It may sound strange, but recently I’ve been thinking a lot about hay. Yeah, that hay. Not an acronym or a new tech or app… just… hay.
Now, before you conclude that I’ve come off my rocker completely… not sayin’ that I haven’t (weird eyebrow raise)… let me preface with this: much of the aforementioned pondering took place in our kitchen, whilst looking o’er our flower beds.
And, until very recently, upon looking out on said beds, an exposed, desiccated soil met my eyes.
Influenced by permaculturists, naturalists and organic farmers, soil-related thoughts swirled through my head. Meanwhile, poor soil wellness lay before me.
“This soil impoverishment is a travesty! It must be rectified!” As I seethed, the thought flashed in my brain:
“Hay, man!”
