The web is a vast vat of knowledge. Anything can be found if you are diligent in the pursuit; however, things are just as easily lost. With so much information, it is difficult to remember where things are. So here are the results of some of my wanderings.
Resources
- Dave's Garden - Far and away the best gardening site I've seen. Includes forums for every type of gardening you can imagine - vegetable, flower, tomato, morning glories, seed starting, composting, etc. - but also forums on sustainable living, farming, market gardening and other topics of interest and of use for people wishing to live closer to the earth. In addition, there is an awesome plant and insect/bug database. A kind and gentle site that does not tolerate flaming, rudeness or personal attacks - truly a place where the Spirit of the Gardener can flourish.
- Territorial Seeds - Well organized website, good selection of open pollinated seed. I have personally ordered from them on several occations and the seed is quite viable. I never use all the seeds in a particular packet and their seed stays viable for several years.
- USDA National Agricultural Library (NAL) Sustainable Ag Publications - Lots of interesting things here. One of the things that can be found are some profiles of people practicing sustainable agriculture. Our tax dollars doing something useful.
- Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education - Yes, more useful stuff from the government!
- National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service - ok, and one last government web site. In fact, this is the one that got me started down the road to sustainability.
- Journey To Forever - Their aim is to "help people fight poverty and hunger, and to help sustain the environment we all must share." They have articles both about their project and "How To" articles for farmers, for the organic gardener and more. Worth checking out.
- WindPower - one person's adventure with small scale wind power generation. Includes lots of "How To" info.
