You have to stack these as you go. I also used a lot of straw around my potatoes, but they are in ground and that help increase the organic material in the soil.buckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577295551267695844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748626137030348790.post-60385470076681238472015-08-04T12:06:36.602-07:002015-08-04T12:06:36.602-07:00Hi Bill,
That's a really interesting question....Hi Bill,<br />That's a really interesting question. I think the most pertinent influences on Woolman in terms of "motion" as an idiom for spiritual activity and leadings would come from the larger spiritualist tradition he and other Quakers resonated with. Some early Quakers used the term in the way Woolman did (e.g. Howgill and Dewsbury), as did Woolman's peers (e.g. Churchman and Benezet). We can also see it in the Quietists (e.g. Guyon and Fenelon). All of these sources provided a rich spiritual field from which Woolman could craft his own language in innovative ways.<br /><br />Also, thanks for the heads up that there seems to be no easy way to contact me from this blog. I'll try to figure out how I am supposed to do that!Jon R Kershnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847745773028620147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748626137030348790.post-58867185350233568202015-08-04T08:54:22.402-07:002015-08-04T08:54:22.402-07:00I have a question a bit tangential to this essay. ...I have a question a bit tangential to this essay. Where did John Woolman's "idiom" come from? For example. the "motion of love" is not, as far as I know, a biblical phrase. I suspect that many other expressions of his also are not directly biblical. Did he find his linguistic idiom in Quietism? If not, then from whence? I tried to find a way to ask this question of you privately, but was unsuccessful!Bill Rushbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579099372065932809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748626137030348790.post-57386030247054353542015-08-03T07:20:08.354-07:002015-08-03T07:20:08.354-07:00Yes, Bill, I've read that account, too.

It brings new perspective to the life and witness of John Woolman.<br /><br />I read, in the memoirs of an older Philadelphia woman Friend, that she despaired of going to meeting because it had snowed so heavily and the walkways had not bean cleared. "Out of the blue," John Woolman showed up at her door and shoveled a path all the way to the meetinghouse! <br />She was able to attend meeting after all! I suspect that John never told anyone a thing about what he had done.Bill Rushbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579099372065932809noreply@blogger.com
