DAY 1

So this project started as all other projects here seem to start...nothing happened. for about the first hour.

i had previously mentioned the idea to the employees of the Minestario de Agricultura and they seemed enthused. they are about six or seven and work in a broken down cement little buildind. but behind it there is a huge walled in yard with nothing but grass and weed growing. this just didnt seem right seeing as how they were the headquarters for agricultura in my town.

and so the idea popped in my head that this would be an ideal place to create a demonstration permagarden. and whynot, lets just throw in a little lombricultura on the side.

this morning was the morning to start and as i entered the office it was plainly obvious that nobody had remembered and that the ganas just werent there. i asked who wanted to help me get started and all i got was `with what? or that? the ground is really hard`and that was it!! so i took it upon myself to search the town for an asada or hoe. and finally found one i could borrow.

i rode with it and a rake on my bike back to headquarters to get the whole thing started and in motion....
