Well, I went into my web based email and downloaded the newsletter that Barbara Bessey sent me to my desktop and also the Survey she sent and I then edited my last blog post and uploaded them to that posting. I previewed the post a couple of times and it seemed to work so I published it. I hope some one who didn't already have it reads it and uses it for the purpose intended. I guess if they don't or it doesn't work for them my work or attempt was for not but at least, I learned a few things and… Continue

I heard that a free one year trial membership to the Oregon Bioscience Association was offered to all who attended the 2nd meeting. Could this possibly be correct. See… Continue

Lots of ideas but so little time and so little money. Sound familar. I started another forum discussion and we will see if anyone on the WVBIC.NING site has the interest to join the effort to push for a couple of IMPLANs to see what emerging cluster makes the most sense in our area.

Oregon Soil, Inc. is the areas expert on vermiculture and is look… Continue
