Hi, I’m Bill.

I’m a 58 year old resident of Detroit, MI. with family roots that pass through West Virginia on their way to Ireland and Scotland.

I’ve been an urban organic gardener since age 40 … maybe earlier. I’ve done a lot of things for a living, but puttering around in the garden has helped me keep my sanity. More or less.

Sometime in 2005 or 2006 I started a web page about my garden and the unusual technique I have used to help my plants along, but it was a bit much for me to keep up at the time. Since then, blogs have hit their stride and I’ve found that I can keep adding stuff as it happens without having to learn how to do hardcore coding. Thus I am able to keep things a bit livelier for my readers without obsessing over the code in the background.

I hope you find my writing clear and understandable. If not, please drop me a line at ‘bill 13510 at gmail dot com’. Obviously you’ll have to fix that address, but that won’t pose much of a challenge for most of you.

About the ads …
I’m experimenting with ads from Amazon, Google and All-Posters.

Any ad that I serve to you must stand a reasonable chance of serving your needs. Since Google continues to improve their filtering, I’m going to continue the AdSense experiment for a little while longer.

This is a blog, not a child. Unlike a child, it must pay its way.

I’ve hooked up with a poster company to offer their material, too. As I looked over their stock looking for a poster for myself, I realized that they had a lot of nice posters that would appeal to my readers. When I found out that they also had an affiliate program, I signed up. Even if you ultimately decide not to buy the poster that appears on this blog, feel free to click through it anyways and just browse around. Their selection is ‘ginormous’ and their pricing is reasonable.

Bill
