Kendra:
It sounds as if you have a lot of good information about worms, gardening and
weaving. I really appreciate you wanting to share your knowledge with the rest
of us.
This list does tend to be pretty quiet, I'm not sure how many members we have.
I know I would enjoy more discussion as I always learn from others. For
example, when I decided to get chickens, Susan was very helpful and answered
many questions.
Since I've been on the list there have been discussions on all things equine,
farm animals, gardening, crafts and some cooking. There seems to be a mix of
people who have agriculture related jobs and hobbiest. I'm not sure if
hobbiest is even a word!
I believe there have also been a few discussions on adaptive techniques and
such.
I for one would like to see more activity here, so suggested topic discussions.
I'm not sure how the other members feel, so would appreciate some feed back.

> Hi all, It sounds like there is a strong interest in organic gardening,
> worms and looms. Before I pass around knowledge, I need a good place to
> start. What do you want to know about worms? Are you looking for what they
> do in the gardening or are you wanting to know the best ways to take care of
> them? Since I am still doing research on worms myself, I know that there is
> more than what meets the senses in the world of worms. Giving me a place to
> start will help me help anyone on this list that is interested in the worm
> farming field.
> I work at a place called Sunnyside Organics which is a non-proffet
> orgunization that teaches any one who has a disadvantige in today's sosiety
> job skills through gardening. In other words, they grow people right along
> with their plants and in my case, worms. I only started there last spring so
> I can mostly give what I know from what I experienced there for almost the
> last year. They will help individuals that are teenagers and older. What do
> you want to know about organic gardens? Are you looking for plants or
> something else? Are you also looking for places to research the plants that
> you might concider planting in your garden? I am still learning organic
> gardening as well as I am with worms. The good news is that even the most
> skilled experts in gardening can't learn it all simply because there are
> many plants and a number of factors that can mess up even their best grown
> plants. Again, I will need a place to start so that I can give you the best
> help that I can.
> Someone suggested that we give out a list of topics that we can pass on the
> information for monthly conversations and another list with topics of
> interest.
> I can pass on knowledge on organic gardening and information about worms.
> Since I have only been on this list since last October and it has been very
> quiet since then, can you please help me out by listing what's covered on
> this list? Then, I can pick and choose best of what I want to learn. Thank
> you!
> Now, I am going to turn to the conversation about looms. The loom that I
> have is a wooden loom for weaving rag rugs that you can stand on after you
> take a shower. It is a wooden frame with bars made of metal sign posts on
> two sides of it. The bars are held down with eye hooks or simular. The other
> two sides have nails on it to hold the metereal that I weave my rug around
> in place. It is very low tech and it doesn't require any electricity to use
> this loom. I weave strips of recycled metereals like old sheets and old
> pillow cases which is what is used to make the rag rugs that I weave.
