By growing

By growing you relise that you know less and less.

A person who wants to be a grower must do three things:

Show in his own allotment what a fertilesed soil can do
Grow for his own table fresh crops from fertile soil.
Maintain the land in good heart. The importance of fertility in the soil and elimination of disease in plants is your daily job. 

The outstanding characteristics of Nature are variety and stability. 
The diversity of the natural life around us is such as to strike even the child's imagery, who notices in the fields and copses near his home, in the ponds and streams and seaside pools round which he plays, or, if being city-born he be robbed of these delightful playgrounds, even in his impoverish back-garden or in the neighbouring park, an perpetual choice of different flowers and plants and trees, hitched with an animal world full of rich diversities and surprises, in fact, a plenitude of the forms of living things composing the first and probably the most powerful opening he will ever undergo into the nature of the natural world of which he is himself a part. 

You are more than yourself.........go dig and learn
