Willow wattles or live fascines are cigar or sausage-like bundles of live cuttings tied together and inserted into a shallow trench dug into the streambank. The willow bundles will sprout and take mot, thus stabilizing the streambank with a dense matrix of mots. This is a good technique to break up slope length and minimize erosion.

M.G. Lloyd's Paintings serve quiet homage to predominantly 19th century (and copyright free) advertising etchings. Heavily researched yet often quite random and mysterious, M.G. Lloyd breaths a new life into antique iconography and concept.
M.G. Lloyd's Fabric Art Sculptures are a mixed media adventure that continuously evolves and expand in scope. Starting with one "doll" made on a rainy day as a means of escape from tight painted renderings, has become a wild and unique method of storytelling. A still growing brood of freestanding three dimensional animals and figures originally titled "voudoozoo" has expanded to include intimate shadow box environments.
Spring is the time of the year when your garden begins to take shape and you can grow your most prized vegetables. Starting in early spring, you can grow your cool weather vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, musclem and broccoli. The month of May is the time to begin to harvest these nutritious greens (for town and city dwellers, you can now find these greens in great abundance at the local farmers' markets or green grocers) and serve them with your meals. You can also include organic flowers for color, as well as, nutrients with these greens.
Edible flowers represent a variety of organically grown flowers such as nasturtiums, marigolds, pansies, caledulas, roses, daylilies, geraniums and many others. Edible flowers are available in some specialty produce sections, farmers markets or directly from local specialty growers. Edible flowers can be used fresh, without cooking, to add flavor, color and nutritional value to the meal.
Go ahead and get creative with your plant containers. Take a look in your kitchen cabinets to see if there are some unique looking objects you no longer want that could be turned into a plant container. You can even mix up the container styles for an eclectic look.
No matter the containers you choose, it’s important that they have proper drainage to avoid mold, rotting, or drowning of your plants. If your containers don’t come with drain holes, simply drill several small holes in the bottom. The holes should be small enough to keep the soil in and let the water out.
Container gardens need a little more of everything than the average earthbound garden: more drainage, more frequent watering and feeding — even more plants. Keep these pointers in mind as you plant those pots.
Urban Agriculture - Edible Container Gardens - Poor people can grow their own food in their own neighborhoods. Abundance of fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables can be grown inexpensively in containers virtually anywhere -- at the edges of parking lots; along railroad tracks; on back porches; on rooftops; in patios; in driveways; in vacant lots between buildings; in brown fields or areas where there is a concern about soil pollutants; in areas where soil nutrition is lacking -- just about anywhere there is a bit of space, sun and access to water. Shirley's Award Winning Rooftop Garden
Experiments on the rooftop parking lot of the office of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chicago have proven the feasibility of growing high yields of vegetables in children's plastic wading pools.
"This is the only book I have found that covers growing vegetables in containers. It is a good start. It provides just enough information about the all important-soil recipes, companion plants, container sizes & types, watering, pests, fertilizers and suitable crops."
If you have a small, flat rooftop, access to a bit of open space between your house and your neighbor's, or any small patch of land, here's the ultimate how-to manual for making the most of it to raise your own food, including ways to enhance soil fertility and productivity, non-chemical pest controls, where and when to plant what in your climate or location, the tools you'll need, and the problem-solving skills essential to success. This "ground-breaking" book is used by gardeners around the globe and is as hopeful, inspiring, and motivating a gardening book as has ever been written.
Fatal Harvest: The Tragedy of Industrial Agriculture by Andrew Kimbrell Takes an unprecedented look at our current ecologically destructive agricultural system and offers a compelling vision for an organic and environmentally safer way of producing the food we eat. Exposes the ecological and social impacts of industrial agriculture's fatal harvest
Fulvic Acid nature's own best medicine for plants, animals, humans, and the Earth itself. Most soils have produced food for hundreds of years. The minerals in those foods were eaten generations ago. Now depleted, the produce grown is less nourishing and healthy. Fertilizers may increase growth rates, but the produce has become a hollow food. In addition, synthetic fertilizers may convert mineral ions into insoluble complexes, making it difficult for the plants to absorb these essential minerals. Pesticides and herbicides may kill or greatly inhibit the micro-organisms in the soil responsible for solubilizing minerals so the plant roots can absorb them. Literally, the minimal amounts of minerals left in the soil may become, to a large part, insoluble and unabsorbable because of modem agricultural practices.
The Paradox of Plenty : Hunger in a Bountiful World by Douglas M. Boucher Through its original research, Food First has consistently shown that there is more than enough food for every man, woman, and child on Planet Earth, but all too often the poor do not have access to that food. Highly recommended for personal, professional, academic, and public library collections, The Paradox Of Plenty: Hunger In A Bountiful World is an outstanding compilation of excerpts from twenty-seven of Food First's best writings designed to provide food system activists and the non-specialist general reader with an integrated overview of the world food system, how global politics affect hungry people, and the impact of the free market on the growth, processing, and distribution of foodstuffs.
The Hunger Project is an international organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger through the empowerment of women and communities, the stabilization of population growth, the eradication of poverty, the preservation of the natural environment and the universalization of access to basic health and education
America's Second Harvest is the nation's largest domestic hunger relief organization. Through a network of over 200 food banks and food-rescue programs, they distribute food to 26 million hungry Americans each year, eight million of whom are children.

Ms. Murphy draws for her art on from her youth in the fjord-like North Shore above Vancouver. "In those days dogs, cats children and the odd white duck freely roamed the streets and beaches." says Ms. Murphy. "People and animals were personalities of equal importance in our world. In mine, they still are."

The aim of this site is to communicate the versatility of both the material - paper - and the techniques of decoration. Paper is a wonderful invention, which people usually take for granted.

"Styrogami is sculpture evolved from mentally extrapolating the trash and waste proliferation and combining the exponential growth of world population while factoring in rain forest depletion rates with due consideration given to the half-life of stored nuclear waste and the destruction potential inherent in modern day weaponry. I have come up with the visionary concept that we may indeed be presently and blindly basking in the glory of our final historical footnote, leaving no future generations to learn the hard lessons that the destruction of one's own planet will teach. Though I disdain the Styrofoam cup and the throwaway society it represents, Styrogami is, nonetheless, something metaphorically exquisite to admire as we walk this path to the gallows." J.
