What's next?

What does life have in store  for me next? I have been giving this some thought lately and there are so many options available to me. the plethora of options is freeing and overwhelming at the same time.

My first option for after graduation is to do a solo tour of Europe for 1-2 months. Even with in this option there are many options starting off with
  1. Hitting every tourist spot in a backpacking style tour of Europe
  2. Mixing in actual tours through travel agents and such
  3. WWOOF. World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. This would in tale an organic farm providing me room and board in exchange for 4 hours of labor a day. Seems like a pretty good deal and would be a great opportunity for hands on experience and education

Another option is have is to tour the united states. This option does take a back seat to touring Europe simply because I have driven form the Mississippi to the pacific ocean a couple of times even though I was rather young. For this trip I would want to take a route that covered the maximum amount of states and focus on the east coast which I have seen very little of. Here are a couple of samples of routes I would be interested in:

Next options would be moving in with a grandmother and garden part of her fertile 40 acres in Missouri which I figure out what next

The last option would be to get a job right away which is never a bad option but I do have an opportunity to try something different in this time before I get tied down with a job.

What is Humus?

Humus compost is the product from our garden I would recommend for all gardeners to use in their garden even if you only have a pot on a patio. We get our humus compost for The Garden from our local University Farm at no charge. Any one from the public can also go and get some for a small fee. Compost is simply organic matter that is broken down and decomposing. Humus compost is that same organic matter that has decomposed but is then eaten by microbes. So basically microbe poop.     Humus is not only used across the country but around the world. Midwest Bio Systems , who introduced our local University into making humus, says that none of their facilities can make humus fast enough to satisfy demand. This could very well be why most of their business is educating and equipping farmers to use humus compost on their fields to cut down their cost of fertilizer. At The Garden we use it like most commercial gardeners by spreading over our plots. By just spreading a th...

Top 6 Reasons Why I Garden

1.     The flow of gardening. When working in the garden there are a variety of tasks, sometimes you are doing backbreaking work, and others you are pulling weed by weed at your own pace. 2.     Connection to where I live. Having a successful garden requires you to tune into where you live. Knowing your climate, soil, drainage, how much rain you will get (or not get) that year, where the sun shines most, and so on brings greater appreciation for how God designed where we live. 3.     Old fashioned hard work. I love getting in there and getting my hands dirty. I find so much satisfaction when I take a step back and see what my hands created. From digging trenches, building compost bins, trellises, and raised beds, it's been a good day when you’re covered with dirt and sweat and are ready to put your feet up. a work day at my parents house early this spring 4.     Eating healthy. When growing a garden you most ...

4 More Reasons Why I Garden

On Monday I did a post on my Top 6 Reasons Why I Garden and today I decided to add 4 more to that list 7.    Bridges the gap between what I do in life and my faith . This summer gardening has made the transition from beloved hobby to a job and I couldn’t be happier! Now I get to spend more concentrated time in the garden I have also studied many of Jesus' parables. Since spending more time in the garden they have new meaning and have come to life such as the parable of the four soils, the mustard seed, just to give you an idea. 8.    Experimentation. When you are gardening it is always a good idea to leave room to try something new. You can try new techniques like no till or Square Foot Gardening , but you can also try new plants or varieties. Just try it and see what happens! 9.    Sharing produce . I love giving the fruits of my garden to those around me. This is also helpful to me because it always seems around harvest time I get overwhelm...
