There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who
learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and
find out for themselves.

Good!

Rodale press lives on with a preface by Wendell Berry who we should all
know.

Mr Fukuoka understands the interconnectness of farming with other
aspects of culture, and his book is highly suggestive. He feels that
natural farming proceeds from the spiritual health of the individual.

Yes, but this is not for us perhaps the next generation. I still read
Gary Snyder as I only remember about 5% of any book I love. This is why
I write all over them. Still I have never meet anyone who knows of
Fukuoka. Such is the way it is.

Bill who likes Coleman's coliniar Hoe a lot. A slicing hoe for young
weeds.
