open letter to all perma-culturists who realy care - back 2 grass roots
g'day fran,
there was a post or 2 here quiet some time ago if i recal i then raised the issue of pc 4 sale only to those who can afford it. i am currently in or lurking if you wish in 5 pc forums this one and 4 other forums. this one was by far the best some time back but has all but faded away but for a few cross posts and smutt material. i am also inviolved in quiet a number of gardening and related news groups and forums even exclusively aussie forums, the difference between the 2 that is pc and the others is that on all the others there are gardeners and related chatting about what they are doing, asking about help for porblems and otehrs providing help or assistance where possible, people are not only excahnging ideas and pics online but they are exchanging seeds and plant material where they can. i myself have recieved all sorts of material from others and from you as well and to all i am very grateful, i have been able to reciprocagte buy sending stuff to others so the circle goes around, but those gardening forums are vibrant and alive with chat, and they are all at grass roots level no one is flogging lessons in growing things or how to organic garden or even how to fix a mower it all comes gratis to all and sundry. i can emphasize with your pc friends and feel for their honest efforts but unfortunately the world is full of those that would take advantage, it's like some who take advantage of whooffers they think these people travelling around are little more than slaves. back to the serf's and lord's days. in all those other forums there are dozens upon dozens probably hundreds of posts daily, but perma-c would be lucky to generate up to 4 a day on any given day this topic excluded. and for the maion the most topiced product in those permy posts is you guessed it yet another fresh from someone's institute certified with diploma who now wants the right to earn their money back. i have tried to have chat on those forums about all sorts of things but usually if just fades away. anyhow fran it is not a personal attack on you or any of the handful of regulars still er um lurking. yes i can ingnore the yuppies but those out there that we want to come onto pc aren't and they aren't coming into pc, we realy need to get it promoted very strongly at grass roots level, or i for one can't see it going far. the reason i frequent those other forums is that i am looking for chat, knowledge and the sharing of it not knowledge from a carriculum but knowledge from applying it and succeeding. i can only invite people to come to pc i ca't make them come. take care len snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gardenlen1/ my e/mail addies have spam filters you should know what to delete before you send. |
