I've got an idea I'd like to share however I don't know if its already been done or not. Doing a search netted 0 results but that may just be the way I did the query. Any other ways other than going through all of them?

Are you looking for a specific idea posted, or whether a general concept of an article has been submitted?

If the latter, you just have to search. There are over a thousand published ideas so searching is the only real way. But also, even if the idea was submitted before, I don't that as a reason not to republish the same concept again. Your take on it might be different than a previous poster.

Did you click on Community Ideas on the left-hand side of any page on the site and then use the search box at the top of that page ("Search ideas")? Just search for a keyword or two from your own idea. If you can't find anything, chances are that no one has written about it yet.

Thanks Dave and Zuzu, I'll try the community search otherwise I'll go ahead and submit it.

Dave created a feature that I really like: http://garden.org/rand.php

Each time you go there, you see a different random plant photo, random multi-plant photo, and a random Idea.

Like spin-the-bottle!
