    LOL - I might have to moderate you for that!

    You are clever to be able to do that graph thingy Gandalf. We should ask you around more often!

    That's weather too far north and east for me. Canada is actively spraying chemicals in the air to negate hail over farms.

    I am one of the "lurkers" who reads a lot and gets a lot of information from here. The reason I don't post often (maybe this is true for others??) is that I don't really think I have a lot of insight into the discussions. I am fairly new to Permaculture so I wouldn't necessarily be helping others with my comments. But it is a great place to read and learn.

    But do you learn more by asking questions?

    Sometimes people don't even know the right questions to ask though.

    Whether they are the right questions or not, I have many. I am just asking them slowly so as not to overwhelm the kind permaculturists who answer them all.

    It sounds like we are all a bit bored at the moment, so I wouldn't worry about overwhelming anyone ;-)

    I have a question....

    I was a member here years ago... and i couldn't get back into my account because i moved continents.. well hemisphere's too. Then just today i got a linkback on my blog and it came here....

    but it is on the bottom of someone else's account... someone called Suze in NSW?

    now i moved from Western Australia to upstate... never lived in NSW so i am completely flummoxed! certainly time to say hello again anyway.

    and i do believe i know Ludi from another place :D

    I just got thrown out for criticizing the Austrian guru... First I was censored (and accused of being a nitpicking sockpuppet of the agro-chemical industry - it'd be funny if it wasn't so sad). Then I saw two other folks being censored too and PM'd them to ask what they had written as the posts had vanished within minutes of being put up. This morning I find my account locked. So much for "Private Messages".

    Glad to have found this forum recently. And the Worldwide Network.

    I'm glad you found us too :)

    I can't see the page you link to because it requires a sign in and I'm not registered there.

    I play around on the Square Foot Gardening website, and their posters write up articles, the most notable being the friday rookie topics. We also started a series on plant propagation/seed saving(though I have no idea where those went). I'm sure there are many subjects that we can come up with for permaculture topics, even if it is just on a weekly basis. And since permaculture can be done on any scale, each topic can be broken down by venue. Have our gracious admins pick a topic, then people pick their region if they choose to type something up. A month in advance might be a good idea, but I don't really know how detailed these articles should be.

    For example:

    Water harvesting

    Dams and Swales on Broadacre
    Swales and Catchments in an urban setting
    Keyline ploughing
    What is a Keyline anyway?

    or

    Surveying the Property

    Broadacre surveying
    Why it's important to survey your land even if it's only 20' x 20' and how to do it.

    or

    How to Get Started

    The Logical Process of Permaculturing Your Property
    The Logical Process of Permaculturing Your Life

    or

    How to Propagate

    or

    Species Lists (include common and scientific name, what and how to use each species, preferred environment etc.)

    Nitrogen Fixing Annuals/Perennials by Region
    Nurse Annuals/Perennials by Region
    Perennial Food by Region
    Chicken Breeds by Region
    Easily Coppiced Trees by Region
    Fast Growing(ie: mulch) Trees by Region
    Useful Plants by Region(yarrow, comfrey and the like)

    That's about all that my morning brain can come up with at the moment(first cup of coffee just finished).
