Members of the list may be interested in new material on my website:

(1) I have updated the page about my coming presentations:
http://themodernhomestead.us/article/Harveys+Presentations.html
For the present I am greatly reducing my travel and speaking commitments, but have agreed to make three presentations at the Heritage Harvest Festival in Charlottesville, Virginia (at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's estate), September 6 & 7.

(2) Though I have had my article "Multifunctional Living Fences"
http://themodernhomestead.us/article/Multifunctional+Living+Fences.html
on the site for some time now, it has not been properly worked into the navigation system and you might have missed it. I have now added a new section devoted to this topic
http://themodernhomestead.us/article/Living+Fences.html
to which I hope to add in the future. If there are agricultural (as opposed to merely ornamental) living fences or hedgerows in your area, especially if you are able to share digital photos, I would love to hear from you.

(3) I have written on the subject of maximizing feeding of poultry from home resources in the past, but the latest update to my thoughts on the subject is "Feeding the Flock from Home Resources"
http://themodernhomestead.us/article/Feeding+from+Home+Resources.html
which was published in the August-September issue of Backyard Poultry last year. If you experiment with some of the feeding strategies suggested, I'd like to know your results.

And finally: Coming up! I have long intended a new section on *mushrooms*, and am now working on adding that section, including at least two articles on (1) the role of fungi in the homestead and farm ecology and (2) the cultivation of a growing number of edible and medicinal species. I will send you a notice when the new articles are up.
