6 steps for planning next year’s garden
TreeHugger - 12/31/2011.By Colleen Vanderlinden – I'm not great at planning. I'll confess that up front. I am very much one of those "eh, let's try it and see what happens!" type of people. But when it comes to growing a productive, attractive garden, planning is essential.
Another shady land deal in Africa, this one assisted by the US Ambassador to Tanzania
TreeHugger - 12/31/2011.By Rachel Cernansky – The Oakland Institute – the think tank that revealed the connection this summer between Ivy League universities and land grabs in Africa – is now voicing concern about the support the U.S. ambassador to Tanzania is lending to a land deal in that country that would displace more than 160,000 people.
Big farm, small farm
Down East - 12/28/2011.By Michaela Cavallaro – Farming in Maine is an exercise in contrast.

On the other end are Maine’s large producers.
