Will have to rummage, and see what gems you have found or developed. BTW, have you read James A Duke's "Handbook of Edible Weeds" ISBN 0-8493-4225-2 ? I thoroughly recommend it.

Looking forward to seeing how it develops and the great works that will no doubt be generated and/or supported as a result (those we'll hear about and the probably many more that we won't - that will just happen...).

I was just talking with a truck driver from a company called Superior Oil Master Recycling who are a division of the recently merged Smorgons and they collect used veggie oil from around town and reprocess it into bio-diesel. They have plans to set up plants all over the country! I'm excited about these initiatives and seek to be more thoroughly involved with them as they grow! Good on you Asha & friends! May the rain fall steadily on your fields. It seems that hard work and dedication will manifest our collective desire and liking the vibe of these dreams.
