GOBRADIME is great! I am going to modify it a little for the focus of my company, Global Energy Solutions (I am just going to add Love ... what do I love? how can I express love?) and make it GLOBRADIME ... easier for me to remember and hopefull reminds me to always engage my heart as well as my mind. What you have shared in your book has been a real gift me, Heather. Warmly, Nathaniel

Hi Heather!

I am reading your book, 'food not lawns' tonight for my class in Social Justice at the Bainbridge Graduate Institute in Washington Sate. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration and information! I feel like you are giving me a radical rooting that I need. I am excited to start implementing your ideas in a community where I spend a lot of time on the Washington coast. If you ever feel like saying 'hi', please feel welcome to do so anytime through either of my (not so great, yet) company websites ...
www.boulevard-development.com or www.sustainablecommunityenergy.com.

Thanks again, Nathaniel

Victory gardens worked in World War II they will work better today now that we have better irrigation, seeds, fertilizer and pest control methods.

When I bought a house on very tight clay that developer had carelessly scarped off the topsoil I put down some sand, perlite, manure, peat-moss, gypsum, 10-10-10 and 35-0-0 fertilizer on top of the Bermuda grass then ran a rototiller over it twice to make sort of a soil. I put down some leaky pipe for drip irrigation on top of the ground and covered over with black cloth mulch that let water trough but not light so the Bermuda grass and weeds didn't grow and had one of the best gardens in the neighborhood that year. On such a small plot I had to be very careful and not put down too much fertilizer. Having farmed most of my life it helped to know how far apart the prills should be.

Most of us, myself included tend to put way too much fertilizer and pesticide on small patches of ground such as our lawns and gardens.

I am going to raised beds and haul in better dirt. I plan to us removable insulation for better heat control of the soil.

The great part of a garden is you can use any amount of technology you want and get good results.

Awesome stuff! I am a huge fan of not having a lawn, and to grow your own food!

Please update the site and keep this great information flowing.
