urban farmer (and free man)
I haven't even planted anything yet, but just getting the greenhouse ready has been really cool. I feel like a farmer, there is something about working soil that is godly. I can't explain it, but I have been experiencing it big time.

I had 7 HUGE Tupperware bins I had been composting in all summer. most of the soil in them was really hard clay that came from under the street. they tore up the next block over for construction, and the workers gave me a few big bins of the 'dirt.' it was really just big chunks of clay.

I got some 'organic' soil on craig's list. like 9 or 10 big garbage bags of it. I put that on top of the clay. i put all of my foodstuffs type garbage on top of that all summer. i also pulled all the weeds in the alley, swept up all the dirt that falls on the sides of it, and put that all in.

i should have turned it a lot, but it is hard to turn big chunks of clay in a bin. i speared it with a spade and tried to chop it up a few times a month. i watered it a lot, and it has been a really rainy summer.

i used the same spade and kind of picked out all the good soil recently, put it into 5 gallon buckets and brought it up on the roof. i reduced my 7 bins down to 2 and filled up all the pots i want for the winter. there wasn't many big chunks of clay left, there was just a lot of clay stuck on the bottoms of the bins. i combined all that.

a neighbor was doing some major weeding and i brought over my empty 5 bins. he filled them and then some. i put all that debris into the 7 bins and stashed it in the 'yard.' i figure it will all decompose over the winter and i will have some fresh compost for next summer.

this is fun

this just in:

I have court in Skokie tomorrow.

I just talked to my lawyer and he says that there is no way I am going to jail.

when I pressed the "what if?" he said it wouldn't again, and said that they wouldn't just lock me up on the spot again. I will be given time to get my affairs in order.

this is a HUGE relief.
