@neal_traynor Read Herzog years ago. Mainly reading nature, wildlife and farming books. Just finished Akenfield by Ronald Blythe. Currently on Losing Eden, on the psych/emotional/wellbeing aspects of nature and nature loss.

"The weasel lives in necessity and we live in choice, hating necessity and dying at the last ignobly in its talons" The amazing Annie Dillard in Teaching a Stone to Talk. Prose with meaning like gravity.

@Ben_Raskin Woodchip Handbook has given me an idea for coppice/hedge management. Coppice in Feb. Dry the stuff for chipping to 25ish % over summer. Use them for bedding over lambing. Compost, covered, over cardboard to make weed free no till beds for crops the next Spring. https://t.co/KbS9poUWBW

"Every farm woodland, in addition to yielding lumber, fuel, and posts, should provide its owner a Liberal education" - Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac. I reckon he has a point. https://t.co/zJrSj2tvkz

@apisgallus I have. Read it and The Shining Levels at the same time. And Ask the Fellows Who Take In The Hay. Currently waiting on Ronald Blythe from a local indie bookseller in the post. Next to Nature I think it is. Waiting on Gifts of Gravity from Anita Roy too.
