I picked up a new used copy of one of my favorite books that had gone missing. You could call Eric Sloane one of my heroes - his books and drawings taught me a lot about reading the landscape I loved to wander in as a child, especially along an old abandoned road called the "Stone Path" highway. Some 40 years after reading the book for the first time, I respectfully disagree with this hero of mine about some stone "fences," but that's okay. He does define the typical ones so well while it's the atypical I'm looking at, the stone rows that don't fit his descriptions, the ones that perhaps go back much further in time... These drawings below do tell a story, but the landscape is much older than that. Sloane, somewhere or other in his writings, admitted he knew very little about Indians (while living in Kent, CT - not far from the Schaghticoke Reservation - his house now a Museum, if I'm not mistaken). The 'pristine wilderness' and 'virgin forests' are really myths; it was called Turtle Island by the civilization that actively maintained the landscape, created the abundance of resources that seemed like wonders to the early Europeans. Many modern writers suggest that the land was more of a widowed landscape in the wake of the epidemics that wiped out up to 90% of the Native American Population, descriptions of Indians and their way of life and impact on the landscape more like describing the behavior of survivors after a Holocaust rather than an accurate description of a Civilization that modified the Landscape with little negative impact rather than - well, what we have and what we face in the future, as the ice caps melt, laws passed to make the amount of mercury in the fish more acceptable and phrases like "clean coal technologies" or 'safe nuclear power' pop up in what passes for news stories bursting out of strange electric powered boxes of all sorts and sizes - as if repeating something often enough will make it true... I think I'll post this and then do some drawings 0f a landscape as I imagine it looked back in 1556- in other words, make an escape back into the past...
In recent years, many traditional woodworkers have become very well acquainted with names like Roubo, Besson and Diderot. Through their writings and drawings, we find a very real link to our counterparts of past centuries. But there is another name that should be remembered. Eric Sloane influenced several generations of woodworkers and tool collectors with his wit, his…

A good deal of the success with hotbeds is due to the careful selection of the manure. Cold manure, like that of cows and pigs, should never be used because it will not heat. Horse manure is best, but in this case at least one-third of the bulk should be straw. If pure manure is used, it will pack too tightly when firmed, so that it will not heat. If possible, the manure from grain-fed, straw-bedded horses should be used.

"Dirt" is what you scrape off your shoes "Soil" is what you plant in -- @DSAldridge One topic I'm passionate about is soil health, because as I've learned in class and from personal experience again and again and again: Soil is such a key part of growing! I obviously can't cover every aspect of soil health, structure and…
