Hi I'm new here. :)

[ShannonS]

I just wanted to say HI and I'm really happy I found this forum. We are getting chickens soon (saw some chicken posts) and I went "no poo" last week. As in stopped using shampoo (that's how I found this board) and trying to get rid of SLS in the home in general. I make Cloth diapers, but my kids don't use them anymore. I still sell them though!

We try to live a healthy lifestyle and are working toward being more sustainable. I wish we had a longer growing season. 3 months just doesn't cut it with most fruits and Veggies.

Any questions, just ask!

from East Tennessee. Bet you could find some good tips on here and TheEasyGarden.com for extending your growing season. Where there's a will, there's a way.

At first I couldn't understand how you only had a 3 month growing season in California, but I guess you must live pretty high up in northern California. Have you tried to extend your growing season with hoop houses and the like?

Hiya!

What about cold frames? Build a raised bed type container, fill the bottom with fresh manure, top with a thick layer of good soil & cover with a hoop type house?
