The Cooperative Economy @cooperatives.bsky.social · 3d

Economic democracy provides the foundation for a more equitable distribution of wealth. This directly safeguards political democracy by limiting the power of concentrated wealth.

Worker cooperatives, as one expression of economic democracy, actively support a more equitable and democratic world.

The vast majority of worker
cooperatives have maintained a 2 to 1 pay ratio between highest paid and lowest paid workers.

Worker cooperatives prioritize the reduction of internal inequality over other compensation goals. By contrast, the average large U.S. corporation has a CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 303-to-1.

Cure your onions for a couple of weeks until the necks are papery & dry, but aim to braid them while the long green tops are still flexible. If you let the tops get completely brittle, they will snap as you weave them. You need them dry, but still pliable, for a strong, lasting braid. #onions

As you clear your summer veg beds, don't leave them bare! Now is the time to feed your soil for next year by adding a thick layer of well-rotted manure. No need to dig it. Cover with cardboard to suppress weeds & let the winter worms work their magic, pulling the nutrients down for you. #Allotment

Harvesting maincrop carrots?
Avoid disappointment!
What can go wrong?
🥕 Forked roots = stony or unrotted soil.
🥕 Split roots = uneven watering after a dry spell.
🥕 Woody heart = lack of water.
For a perfect harvest, ensure loose soil and water consistently! #GrowYourOwn #Carrots #GardeningTips
