Ruth Stout - interview footage from late 1970s

[Maureen Temme]

I have to post just the url - http://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/    - because I don't trust myself with the ability to post a more direct link.  Scroll down to a January 23 or 24, 2012 entry for some film footage of Ruth Stout. I hope you are as delighted as I am to see her!

Ruth Stout wrote about organic gardening, no tillage vegetable gardening and deep mulch way back in the 1960s.  She wrote for publications like Mother Earth News, which was then in its own infancy.  I read some of Stout's books before The Internetever came along ... and I never thought to go looking for film footage of this woman, whose "voice" is so often with me in my own garden.  Well!  Jenna Woginrich, writer of Cold Antler Farm blog, has posted two parts of an interview with Ruth Stout, in her garden, filmed when Stout was over 85 years old.  I think she lived into her 90s. 

Very best regards!  Maureen
