Go to www.dirtdoctor.com for info on kelp. I suggest that you garden/farm without buying anything from anybody except seed. Use no-till in permanent beds. Never leave the soil bare and grow your own organic matter using green manure/cover crops. ...

I would use grey water and never give a second thought to it. I cannot find the info in my computer on the two new books [08 I think] but google it and they should come up.

Human and animal waste contains ecoli and to make the statement about it in the washing machine is crazy. A lot of people write articles who know nothing. The latest this week is how much bad there is on some footware. So what?

Fish can be put in the pond. Biological water treatment is a long proven methods. Cities in CA use it. It is my opinion that kitchen, laundry, bath water, other than sewer water, can be used directly in the yard without treatment. I am going to d...

Michelle, tell me in Spanish, I do not understand your English. I am on a number of listservs and never have seen a nastier, more hateful webmaster than you.

I forgot one thing. I will send a FREE dvd on organic, no-till gardening to anyone who emails their postal address to minifarms@gmail.com. Have a nice day.

I do not sell anything. I posted to help people with their gardening. Why don't you remove it and why don't you just block my address. I am out of here forever.

I have been on three listservs for years and receive daily postings but this one is different. I rarely recent postings and so I ignore it. I do not understand how it operates. I had a workshop in San Diego last July. I am on www.nabuur.com helping farmers change to organic, no-till in permanent beds using bucket drip irrigation. I would love to see more of the postings on this listserve.

Hi. Where have you been?

People have started new threads of discussion and abandoned old ones and we're only sent news of the ones we've contributed to.

How does your garden grow? I ate basil thinnings from the plants I'm starting indoors, the first taste of my gardening season.

Thanks for the DVD about no till gardening. I'll curl up with it this afternoon. We haven't heard from you in a while. What's up?

Dear ken,
Thank you for your posts. If you feel so inclined I would love an outline to some of your workshops. My wife is education coordinator at the local arboretum and between us we have been trying to offer formal and informal kitchen garden workshops for the past 2 years. The more I think about it, the more we need to interweave philosophy into our presentations and at the same time get out of the classroom as much as we can. We are starting an edible gardening club this year and it will be interesting to see how it works.

Hello Sumitra, Thankyou for sharing your pictures. Your students are beautiful. I thought of you the other day as I watched a documentary about Nepal on the television.

Hi Sumitra, It is great to see your photos and bee hives. Like you I long for equality for all people on this planet. If all people could grow their own vegetables it would be a great thing. It is very hard to know that lots of people do not have ...

My father-in-law Fred Pond died ten years ago. He loved his garden and I still miss him a lot especially at this time of year when the seed catalogues start arriving. The Pond family lived on a seven acre homestead of sorts in Westford Massachuset...

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

The cooking shows are entertaining, but that's all. Some of my favorite recipes started with notes handed down from family. They're still as good as ever. James Beard, Joy of cooking, and Professional Chefs Manural are good references. I have over...

Donald you lucky to live in an area where you can start a new hive at any time during the year! In New York one could never start a new package in December! =8-o We'd love to see pix of your current hive. :)

Red osier dogwood is just the best plant for this time of year – cut down some branches – you can find them in fields and ditches and then place them in garden pots or containers. Fill the over-season containers with soil to hold the stems. Attach...
