Gwen and Mark Good to hear from you guys! After seeing the clip I felt very ashamed, if those folks had all the land I have access to they could feed the whole county:) Floyd Thanks for the link. You'll have to tell me about the book after you read it. My book budget is down to $0 for a while. I finally decided it would be a while before I could justify buying Days of Vengence (Chilton's commentary on Revelation) so I broke down and downloaded the free copy from ICE. I don't know if I can make it through 750 pages of PDF though:) Nothing beats a book in the hand. I am thankful they offer it for free though. Hi Matt

Thanks for the tip! <a href="http://www.bountifulgardens.org/prodinfo.asp?number=BEA-0300" rel="nofollow">Here's a direct link</a> for anyone else wanting to purchase the book. We've got plenty of room for improving our stewardship of the little piece of land that we have. Mr. Davis, I purchased “How to Grow More Vegetables” upon your recommendation, sir.

If we are not using our 5+ acres now, who says we would be using 15 or 20? Really, let us maximize what God has given to us right now and see how we stewardship, then move on (maybe, if needed) Thanks for the reminder and the links. I plan to check them out tonight. Off to build a guinea brooder :) Gwen and Mark Scott,

You will come up with much from John Jeavons. It is much of his work that the folks over at Path to Freedom use. Also, I think Floyd Tuberville has a link on his site to Spin Farming. It's basically the same, except that the Spin Farming spin, I think is that they make their living from "showing" you "how to" (kind of like Joel Salatin). With some internet time, book reading and trial and error, you can do it without buying into pre-packaged "how to's". Also, the Dervaes (Path to Freedom) are very willing to help you out. Specifically look for "How to Grow More Vegetables" by Mr. Jeavons. Be sure to get the latest version. It has been enormously helpfull in our backyard "experimental" garden. Luke 16:10 (NKJV) He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Hope this helps...
