[QUOTE="KMA, post: 3785412, member: 32"] I agree 'Holistic', 'Organic' are simply new names for long established practices like crop rotation that were largely lost in the scientific revolution of the 20th century and the advent of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. I've gone from farming livestock on 2,700 acres of mostly hill and permanent pasture to trying to be self sufficient (veg-wise) on just over 4,000sq' of swamp. The smaller area really tends to focus your thinking. The other huge difference is that I make all the decisions now that I am no longer in a family partnership and can explore ideas. It is the endless ideas and possibilities that had me wide awake at 5am this morning and raring to get out and do things. The day I don't learn something is the day you can fill the hole over me, who knows, maybe there's even more to learn after that;) [/QUOTE]
