July 11, 2012: Hard Soil

Our first soil test came back. Composite 3 out of 100.
Mathematically, we could have been infinitely worse.
But in any school, that’s a failure.

Three years now, we’ve blessed the land.
Manure. Compost. Worms. Wood chips. Spoiled hay. Minerals. Manure.

The land gains in richness, fertility, health.

I wonder if God cries over his hard soil.
For the weeds.
For the wild plants.
The unproductive.

It’s not easy being a gardener.
