Tanis:

Well, I am one of the hard workers, that's true. I have a career to attend
to also. But, that is neither here nor there. It is true that I do not
believe the "list-serv" folk are representative of the NAFEX population. In
fact, I find it a bit clatchy. However, you ask some good questions. I do
not know how to get the information. Do you?

I am glad that you are a member and write for POMONA.

Bruce

You are indeed one of the fortunate!  I have more
acquaintance with those who have much less land &/or
time &/or energy.

Everyone should have access to whatever info they need
for growing whatever food they can.  In turn, they
might improve the methods for doing this.  We can't
explore and develop new foods without basic info on
horticulture.  The more people involved & the more
methods, the better.  I hope they can contribute their
knowledge to this list AND the Pomona magazine.

For people who are shy about writing for the Pomona,
for whatever reason, PLEASE SHARE YOUR INFO.
Experienced growers have lots of knowledge to share.
New growers often see new questions & solutions.

(Yes I'm a member, and I offer articles for the
magazine.)

Admin:  Do we have current statistics for how many
members get Pomona only, how many are subscribed to
the listserv, how many ever post to the listserv?  And
how many subcribers to listserv who aren't members,
and how many of them who post regularly?
