Re: free range gardening
Guinea fowl are popular here in Australia - apparently they don't scratch the garden but will pick out bugs to eat off the plants - and they chase snakes away -- I guess they're good pet/guard birds, I don't know what their laying is like though.

Re: Benefits of longer term crop rotation
Yes good observation - and this is what will happen when we run out of fossil fuels, if nothing else can replace them

Re: Benefits of longer term crop rotation
Oh I agree but at least now there's a comprehensive scientific study that supports it - so it's got to be pretty hard for various organisations to denyThe Riff-Raff Element wrote:I think this is called "re-inventing the wheel"

Pineapples
I've just noticed one of my pineapple plants is fruiting (or is that vegetabling??) - this is the first time one of them has done that - any idea how long they take to mature. I'm in Brisbane, Australia - just heading into spring and summer now - presumably it would be till late summer? Also the pla...

Re: New members please read
Just getting back to the original post is there a way to integrate your time zone with your location? It would be interesting if when someone posts, the amount of hours difference between where they are and where the reader is reading from was displayed? I'm probably pushing the coding too far :lol:...

Benefits of longer term crop rotation
Has anyone seen there was a study recently completed by Iowa State University that concluded improved yields can be gained by longer crop rotation cycles that virtually removes the need for any fertiliser and chemicals. I'll quote a bit from the article in the New York Times; The study was done on l...

Re: New version of free-economy.org now launched
Hi Rachel - yes the original idea was to have something like that - but I thought not everyone would know their longitude and latitude - and we couldn't' find a list for enough towns in the world to make it worthwhile. However it's still a good idea and I think we need to bring in some kind of combi...

New version of free-economy.org now launched
Hi guys I've now got the new version of the free-economy site launched http://www.free-economy.org - there'll be various bugs etc that will probably need ironing out - but most of the new features are all there. These include accounts and saved searches - and the ability to define projects. So for i...

Re: Freecycle (love it)
Years ago (in the late 90's) I had an idea very similar to freecycle - but I didn't know how to implement it - a few years later a friend told me about freecycyle and I founded one of the first freecycle groups in Australia. Things started slowly and then took off quite quickly - and we rapidly beca...

Re: The Free Economy v2.0 - Explorer, Firefox and Safari
I've given the front page a bit of a work over - the essential coding for the database is still the same - but if anyone notices any problems could you please let me know. There is now also a google group as the official discussion page for the project -- but here is fine as well :hugish: Scot :-)
