spikes on the end with a wicked curve to them, and the solid steel construction doesn't look like any other garden tool most of us have seen.  That's because it's NOT like any other garden tool.  This is a ground-breaking machine…”  Read the article and see a video of David the Good using the broadfork, here:

A New View of Life on Earth – the National Microbiome Initiative
I’m really excited about this next story.  Late last week the White House announced the new National Microbiome Initiative.  This is a huge project with a huge budget, and it just might put our understanding of life on earth in fast forward…

“Soil scientists have found that microorganisms will play a key role in the future of agriculture.  Ocean biologists have learned that microbes have a huge impact on the planet's atmosphere.  And research physicians have found that our own health and happiness is heavily dependent on the microbes within our bodies…”  You can read the whole story here:

How Far Out of Town Should a Survival Retreat Be Located?
When people get concerned about the possibility of an economic crash or a societal collapse, many of them start looking for a place to create a survival retreat.  Lots of people look for the most remote location they can find.  But Marjory wrote this article to share why she thinks that it’s not always better to be further away…

“When we first panicked about the likelihood of economic collapse, we headed way out as far as we could get.  We were at least 6 miles from the nearest little store, and 25 miles the nearest small town.  After years of living that far out, we have realized as a family that we wish we were closer to other people.”  Get Marjory’s take on the best location for a survival retreat at this link:
