I want to answer some questions…. Anything goes, controversial or not, anon or as yourself, just ask….
After day 1 in the new garden, this is the before and after. Before I can being prepping the land (without digging and ploughing) I needed to cut out the Bramble. Bramble is extremely tenacious and will simply grow back thicker if not taken care of properly. But Bramble is also a pioneer species, meaning that when a fire burns areas bare, or large trees fall over in a forest, the Bramble forms a scab over the newly bared soil, and once the younger saplings provide enough shade, the bramble dies back again providing the nourishing top layer of humus. Using this same procedure at an accelerated rate, means that I cut the bramble down (make sure to use saftey glasses and gloves), mix it with lawn mowings, oak leaves, pine needles, and use it as a ground mulch, while providing some shading. This entire process means that over the next month I will be developing 3 veggie patches a day using a layered mulch. Fun Fun Fun!!! ;)

though money does run society.
I’ll agree that society thinks it is run by money, but that in fact, physics does all the actual running. Society itself is not a universally cohesive unit anyway, so some societies place more emphasis on money than others, and if it is such a relative concept, then it can’t be the only driving force, and the statement “money runs society” is an incorrect generalisation that unfortunately perpetuates the problem. People, and thus society, don’t actually need money to run society, they just think they do, and as long as they think they do, the billions of problems that are created by the monetary system will continue. Which is the point of the post, to break the perception that money makes the world go round. ;)
money does not make the world go round, physics does.
tomorrow I get started with my last gardening project for the town. the land shown here was once used to grow potatoes, but has been lying fallow for several years. There is enough space on the land for 145 vegetable patches as well as a shadecloth potato hut, where I intend to grow potatoes in pots and bin bags. Once this garden is done (about a month) I will have a total of 227 vegetable patches throughout the town, which should provide enough vegetables from about 8 harvests, to last the full town 2 months in autumn before winter sets in.

pigcharmer replied to your post: For every Action there is an equal and opposite reaction
what if someone somewhere acts out of fear and I react
with love.
Since fear is a reaction, and love is an action, what is actually happening in your scenario is that someone somewhere has not acted when posed with a threat based in fear, and have been forced to react in fear. Since you are not afraid or threatened, and you choose to act to end the fear through love, your action will result in a reaction of love, and since love is active, it will have a snowball effect.
For every Action there is an equal and opposite reaction
When you wait for others to act, you are forced to react.
When you act first, others are forced to react.
When we are constantly reacting to our world, we render ourselves unable to act.
Act or react, that is the question, and it’s answer is your life.
Everything changes everything.
