St. Patrick: Ireland�s first organic farmer?

St patrick: ireland�s first organic farmer? Let's assess the evidence:
He wore green�and funny hats�and had a long beard.... St. Patrick, the holy and tutular man His beard down his bosom like Aaron�s ran... overall, he was a bit of a middle class hippy kid drop out: �His father Calpornius held both civic and clerical offices when Patrick was born to him in the late fourth century (c. A.D. 390)�
He was a sheep farmer...well, he was more like a WWOOFer on a sheep farm really - he wasn't paid for his work, what with being taken as a slave and all that.... He preached about the merits of clover - a sure sign of proto-organic farming research, eh?
He was a bit of an anti-establishment rebel - the shamrock was a symbol of rebellion.....
He was a blow in�from the nearest island�probably welsh or english....like many of the homesteaders of the 1970s
He drove out pests without using pesticides (well, there weren�t any � it was a well run well integrated organic system...some claim that snakles can�t live in fields of shamrock, and shamrock is a remedy for snake venom....see previous link)
He fused Pagan and Christian and was well into nature�new agey and old skoll�.he integrated with what was there and brought in new ideas�see this line from st patrick�s breastplate: (which, to be fair, he probably didn�t write) �arise today Through the strength of heaven: Light of sun, Radiance of moon, Splendor of fire, Speed of lightning, Swiftness of wind, Depth of sea, Stability of earth, Firmness of rock.� Not a hint of agri-industrial inputs there, eh?
In fact, he was probably biodymanic by the sounds of it....So as we approach the great green day, remember Pat was probably the first man to sing from the organic hymnsheet...happy greenday!
