So, we're taking steps together to live better! We've got a huge backyard garden - this will be our fourth year with it. We're learning by trial and error and with research - which is how I came across the site to begin with!

I was trying to figure out which was which and how they showed up, so I appreciate you letting me know!

I am LOVING the site! I was actually thinking of creating a blog about my new garden when I realized I can do that all here on this site, and I can network with like-minded folks as well!!

I do have some pics of my chicken coops and the like, but i haven't entirely mastered this place. I've blogged about chickens quite a bit here though: http://www.grit.com/blogs/blog.aspx?blogid=184

I hope it's OK to post that link since it is at the place where I work. But I will try to post some pics and other poultry stuff here soon. I might post some Mulefoot hog stuff too.

Thanks again.
Hank

I'm not totally raw right now but as the weather warms up I tend to jump back into it full force. I am really looking forward to learning and contributing on Homegrown! :) -Janie

At 3:00am on February 10, 2010, M.R. Bauermeister said…: Thanks. I do rely on ACGA for a lot of my inquiries. I was just wondering if anyone out there may have info on their local policies. For instance, how does your community/city government approach community gardens?

I think you remember me talking about EM - Effective Micro-organisms. I also mentioned using Bokashi in the compost to ferment it. Here is a web-site...
http://www.cityfarmer.org/bokashi.html
There are lots of different sites. Bokashi has EM in it and that is what drives it. I am still reading 2 books - An Earth Saving RevolutionI and II by Teruo Higa.

I will try that when I get a moment. I am already in touch with a member from Rockhampton, Australia, so all is good.
Thanks again

At 6:37pm on January 29, 2010, Rosalee Littrell said…: Hi Cornelia, I wanted to thank you for your welcome at the beginning of Jan. I have become more familiar with the groups and have joined the S.F. group. We are on a Ranch about 75 miles north of S.F. but are still considered the Bay area.
I cant find a group about spinning and weaving with our own home grown wool. Does one exist? We have our own Merino sheep and after we have had them sheared I wash, card, spin and crochet or weave items, like hats, scarves and woven shawls.
also what about a group about animals like chickens and sheep?
Thanks Rosalee

At 5:05pm on January 28, 2010, Robert Fenton said…: Hi Cornelia. I would love to share my process. Are you familiar with the Natick Community Farm? My good friend Ursula works there developing school programs.
