Originally hail from northern mountains of Pakistan but have lived in the city all my life..read ecological mysteries in my teens. have always loved countryside/wilderness..
I always thought of joining a movement to restore the balance that we have ruined with commercial farming, chemical warfare against fellow pests etc. Lawton gave words/path to this lifelong aspiration. (actually was amazed that the idea's been there for so long n i didnt know :(
I have tried to be organic many times but every time fail n the insects win. Last year was bent on growing pure organic vegetables but again was overrun by pests/fungus. I don't plan to quit anytime soon though.(pesty streak my mum says) Need native help n m planning to enroll in a Perma course to get mentoring as I've learnt wd experience that education alone doesn't fix anything.
