Fruit trees can grow nicely near irrigation ditches, creek, streams, rivers, or any body of water. They also provide us and our pets and livestock with some tasty treats all year long. If you haven't planted a fruit tree before, visit Sacred Earth Garden's blog to watch a how-to video.
It's Arbor Day tomorrow, and time to plant more trees to help offset our carbon footprint. But, where should you plant them? How about planting some trees along a fenceline, an irrigation ditch, or along the creek where your crops grow or livestock graze? We all know that our livestock needs shade just as much as we do. While our crops don't need the shade, they do benefit from more moisture in the soil. Planting trees around the sides of our crop fields helps to prevent erosion and hold moisture in the soil. Trees can also act as a snow break in the winter to keep the more snow on the field and less blowing in the wind. Trees offer us welcome relief from the Sun, too.

While Stalking Wolf's prophecies do not seem to be related to Earth Day celebrations and other activities, they actually are. These prophecies, and the many who are similar to them, speak to us of choices. NOW is the time in which we must make our choices that will create a world with a future as opposed to a world without a future. We will also concede that in the many years of channeling and vision experiences that we have had through the Healing Arts Center, we have also received information that is very much in line with Stalking Wolf's prophecies. We must make choices, both individually and collectively, and act upon those choices. The time for "paying lip service" to making changes is no more. It is time to BE the change! We have posts up on the Sacred Earth Gardens blog area on using ducks for insect control and goats for noxious weed control. Check them out before you pull the toxic sprays out!
Farming with horses has gotten much more comfortable than it used to be. Better equipment is available today, too. Did you know that using a tractor to farm with releases 122 pounds of CO2 per acre? Using a draft horse to farm that same acre would reduce the emissions to 21.5 pounds - provided that the feed for the horse was "petro-produced". If the feed for the horse was produced using draft horse power, the CO2 emissions would be cut to zero.
