After talking with Abby, I put some additional bedding in the worm bin and that seemed to work, at least as a quick fix till I have time to do a better job. So today is one month since I’ve changed how I eat and live. It’s rewarding, but holy SHIT is it annoying. I completely understand why I always ate out of convenience before - this is time-consuming and difficult. Maybe it’s just my schedule, maybe it’s one of a hundred possible other things, but I feel as though I’m constantly rushing. I felt that before, yes, but it’s become much more pronounced because now food has taken its own special place in my day next to work and whatever miscellaneous side-projects I have going on at the moment.
I’m not saying I’m about to give up, but I am saying it can be pretty frustrating. I think part of the allure of AVM for me was what seemed to be the more focused, deliberate life of the author while undertaking a locavore diet. However, her whole life was devoted to this concept - a lifestyle like this, in my opinion could be very fulfilling if it was not juggled with the now traditional “modern” lifestyle of never resting. I like the idea of tuning in your own lifestyle with a more laid-back cycle of plant growth. That doesn’t really seem possible for me right now. alas and alack.
My zucchini poked their heads out of the dirt in their peat pots, so they win the trophy for first to…poke their heads out of the dirt in their peat pots.
