Homegrown Humus: Cover Crops in a No-till Garden
New from the author of the Weekend Homesteader month by month series.
”Cover crops are a simple, cheap way to boost your soil's organic matter, to fight weeds, to prevent erosion, to attract pollinators, and to keep the ecosystem in balance. Unfortunately, most information on growing cover crops is written for people who plow their soil every year and are willing to spray herbicides. You can get all of the same benefits in a no-till garden, though, if you're clever. Homegrown Humus details three no-till winners in depth --- buckwheat, oilseed radishes, and oats. Profiles of other species suggest gardening conditions when you might want to try out sunflowers, annual ryegrass, barley, rye, Austrian winter peas, crimson clover, or cowpeas as well. Meanwhile, the book delves into finding cover crop seeds, planting cover crops in a no-till garden, and easily killing cover crops without tilling or herbicide use. Understanding the C:N ratio of cover crops helps determine how long to wait between killing cover crops and planting vegetables, as well as how to maximize the amount of humus you're adding to your soil.”

”City-raised farmers, locavores, and organic food consumers take note: This compilation of essays, taken from the weekly newsletter of a little veggie farm that sometimes can, documents the various false starts and hard-won achievements of two young farmers as they try to make a living growing organic veggies. With humour and insight, farmer Jordan Marr reflects on the myths, contradictions, and misunderstandings about organic farms and farmers as he takes the farm's customers along on a journey through the farming season. Were the Three Little Pigs misunderstood? Why are local radishes so expensive? How many dead rodents can fit into the pocket of a standard pair of work pants? How many of their hairs should you expect to find in a bar of chocolate? Do organic farmers use sprays or don't they? These are a few of the questions Marr addresses herein.”

The OMMANEY BAY was sunk while the COLUMBIA sustained three hits, wounding Pete.

He suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for thirty-two years. For forty-four years, he contended that the kamikaze pilot was a woman. “

Assignment Prague
“Anton Janak is a dedicated member of the Czechoslovakian Resistance working against the Nazis, and he values anyone who can help his efforts. But when he learns that the young spy sent by the OSS to Prague is a woman, he has misgivings about working with her. He had expected a man—a man who could handle his assignment with the help of Janak and his fellow Resistance workers. It doesn’t take long, however, for Janak to realize the beautiful blonde spy has enough daring and resourcefulness to do what it takes in the occupied city. The Nazis are everywhere, but Tereza’s knowledge of Czech and German allows her to fit right in.…The bond that develops between them can only be destroyed by death, but that’s a real possibility for covert activists in Nazi-occupied Prague.”

Shaw's investigation leads him to Africa, where he learns of the existence of The Directorate and their strategy of confrontation with China. He also learns of a global resistance movement, intent on winning what is nothing less battle for the future of humanity…”
