Saluatations Graham!

Thanks for your significant contribution!

Nota Bene:  wikipedia and wiki text formatting aren't compatible (not without 
a lot of editing)
which means that cut from wikipedia and paste directly into wikipages won't 
look right after saving without editing.

Have a look at your Organic Gardening page in the pcwiki:
http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/pcwiki/index.php/Organic%20Gardening
I just got through reworking the formatting and I believe we have something 
to build on.
The *'s create a nice interlinked tree-form outline of our information; if we 
keep the hyperlinks
consistent it will work fine wikiwide without creating duplicate pages by 
mistake.
