Hi All,

Thanks for sharing this with your networks and potentially interested
friends.  Feel free to join us and stay the night if you're coming from
outside the area-  or join us for another workshop later this summer when the
camping's more comfortable!

I also wanted mention that the farm-based residential design course we're
running July 15-27 this summer with Mark Krawczyk, Lisa DePiano, Andrew
Faust, Alissa White, and Skotty Kellogg is filly pretty quickly- please let
us know if you're considering a space or planning to send a friend.

Fruit Tree Grafting and Propagation:

March 17, 2012  10 am - 4 pm
Willow Crossing Farm, Johnson, VT

Join us for a day of hands-on fruit tree grafting. We'll begin the day in the
classroom understanding the science of grafting, and bench grafting apples,
plums, and other stone fruits. After a farm-sourced lunch, we'll go out and
'top work' multiple varieties onto pears, apples, plums, and other stone
fruit. We'll also discuss some pruning basics, and different grafting
strategies for 'fruit salad trees', healing damaged trees, reworking new
varieties, revitalizing old orchards, enhancing cross-pollination, and space
considerations.

We'll also explore the incredible history of grafting, the range of grafting
possibilities, and practice with professional grafting tools which make for
more successful grafts by novices and experts alike.

Each attendant will leave with an apple variety of their choosing on
semi-dwarf or standard rootstock, or a stone fruit variety of their choosing
on native american plum rootstock.

$25-100 sliding scale includes light lunch, cider, and your own grafted fruit
tree to take home. No one will be refused for lack of funds.

Details about a St. Patricks Day dinner, drinks, and live traditional music
to follow the event will be announced soon.

We'll also be offering this event again in April.

Better battery technology is a fine thing, maybe, depending of course on its
consequences, intended and unintended. I don't mind spying, I always hope
the government reads everything I write, lol, but mostly I was thinking of
how these will be repurposed as weapons. There's a considerable amount of
discussion elsewhere about do-it-yourself drone technology, and the uses of
swarms of such in combat, terrorism, or other forms of violent mayhem, such
as the upcoming attacks on Iran. Military drones at present have human
controllers, but they are already working on autonomous military drones.
Personally, I think that the weaponization of this type of thing could be
the end game for this version of civilization. And its happening right now.
I know it sounds like something out of science fiction, but . . .

Are they spying on us? Do you mind?

I thought it newsworthy to Xpost about better battery technology able to
store adequate electricity for home use between times of sun and/or
wind. Pretty important as without that you will need to run a stationary
or portable power supply, i.e a generator.
