Great podcast today; especially the bit on Monsanto and their respective frankenstein foods and their thuggish actions regarding farmers and seed. I suspect you’ve heard of Percy Schmeiser (Canadian farmer who won against Monsanto; more on him and related things can be found on the Deconstructing Dinner website (URL: http://www.cjly.net/deconstructingdinner/))(I have not connection, just a resource for others to listen too, see if there’s stuff they find of interest and ideas on how to act) therefore (if not, check out the above link or just Google him).

The cinder block container/raised bed garden idea is great (I’ve heard of it, but didn’t think about using the holes for specialized plantings), thanks.

Jack,
On today’s show You had brought up a comment I had posted yesterday. Please let me clarify.
I was in no way suggesting an armed revolution is necessary at this time.
Only that if the time comes where all else has failed and “The People” need to reclaim their government under the constitution of the United States of America…it would not be treason but rather patriotism.
If Thomas Jefferson’s wisdom was treasonistic, then I consider myself in pretty good company.
You always ask for feed back whether we agree or disagree,hum…sorry for disagreeing Jack!
(AS always, just on man’s opinion).
Lighten up buddy….we’re on the same side!
Keep up the good work!

Jack,
Your point is well put and I understand your thinking.
Hopefully the day will never come that we’d have to take arms against our government.
However, when they come to take my trowel away….they’ll get it over the head!
Best to ya, Gary

The cinderblock planter is one of the old wise tricks. You’d like who first taught me to use them that way – my grandfather. When ever he does anything with blocks (retention wall, garden wall, raised bed, whatever) the top layer of blocks is left open to use for planters. The other good benifit to them for them (besides the isolation from the rest of the bed, and the loewr cost compared to lumber) is when they are tall enough, you have a plantting row that you don’t have to bend over to work on.
