I want to start my own organic garden with produce and such, but I am a college student and would have to wait until spring break to start (around mid-March). Any suggestions for how I would go about doing it? I could use any information! Thanks!
Thanks for all the information, everybody! :)

Pastor Chad from JesusFreak.com asked:


I’m working on a newspaper story about organic gardening and I’m trying to get an overview of the history of corporate farming in the U.S. and some of the big-name corporations normally associated with corporate farming, since it seems that the increasing emphasis on organic gardening and farming is, to a large degree, a reaction against corporate farming. Any resources anyone could point me to would be greatly appreciated.
It’s not bursting my bubble, Nickthaniel, I’m just doing research. We journalists have to be objective. :-)

Kennedy 2 asked:


Over a year ago my good friend wrote a great gardening book but it got a bad review. I think it was partly because the title of the book was misleading. My friend said that she had a contract that gave the right to name her book to the publisher. She says it’s common. Have any authors heard of this? I would think an author would have the right to name her own book.

So, the title didn’t really describe the book content and actually made it seem like the book was about a specific topic, which was only covered in the first chapter (annuals). The book was about organic gardening practices for the home gardener and mostly about lawn, tree, and shrub care. But there was a small bit about typical garden center annuals in the beginning of the book.

Anyhow, the book got a bad review and it was posted on Amazon. It was clear that the reviewer simply did not read more than the title or perhaps the first few pages of the book and totally missed the what the book was about. The review made it seem foolish to write about organic gardening with annuals– when 9/10ths of the book was about perennials. The review was unsigned so my friend could not do anything about it. But it’s the first thing anyone sees.

Sales have been poor and I think it’s because of the bad review and misleading title. My question: there have been some average reader reviews posted that are very positive and seem a lot more accurate than the professional one at the top of the Amazon page. But my friend is convinced that people do not read the reader’s reviews and has begged me not to post a snarky review blasting the pro review at the top. But it seems like someone should correct a blatant error.

Do people read Amazon reader reviews? Would a rebuttal help or hurt?

I ran for state rep with the Green party in the last election.
I have been involved in political events, volunteering for campaigns, etc as soon as I was old enough to vote.
I eat meat but only free range and sparingly.
I volunteer with wildlife conservation groups like The Nature Conservancy and the Sierra Club
I refuse to shave my legs or armpits and I am a woman.
I am slightly overweight and I feel great about my figure.
I love to be outdoors hiking and camping but in a tent or cabin and with no electricity.
I truly love friends I have made on the internet that I talk with regularly on the phone but have yet to meet in person. I also have a few good friends that I hang out with in person that I have known for years.
My yard looks like a garden.
If I had friends who hunted and would show me how, I would go with them, especially if they would say a prayer with the animal and be spiritual about it.
I accept all faiths as long as they are respectful of women and children.
I believe in God myself but am not Christian. I am pagan.
My hair (bangs too) has been long since I was little. It has always gone down to the middle of my back. I will fight someone if they try to cut it. I only got it cut when I had lice as a child.
I am 34. I was not alive in the 60’s. LOL
I don’t smoke pot or other drugs.
I love to live off of the land, finding mushrooms while camping and adding them to my meal at camp, etc.
I want to be in a monogamous relationship and would never share my partner.
I would get married but I believe that is not the gov’s business and I do not need a license be married by a priest, reverend, rabbi, etc, that has been recognized by the gov or major organized religion.
I live in a big city and hate it here.
I do only organic gardening on my small plot of land.
I cook my meals outdoors when I can and only burn wood from branches, fallen trees, etc, for cooking the food.
I have a raw milk cowshare.
I make my own clothes and soap.

Hippie?
Treehugger?
Political activist?

I consider myself to be all three but clash with many other people who call themselves this.

Thanks.
