    Here is a link to an on-line library of useful books.

    https://www.soilandhealth.org/

    Does anyone else have a link to another useful library that they use?

    G'day Mike, Everyone :)

    Thanks!

    This one is very new, and while it is not a 'library', it is one that I will be keeping an eye on:

    https://greeningtheapocalypse.com/

    The links page provides a portal to some very interesting comments/articles.

    Cheerio,

    Mark.

    G'day All,

    I stumbled across this one in my travels recently, and have found it to be a very user-friendly database:

    AANRO - Australian Agriculture and Natural Resources Online

    https://www.aanro.net/

    Cheerio,

    Mark.

    This one is a list of "Open Access Journals". Including some that are relevent to our quest.

    https://www.doaj.org/

    Despite this definition of "open":

    I did find some journals that charged for access.

    I haven't looked any any of these, and I imagine a lot of them will be green revolution stuff, but since they go way back there will be some gems.

    I've been wondering about that - specifically about getting important information printed out with waterproof inks (my printer's inks are easily smudged if wet).
