I found this entertaining and informative video, &#8220;Store Wars&#8221;, over at Mother Earth Soup via Path to Freedom. With characters Cuke Skywalker, Obi Wan Canolli, Darth Tater, and Chew Broccoli, the Free Range Studios video is a humorous look at organic vs. chemical grown foods.  I hope you will enjoy &#8220;May the Farm be With [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always wanted to purchase a compost tumbler, but felt that they were a costly, frivolous purchase. Not being very mechanically minded, I could never figure out how to build my own either, but after visiting How-to Homestead I think this would be an easy enough project that I might be able to complete [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I finally did it&#8230;I purchased Backyard Self-Sufficiency by Jackie French.
From the back cover&#8230;
&#8220;Self-sufficient gardens are beautiful: a ramble of productivity, a profusion of smells and colour.  We&#8217;ve forgotten how beautiful edible plants can be: fat, red apples and trendrils of grapes; bountiful red-flowering perennial beans, and soft, feathery fennel; the wide, bright blooms of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very interesting idea for &#8220;free&#8221; lighting. The narration is in Portuguese (i think), but there is closed captioning. This might work in the storage building in my backyard.
