Begun to list permaculture learning ops within North America. I eventually would like to extend it to international listings. In the process I've found some great pages to link to, and I feel good to see so much is going on along the west coast of North America at least. What I didn't stumble upon was a comprehensive guide to Permie educational opportunities. There are listings here and there but nothing all inclusive, so I feel this page has something valuable to offer.

I think this will be an ongoing project, so I will appreciate listings, links and suggestions.

My roomate came home with a hyacinth today. Ahh spring is here. To celebrate I spent Saturday in the garden, tidying, sorting cleaning, dreaming about what my garden beds will look like four months from now.

Thinking about soil amending on all levels, for my own plot, which thrives on table scraps, and for an article I have to write about container gardening. The newsletter's readership is for a type of busy professional who is likely going to want to buy soil. Asking them to get their hands dirty seems already a big step. What friendly store bought soil can I recommend?
