A big yuck to Mary Jane Butters
I am really put off by the supposedly green Ms. Butters, who calls her catalog of dried organic food powder a "magazine" and her New York business manager a "literary agent." Just about the most ridiculous attempt to co-opt environmentalism for a green-tinted consumerism that I have ever seen. Yuck, yuck, yuck.On A quick read on green lifestyle magazines posted 1 year, 4 months ago 13 Responses

I keep asking people...
Does Colony Collapse Disorder affect hives that are not moved around in trucks, or is the problem limited to the commercial type of hive that is hired to pollinate a field and then leave?
Or is anyone tracking the non-commercial hives? It seems like a key bit of information.On Honeybee hives in U.S. seeing continued decline, survey says posted 1 year, 6 months ago 10 Responses

Let's hear it for Barbara Damrosch
B.D. issued the ultimate challenge to the post-consumer gardener, one I have been trying to meet ever since. I'm paraphrasing, but it was something like, "You know, once you own good tools and understand something about seed saving, you can actually garden year after year without spending anything at all."
She's my favorite crunchy role model. Above challenge was issued in 2004 or 2005, I think. I don't think she really meant for people to go all radical non-consumerist, just chill out on the unnecessary garden-related gadgets, but it really made an impression on me.On A bright trend for dark times: kitchen gardening posted 1 year, 6 months ago 26 ResponsesClick here to view comment in original post
Hole in the Middle
Ok, good. Keep it coming. My partners and I can grow, and shill, and talk to other growers, but to get something like this going we need models. Thanks.On To make local food more accessible, time to revive mid-sized farms posted 1 year, 6 months ago 10 Responses
