Urban WWOOFer: Gaining Expertise



I am an expert.  I am a domestic expert.  Two words we do not hear often enough compounded.


I just received an email from a friend of mine who is currently doing a Master's at Princeton.  "Hey Alex, I really need composting advice, please help!"  


First of all, what a compliment!  She had an ecological woe and her first thought was 'go to Alex, the keeper of earthy knowledge!'  


After her description of her composting woes, I was able to give her a solid diagnosis of what she needed to change.  She will have a Princeton education, but as far as I'm concerned, the sharability of knowledge is what determines its value.  


I'll take my compost education over a Princeton diploma, any day!
