[PG-Info00] FREE RESOURCES FOR GARDENERS & FARMERS
There are numerous resources available, almost too many, and there is a big caveat coming with many if not most of the "free" resources. Many "free" resources in fact try to sell you something, usually man-made chemicals, GMO (genetically-modified) seeds, and the like, or at least the idea of using them, to get a "better" garden.

[PG-Info01] PERSONAL GARDENS : DO IT YOURSELF? OR HAVE IT DONE FOR YOU?
This is of course a matter of inclination, time, and budget. Our general thinking about the issue is that best and most beneficial to you (exercize, etc) is to do it yourself. Which of course is also the most cost-effective way to go -- provided, of course, that you first inform yourself properly. Which is precisely what this blog is about. However, to give you an idea of what it costs to have it done for you here in Southern California, here is a typical answer to an inquiry about what it would cost to have it done for you.

[PG-Info02] If you don't grow food yourself, here is a good ex...
Here is a good example of what to look for if you can't grow your own organic food yourself yet. This is an article describing a small local CSA, what it does, and how it interacts with its customers. You can find it here: http://www.mauitime.com/Articles-i-2007-10-04-163924.112113-Down_on_Patricks_Farm.html under the title:
Down on Patrick's Farm - How one Peahi farmer grows food for Maui's people,

It tells the story of a Malibu native who apprenticed in So Cal with the last living great specialist of biodynamic composting, and went on to establish a CSA in Hawaii. Very inspiring.

[PG-Anal01] ANALYZING THE OFFICIAL 'ORGANIC' EFFORTS & PUTTING...
ANALYZING THE OFFICIAL 'ORGANIC' EFFORTS & PUTTING THEM IN PERSPECTIVE There is a quite interesting organisation named the OFRF, standing for "Organic Farming Research Foundation". It represents the organized "certified" organic farming interest. Its material is quite interesting to look at, from several points of view. First, because it usually contains valuable information, second, for what it does, and what it says, and for what it does NOT do, and does NOT say.

Example of market offering for a ready-made gardening unit [OG-Mark01 – V100-080918] This is a typical commercial ad about a ready-made gardening unit (it even refers to us! :) The reply address has been deleted as this is an advertising-free blog, but it gives you an idea of what you can find and for how much! It will of course cost you at least 35% less if you do it yourself.)

[Need00] "HEALTH THRU GARDENING" IS SEEKING LAND DONATION :
Health Thru Gardening, the grass roots non-profit which publishes the present blog and its sibblings, is currently LOOKING FOR SOME LAND IN OR NEAR W. LOS ANGELES (SUCH AS MALIBU, SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CANYONS, ETC) TO OPERATE A MODEL FACILITY TO SHOWCASE HOW TO GROW FUNCTIONAL FOODS AS WELL AS SPECIFIC "MIRACLE PLANTS" WITH IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTING PROPERTIES -- A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE TRULY ORGANIC AND SUSTAINABLE FARMING & GARDENING, AS WELL AS WHAT IT CAN BE USED FOR.

THE PROCESS OF CREATING THIS MODEL FACILITY WILL BE THOROUGHLY DOCUMENTED THROUGH MULTIMEDIA RECORDINGS, AND MADE WIDELY AVAILABLE THROUGH ANY AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY, SUCH AS DVD RECORDINGS, RSS FEEDS, ETC, SO IT CAN EASILY BE REPLICATED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Permalink: http://personalgardens.blogspot.com/2008/09/need00-health-thru-gardening-is-seeking.html

The present list will be modified as more posts are added, allowing you to navigate easily to what is of interest to you.

Always remember: When you create your own Personal Organic & Sustainable Garden, you of course have to look at the same issues a seasoned gardener looks at when considering installing a garden for someone else, and from the same points of view. Again, helping you do so is what this blog, and our sister-blog http://optimalgardens.blogspot.com/ are about! And for composting, go to http://biocomposts.blogspot.com/ .
