Great article(s) on the dangers/situations we are facing, and it does apply to our gardens......because they may not be here for many of us for long. Food production is gardening, different scale.
Starts with a quote from LONG ago.......funny how some people just know things, eh?
"The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race. The vices of mankind are active and able ministers of depopulation. They are the precursors in the great army of destruction, and often finish the dreadful work themselves. But should they fail in this war of extermination, sickly seasons, epidemics, pestilence, and plague advance in terrific array, and sweep off their thousands and tens of thousands. Should success be still incomplete, gigantic inevitable famine stalks in the rear, and with one mighty blow levels the population with the food of the world."
-- Thomas Malthus, 1798
Joe was a friend of Hunter, Tim, Kurt and many of the other boys. A true redneck and true liberal/socialist. Kind of a paradox, eh?
Billy, I know you gotta love the guy!
