Wow what a great bundle of resources! Quick question: are the ebooks mostly PDFs and are any of them available in ePub format?

I've watched the video you mentioned so your post caught me eye.
I'm waiting to see if someone else here will suggest a source for the rolled corrugated paper. I can't imagine it being very expensive.

Hi Judson,
It sounds like your book would be helpful to me by presenting an easy-going approach to getting and preparing the best, healthiest food possible.
This is a "hot button" topic for everyone these days as we become more aware of the role and the importance of the many nutrients in food in its natural, non-industrialized, state.

Hey!
I found out SO MUCH about pollination by having various winter squash in my garden...
The next year I learned about their root systems and how to dig a pit for extra compost for them...
Aaaand so it goes. Squash.

I too have had great results with squash. Much of the seed I use comes from saving seeds from my own harvest.
It's enjoyable to see the vines produce the little baby squashes and then watch them balloon into full grown, basically displaying the magic of gardening right in front of me.
I love butternut squash...

Hi everybody,
We finally found a cat litter that doesn't get tracked all over creation by the cat: It's pellets made from crushed walnut shells.
Second benefit: It also absorbs odours exceptionally well.
Third benefit: (fingers crossed) I'm hoping it is compostable. I'm trying it out as a part of my compost pile. The used pellets break down into a sort of sawdust. The cat poop is easily scooped out. For me this would be a win-win-win. Nothing bugs me more than throwing heavy bags of clay-based compost into the garbage.

Does anyone want to weigh in on how those walnut shell pellets will affect my compost?
Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,  
This  grain grinder looks a lot sexier than my mixer attachment. Welcome to our discussion!

 I'm inspired to use some beautiful plates I have that I never use for this -

What a brilliant idea!

Hey Julia Winter, do you have a copy of the plan for the stove, especially the bottom section where the firebox is?

Most of the trees in my food forest are grafted very low and then the graft has been covered with as much soil as possible to encourage the trees to send out their own roots above the graft.

Sorry, but my understanding of grafting is when a cutting from one tree is attached to an existing tree that is well-rooted. The graft doesn't develop its own roots. I think I'm just misunderstanding you.

I don't understand what you mean by:
- grafted very low
- covering the graft with as much soil as possible
- encouraging the trees to send out their own roots above the graft
