Reading and research
I enjoy reading and studying scholarly articles and searching the internet about the global economy. Also, I enjoy research about global warming and how to be self sufficient with planting, gardening and harvesting my own vegetables and fruit. I also enjoy getting my own compost to garden with and doing my own composting. I enjoy watching different gardening videos of tips and tricks on how to setup, plant, and grow and harvest more efficiently. I like reading about health and wellness, and cooking recipes.
