Prepare for the attack!

If everyone interested in this project started gathering resources
now, we'll be able to kick this off with force! To promote
environmental and economic goals, we need to start looking at the
majority of society's waste as goldmines of resources and make use of
it to the best of our abilities.

Materials to gather:
- Pots (plastic cups, oatmeal containers, yogurt containers... be
creative!!)
- Seedling flats (egg cartons work well)
- Soil (because Florida has none)
- Scrap wood & wood screws (2x4, 2x6)
- Popsicle sticks (for lables)
- Cinder blocks
- Wooden pallets (these are large but are great for compost piles)
- 3gal & 5gal buckets (lids would be nifty)
- Burlap sacks (these aren't too common, but keep your eyes open!)
- 50gal plastic drums (again, just keep your eyes open)
- Anything else you think will come in handy

Save Seeds!
When you've cut up that fruit and are getting ready to toss the seeds
in the compost or trash, STOP! Those seeds can, and should be saved!
Seeds will probably be our largest expense, and so if we can just save
the seeds we'd normally be tossing, we can save a lot of money! Some
seeds are easier to save than others, but in the long run, it's worth
it. You decide your own level of involvement. For a primer on seed
saving, check out http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/hortihints/0008c.html
and if you want to get deeper in to it, check out
http://homepage.eircom.net/~merlyn/seedsaving.html . There are other
pages in the Seed Saving section of the Links area on the Yahoo group.

Networking
If you would like to do some networking with local gardening groups,
or potential donors, please do! There's no command structure to assign
these roles, so take it upon yourself.

That's all for now folks!
Love & Revolution,
Peter
