Below leads to a link with a quick distillation of commentary and research on how nature cures and prevents avian flu, mad cow, hoof and mouth and other "incurables" including those that affect humans. Since time began, filth, overcrowding and congestion, lack of beneficial soil microbes, excess fear and lack of the full spectrum of minerals in the soil have triggered illness and mutated pathogens. While we want to deal with the latest pathogens, we also need to eliminate the core reasons why they keep recurring. Eco-farms that restore all the major and trace elements to the soil and rebuild beneficial microbes can be valuable links in leading us out of this cycle. The methods for achieving this are quite simple.

Gardening and mini-farming for fun profit and earth restoring livelihood

During the writing of Micro Eco-Farming, I was consulted by a researcher whose theories are just now being embraced by the mainstream scientific world. His research shows how, in a few years, we can stabilize the world's climates, refresh the biosphere, and eradicate many supposedly terminal and incurable diseases. His site is visited by top researches around the globe, and is very user-friendly to laypeople. While many complain about the demise of the world, he simply has the answer. We can begin in our backyards, and certainly, if we are micro eco-farmers, there's a very simple thing we can do to our soils to create superior crops that outwit disease, frost and drought. And it is simple. His site is: www.truehealth.org

Micro eco-farmers, I've found, are like treasure hunters, or world explorers, when it comes to choosing what grows in their gardens. Their fields are often a mix of favorite staples, and the very unusual. Here I'd like to introduce the chocolate-scented daisy. Its small yellow blossoms bloom at night, releasing the chocolate fragrance in the morning. It grows about a foot tall in clumps and dies back in cold winters, where it returns in spring to be a larger clump than last year. It makes a nice dried flower, and is very good for attracting beneficial insects.

I meet many successful micro eco-farmers, plus many who have almost arrived (their entire backyard is tilled and their first restaurant customers are in line for this summer)

I also meet people at this stage: "I've always always wanted to live the small farm life, but..."

Their dreams are beautiful: A two-acre children's miniature horse ranch, an urban gourmet salad market garden, a garden to grow all the ingredients for a secret family recipe salsa they want to sell over the Internet. Some have never planted a seed, and some are from generational farming families who lost out in the 80s.

But they keep working in the office cubicle.

Sometimes these people need to rediscover a treasury of inner resources that could help make their dreams come true, regardless of what that dream is.

My favorite resources for this are the books and other items created by Barbara Sher, Barbara Winter, and Valerie Young. Valerie has a home business website, www.ChangingCourse.com, that lists these resources, including a free newsletter, inspiring articles about those who made the switch, books that may be available at your library, and customized coaching on how to get from here to there. They believe in meaningful livelihood, being your own boss, and the type of life that, as they say, means you don't need an alarm clock in the morning, because you can't wait to start your day.
