Dave/Trish, been thinking about DG and some of my favorite forums there. I have either emailed or dmailed KentNC about coming over here and starting a Strawbale Gardening forum and PuddlePirate about the same for a Soil and Composting forum. These two have been above and beyond in their knowledge and dedication to their respective areas of interest. Just what you'd want in a moderator. Don't know if they'll take the bait, if they don't I think those two would still be a great addition to a brand spankin' new gardening website!! The Strawbale Gardening forum is what got me to be a subscriber to DG in the first place.

Doug

We need a Fruits forum please.

PuddlePirate already dmailed me back jumping at the chance!

Here I am! Where's the nearest patch of craptastic dirt that needs fixing?

I used to frequent the Strawbale gardening forum, and loved it! When folks talk about not being able to do as much gardening, I always direct them there.

Hmm ... I'm not familiar with Strawbale gardening but I'd love to read and learn about it ... and we definitely need a Soil/Composting Forum!

Come on down to Kentucky PP, I'm sure I could find plenty of dirt for you to fix!!! Better have 4 wheel drive on that chair though!

Doug

I want an article about it.

Kathy, Soil or Strawbale Gardening?

Doug

I meant strawbale gardening but why not both! The whole ATP could learn that way.

I can do an article on SB gardening but soil would take a ton of pages to cover unless PP could condense and still make it sensible.

Doug

Meh. Four wheel drive's for sissies. Gimme mountain bike tires on my chair & I'm set.

Do what makes sense, Doug. (I'm just kibitzing here.)

Good grief. A single article on Soil 101? It'd be more like a novel than an article.

You could do a real 101 course with weekly articles and homework!

I want to be the one who gets to grade the tests! I willingly take bribes..

Doug

Cool!

Kent has passed on being a moderator for a future SB Gardening forum so I guess I'll volunteer for that and for writing an article on just what it entails.

Doug

Y'know who we need here? Darius.

Yes she would be good on soil. But be careful recruiting from DG. IB may not take too kindly to that. I took a chance with you but if you noticed I didn't leave a complete URL in case they were watching for tags in the Dmail.
