g'day lilipili,

at the end of the day i'd suggest you spend yor money on actual
infrastructure in your garden ie.,. mulch hay whatever.

you could go to the lending library and borrow mollesons "intro to pc"
it's all common sense stuff, and easy to follow. or check out your
local TAFE they often have 2 day intro courses at the least cost,
again you'll see there is no mystique it is all basic and common sense
stuff.


thanks for the advice :-), but i don't have a garden :-(, land is an
expensive luxury so i grow everything on my window sills. i want to
learn how to grow things optimally in urban spaces. i also want to
help others do it... possibly make a living out of it, so will need a
qualification. Plus, it might make a nice holiday :-) out of the
concrete jungle.

Maybe you can have a nice break, maybe you'll learn something, maybe you'll
even get a qualification, but don't even think in terms of "making a living
out of it" before you have a whole lot more under your belt than just a
short course, a qualification and a break. You'll give PC a bad name if you
display thinking like that and there are already enough nutjobs out there
claiming all sorts of things about PC based on their own limited
abilites/observations/experiences.
