Great one again by Toby!

More on the same topic: I came upon a great presentation (long and with still images though so I'm listening on my iPod instead) by Mark Shepard. It really resonated with me, even more than Toby's presentation actually.

See/listen at http://youtu.be/kb_t-sVVzF0.

Read more about his work and the book he has out at http://www.forestag.com/.

wouldn't it be problematic of building an earthship in utah with all the building codes?

I live in Western Colorado, the lot next to me has what is called Matrimony vine which is really a shrub, and it is a Lycium what one I do not know. They also grow along the Colorado River in back of the Botanical Gardens in Grand Junction. The berries from this plant are really good.

I love seeing the ladybug! I also ready his book and I am trying a winter greenhouse for the first time. I am heating it a little because it is so small that I can't fit the second layer of cover. My problem is, I have created a nice safe warm place for bugs to eat my plants. So I am going to introduce some ladybugs and hope it is warm and moist enough for them to do their job all winter long.

oh wow, I didn't know you replied back until now (3 months later lol). Do you go to world peace gardens or vegetarian society or natural grocers? I'd like to meet you! Maybe you can show my husband and I where one of those springs are?

Hey Jake I live in southern utah too! I just found this site because I've been searching for some near by spring water to collect. So glad that I found someone else with the same ideas! Anyways, just to make this comment relate to the post lol, I'll just say that pollen I think is something that if we were to live healthfully in a forest garden, then we would be ingesting pollen all the time! I think it suppose to be a part of our diet.

Containing eight essential amino acids, recent studies have suggested barley grass can regulate blood sugar for up to 10 hours after ingestion. There's also some evidence pointing to the conclusion that barley grass can help minimize LDL, (bad) cholesterol in certain people.

Re: COLOR AND GROWTH in the GROWING DOME. TOMATOES TOO!

martinaustinx — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 08:54:29 -0000

Well, this one is really one of the coolest post about tomato growing. And the pictures and regarding information of this post really makes me crazy about it. According to me, hydroponic is really one of the coolest way for the same product farming. And I have really the best of experience regarding one. And the products of this type of gardening are really found so organic. And they are really free from pesticides. Thanks for sharing some mind blowing information about it.

Hey Jake cool video I gotta say my favorite part is seeing Jane running around. To think about how far that dog has come from scared starving throw away to a friendly healthy dog its crazy how far she has come. But also I was just wondering what is it that you use the pine pollen for? I am just watching this video at work (dont tell my boss) so the sound isnt really loud. But just wondering what you use it for?
