Jamaican Till I Die!

MY land has a rich agricultural history. From being a sugar plantation for decades to planting everything from pineapples to cocoa, potatoes, bananas almost everything you can think of was planted on my land for hundreds of years. All that history has gone into making the soil especially the burning and decomposition of sugar cane which is rich in various minerals and many other nitrogen fixing plants. A section of land was left to the mercy of nature to see how it would naturally evolve overtime. A very big part of Permaculture is to understand the natural evolution of the environment, so one could identify the positives and the negatives. The beneficial and the non-beneficial that make up the ecological system and micro-climate. To observe how it affects the development of the land over time. Nature knows best and is the perfect teacher if we take the time to observe, learn and respect it. We must use nature as a guideline and teacher of true sustainability. Dense Food Forest, ...

As we all know this Government went to the IMF and borrowed US$800 Million, then they went to the Bond market and borrowed an additional US$800 Million, this coupled with the US$850 plus million the last Government borrowed. This PNP Government then decided to add some US$200 Million to prop up the NIR, which I willing to accept since it supposedly represents putting aside money for a rainy day, yeah right (lol).
