Re: Interesting form of farming from Masanobu Fukuoka
Hello, good people.
Ever since I was six or seven I have homesteaded in my daydreams, and in putting myself to sleep at night.
I can't travel, or be set down anywhere, without I immediately start 'nesting' in any place I see, no matter how poor or devastated.
When I was very young I knew little of practical matters, or any 'how to's'...so I invented them...and had a heck of a time changing my mind when told my way wouldn't work.
Whenever I hear an idea I admire, I want to act upon it, or to join others who are doing it.
I design.
My designs are always inexpensive...made from materials at hand. 'Community' is my touchstone.
My motto, since I was in my early 20's, from a dear Chinese-Canadian friend, is, "There is always a way."
So far, Dr. Masaru Emoto (

Jane Goodall (

I am excited to know of Masanobu Fukuoka!
Isn't it wonderful what can be done with the things found at hand?!
It is my ideal to open a Resource Center where everyone may see these people's works, and join in as they wish.
(I'll add in links, above.)
It is a great pleasure to find you all here.
My best,
