If youve been here over 5 you'd remember sandg1. the reason i seldom
post
anymore is that ive been here long enough to have read it all before. I
garden
10 acres in southwest Ohio, ive never killed a dog, and have had deer
jump over
6 foot fence to graze on my gardens while the rabbits and coons dug
under
them. and yes, if i were eating my neighbors garden id expect them to
shoot me
too. Since i lived in Plymouth MI before moving here i know theres not
much
wildlife there, therefore im sure the occasional rabbit is a fascination
for
Pat. As for me they destroy a source of income.

Hello Mr Troll,
(by your self description I dont necessarily feel it applies but) I was
wondering if you had any resources (on line) that you find helpfull in
your small farm operation? I have been enjoying reading this NG but also
have been looking for info on gardening/farming on a slightly larger
scale than the conventional vegetable garden. 10 acres is about the
level we would perhaps be able to accomodate on our own. We have much
more land than that but I am not sure we would want grow much more than
that. Or invest in the larger equipment it may require.
I dont read many posts from people here who seem to be farming at the
level it sounds you are. I would be interested in any info you may have.

Pardon me for jumping in here. I have 3 organic gardens in my town
comprising a total of slightly over an acre. I supply 4 restaurants and many
individuals here on that amount of land. I farm/garden entirely by hand, no
power equipment at all. Just wanted to let you know that a lot can be grown
on a small piece of ground. Feel free to e-mail me for more details or
questions you may have.

Regards,
Bill
