I'm looking forward to reading more about your crops, chicks, and worms. And building your own SIPs?!? Wow. If anyone can do this, you can. I learn from your blog everytime I read it. Keep it up - always educating even when not in the academic setting. Antoinette Martha,

I'm one of four women involved. 5000 sq. ft. is already devoted to a CSA, managed by one of my partners. I have plans for 8000 or 9000 sq. ft. for market vegetables and what I'm calling a "subsistence mix." The rest will be gardened by the other two women. We will have traditional crops as well as permaculture areas. More detail to come! Thanks for the best wishes. It is a lot of space.

I hope you'll post photos of some of your projects along with the descriptions. Even of the "delicate" topics like the biodigester. I made a reverse switch from you recently -- left my relationship which involved living in a tiny offgrid homestead cabin -- now I'm in a big grid house, but still trying to keep my footprint minimal and recreate as much of that homestead approach as I can...

Sorry - it's so difficult to find them. Unfortunately that re-blog system isn't set up very well. Hopefully the kinks will be worked out at some point. I know Miranda has a lot going on. At any rate, wanted to thank you for your comments, and to introduce myself. Don't have a lot of time, but I hope to come back and spend a bit of time with your blog over a cup of tea. Our site is here: http://www.elementsintime.com/Blog.html Cheers, Melinda Hi Martha,

I'm your neighbor in Southside Bethlehem & we met at a Contra Dance this summer. I'm working on similar projects and have been trying to find you to see if you want to be involved. This Sun, Feb. 3 there will be a Permaculture Design day for the Maze Garden and we'd appreciate your energy and insight. We're also going to start an afterschool gardening club with New Bethany kids in March...maybe you want to deploy some of your cooking skills? Be in touch! What you’re doing is very exciting!

I searched for it on Amazon, found several places that carried it, and ordered one online. I'm not sure who the vendor was now and don't seem to have a record. The first one I actually found at a Target store in Brooklyn a couple of years ago. These days almost every meal I eat comes out of one or the other or both. Sorry for the abrupt answer!
