Joey Robison of Just Food Co-op asked if I would help spread the word about these upcoming free classes at the Co-op (the first is tomorrow evening!). I am happy to do so. If you are thinking of starting a garden this year for the first time, or increasing the size or scope of your garden, or are wondering about the feasibility of adding a small wind turbine to your property, these sound as if they will be quite helpful. I heard Ben Doherty of Open Hands Farm speak a few weeks ago, and am sure that he will give an informative, accessible presentation.
