Urban farmers and locavores
Hi, Folks,I just read this article and would like to share the link with you. In an indirect way, it is about us and what we are trying to do, but doesn't address at all the issue that brought me to FOOGS, and I guess I've assumed that the safety and nutritive value of our current food supply was the main issue both here locally and overall across the nation (world?).…See More
"Camilo! It's GREAT to hear from you. We always presume you are doing great and it's always great to hear from you. I'm sharing your blog on our Facebook page too! Check in when you can, my friend! :)"
"I neglected to add a message to the friend request, and that is that I have email re: kerrmaculture that I want you to see."

caring for the land -- soil, water, and junipers
Posted on March 11, 2010 at 11:43pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I, too, am bummed that I couldn't make the talk. I have been working on soil and water restoration on our land and I sure would welcome any help or insight. I highly recommend the series even though I have missed most of them.
Is there contact info for the speaker? And is there contact info for Dick Pierce?

winter garden

I like 5 gallon buckets because they are sturdier and easier to move than regular plant pots and I start the plants in the bucket to avoid problems with transplants. And as the photo shows I actually switched to the square buckets (delis and restaurants, mayo, etc) because they are slightly smaller, therefore… Continue

- Hi Camilo!
I am ashamed to admit that I just received your message today (February 5th). I have not logged onto FOOGS in a while.....your message was such a joy to read. Thank you! I am sneaking this in from work so don't have time to chat. Just wanted to apologize for not getting back to you sooner. :)
