		<title>Hungry yet?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose by now that you are hoping I will leave off the rants for a while … and in a while I intend to do so. 
What kind of gardener would I be if I was afraid to stir up a little dirt when the time comes?
 
Here’s why:

		<title>If you eat food, this applies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the “I told you so” department.
I hate GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and their insidious sidekick, chemical farming, with the same passion I reserve for pedophiles, politicians, drug sales reps and big bankers.
 
You will sometimes read my arguments, cogent or otherwise, for gangland-style executions of the occasional corporate board. At the top of that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make the world go away &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or, at least, the uglier parts of it.
If you haven’t given any thought to becoming a Guerilla Gardener or, if you have thought about it but simply haven’t taken action, you really owe it to yourself to see how much beauty one guy with buck teeth has brought to Zurich, Switzerland.

		<title>It&#8217;s a smaller world than before</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just this month the front cover of Forbes called Monsanto “Seed Heroes”. 
(hack, cough, cough) Balderdash. 
I may buy a copy just so I can frame that cover as evidence that Forbes has abandoned even the pretext of journalistic integrity and cannot be trusted to be truthful in any matter whatsoever.
The linked video, about the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Water shortages not mandatory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As gardeners, we know that we are held ransom to water. Rain, dew, pipe, irrigation, drip, flood, spray, weep … if the water doesn’t reach our gardens somehow – or if there is too much of it or it is timed poorly – our plantings are doomed. If we were counting on that food for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Islam Siddiqui to the rescue?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is going to be interesting … if the flames can get fanned just a little.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/opinion/04wed4.html?_r=1

If you’ve been following the sea change from chemical to organic production of our foodstuffs, you are probably already familiar with how horrible the early drafts of the “organic” laws were in the US.
Just about anything was fair game.

		<title>Why fall is so important</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve just been reading Soil Science Simplified&#8217; target=_blank&#62;“Soil Science Simplified” by Kohnke &#38; Franzmeier and that reminded me of some insight that I now take for granted, but which was originally one of those ‘blinding flash of light’ moments for me.
On the second page, they point out that “A green plant is made up of [...]]]></description>

You may also be interested in knowing that Ireland is now officially and completely GMO free. Not even so-called ‘trial fields’ [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gardening for dollars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[@GardenSeed posted a twit a few months ago that warrants a re-visit. What she said was “let&#8217;s all help the economy with some small victory gardens. check this out for free seeds &#38; tips http://bit.ly/ebN9j”
Her thinking was, and is, good. 
 
A large part of “The American Dream” is self-sufficiency. For many decades, this has [...]]]></description>

		<title>A layered approach to gardening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Due to the abundance of raw materials, the slowed growth of weeds and the generally good moisture levels, autumn is an excellent time to begin a garden. Here’s how:
 
&#160;
Begin by collecting enough paper or cardboard to cover your intended garden bed several layers deep. Also, collect and grind (if you can) enough leaves to [...]]]></description>
