Nonviolent Worms eating
the Living Stones
The weatherman on the TV news tonight is saying winter has arrived. I guess we had a few fall-like days and now it is cold. Today it was also windy. The cold and wind made working outside hard. I emptied the rain barrels of water but did not too much else. I need to find some time the next few days, despite the cold and wind, to get outside and clean up the garden and the garage. It is just a matter of cleaning up now since most growing outside is done. The Kale and flowers still bloom, but are not really growing. The Worm Depository (another word I will need to add to the new Glossary) is topped with leaves and wood chips to keep the worms warm and cozy. Fortunately the five-pane windows are in place in the sunroom (now a Greenhouse) and I can maintain a decent temperature without using the heater much.
The Growing Power Home Model does best in warm weather but happens all year around. The growing activity has been transferred to the Greenhouse, former sunroom, but the soil making process goes on. Neither rain, snow nor storm can stop the natural process of waste changing to compost and being enriched by worms.
I finished my last Living Stones newsletter. It was the 27th issue. The title article is called: “The Nonviolent Worm is Eating the Living Stones.” As I explained, my web time is now devoted to this domain of the Nonviolent Worm, and is eating the time I would spend on the newsletter. Besides, the essays, jokes, artwork etc. that appeared in the newsletter over the last few years now have a new home on the web site. I will send out the last newsletter tomorrow and my friend John, in sunny California, should have it up on the web in a few days.
