Easiest Solar Oven Design!
Hi All,

Healthier Eggs - Study Finds Pasture Eggs more Nutritious!
I'm sure many of you know that the eggs from your backyard flock are much healthier than the conventional factory-farm egg, but now we have some indication of how much better!
Testing done by Mother Earth News in 2007 concluded that most of the eggs currently sold in supermarkets are nutritionally inferior to eggs produced by hens raised on pasture.
Compared to official U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for commercial eggs, eggs from hens raised on pasture (that would include… Continue

Brett Major said… - Hi Liz,
I have been out of town for the entire summer for work, so I haven't been able to make it to any of the classes. I am planning on signing up for some classes this fall and I am going to move a large portion of my garden to the front yard (my dog was a little too interested in the one I planted in the back yard). I have a lot to learn still, but the resources on this site are incredible...I have learned so much just by reading about other peoples' successes/failures/lessons. Many thanks again for introducing me to this group!
(My company, Ernst & Young, sponsors a charity/club on a quarterly basis. This quarter, it is the Permaculture Guild...I'm looking forward to taking part in that!)

- My dad watered when we were in MT and most stuff wasn't looking to good when we returned. Most of the zucchini have given up. The tomatoes are still looking good, but not as tasty. The herbs and cucumbers are doing well and the citrus are looking pretty sharp.
How about your garden? We need to get together!!

- Hi All,
For those of you who are looking for the planting calendars I mentioned on the radio this morning, please enter "planting calendar" into the search function at the top right of the web page. You can find it under the entry "Low Desert Planting & Harvest Calendar". If that doesn't work, please don't hesitate to email me!
Cheers, Liz

So it sounds like I should use some topsoil mixed with compost, correct? Since I'm not digging anything out, I don't have extra soil. I know that I can get topsoil from a landscape supplier like Pioneer.
