what what our idea here is if you could see it it would be great there's There's peaches that I brought.
There's all kinds of vegetables that after one year, you know, Kalita, we went out to his place, and it was bare.
Do you remember that? And that was on a field trip that we were going on, and we stopped at Leo's
And I would like to know more about, and the listeners would like to know, what were the key factors of that? We could go into that right now.
And my farming skill set has kind of moved in that direction since I started farming with all the new information available.
That we've learned starting from, you know, what Amigo Bob taught me and then teaching people living lands and then also the speakers that have come into the community and taught us farming skills.
It's given me this kind of go back to nature idea of farming and like, what does nature do? So instead of...
Using my big brain, when I go to do something in agriculture, I just think of, well, what does nature do? And trying to mimic nature.
You know, I always point to all the big trees around us when someone talks about fertility.
And I always say, well, where do they get their fertilizer? And Mother Nature drops fertility.

And if you can tie into that system without disturbing it too much, you can get whatever the plants need from wherever they can find it.
