    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;       Goldenseal is a medicinal herb that will kill infections and is highly prized by herbalists. Unfortunately its going extinct in the wild due to over harvesting. It has become very very valuable. It only grows in the northeast. Anybody who lives there may be interested in planting some.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is what it looks like.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you do come in contact with this plant, you may want to harvest some for your medicine bag or travelers first aid kit, but dont take so much that the plant will die.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Bokashi (Japanese for "fermented organic matter") is a method of intensive composting. It can use an aerobic or anaerobic inoculation to produce the compost. Once a starter culture is made, it can be re-used, like yogurt culture. Since the popular introduction of effective microorganisms (EM), Bokashi is commonly made with only molasses, water, EM, and wheat bran. However, Bokashi can be made by inoculating any organic matter with a variety of hosts of beneficial bacteria/microbes. This includes manures, spent mushroom compost, mushroom spores, worm-casting tea, forest soil tea, yeast, pickles, sake, miso, natto, wine and beer. Molasses feeds the microbial cultures as they inoculate the organic matter.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The recipe for 5 gallon bucket:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1) Make a 1:1 ration of EM and molasses. 4 Tbsp. Put into 4 cups of water and let sit overnight.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2) Procure enough substrate to fill your container. I use dried coffee grounds. Wheat bran is popular to use. Wood shavings, food scraps,
&lt;br/&gt;etc.
&lt;br/&gt;The most important thing is to make sure that the end product has around 30% moisture. This can be determined by a strong man
&lt;br/&gt;squeeze. A nice hard squeeze should produce a few drops of water.
&lt;br/&gt;3) Mix the EM mixture into the substrate in a container. Wheelbarrows work well. Mix thoroughly. Add water until desired moisture level.
&lt;br/&gt;4) Fill into the bucket packing down firmly every few inches till full.
&lt;br/&gt;5) Cap the lid on airtight and wait three weeks for fermentation.
&lt;br/&gt;6) After three weeks spread the bokashi out to dry.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The bokashi is now ready to use. It contains millions of beneficial organisms and can be applied under mulch layers, mixed in with planting soil, or thrown in with compost. It will store dry in a cool shaded spot for a long time. If left wet and exposed to air, it will funk up pretty quick so drying is very important.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is good stuff to throw into abandoned lots a few weeks before guerrilla gardening to help prep the "beds". Throw some dried stuff down and scratch it in with you feet. walk away all innocent like...&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here is a sweet little tip. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When planting something substantial like a shrub or a tree, a little watering will help significantly. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Directions:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1) Find a sick spot to plant near an irrigation line. (sick meaning bot good an/or sick as in needing some green healing)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2) Purchase some emitters and stakes. These are cheap cheap. 15 cents each or even 40 cents if you go big.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;3) Go To: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4) In the Search box Type Install Drip Irrigation (too long a link to post.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;5) Pay attention mostly to Step 4, since this is what you will be doing.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;6) Plant your guerrilla plant and put the emitter around it- uphill is best for slope. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This technique has a couple of benefits. Your plant gets watered and will establish quicker and healthier. Also when the maintenance  crew comes around, the emitter makes the plant look legit so it is more likely to stay in the ground. There are many places that have spent major money on landscaping and irrigation and have not planted edibles. If you plant, and no one else knows that it is edible, then you have increased your own personal garden space in an urban environment without having to move or buy land. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;peace&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Ok. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is an easy way to get some quick and green satisfaction. Remember if you do this, you will need to pay attention to aspect. North facing walls are best, but anyplace that doesn't get sun fried will work. Moss is a sensitive medium. Best done with the cover of night, unless of course you have permission. And we all will right... ?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;First make a stencil:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;With photoshop:
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.melissaclifton.com/tutorial-stencila.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Or...
&lt;br/&gt;Just draw something cool and cut out the negative space. Silhouettes are VERY easy to do!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For street art, just fill a container with your moss solution (recipe below), and take a roller brush. Hold the stencil
&lt;br/&gt;up to the wall and roll the moss juice into the stencil. Not too much, drips are for amateurs!!! (obviously there are
&lt;br/&gt;major exceptions to this rule). The number one thing is to have a great time altering your environment!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You can also do moss painting on garden walls. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Examples:

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is for those who don't know this wonderful technique yet. Also, any thoughts or personal favorites for seed balls are appreciated.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;STEP ONE:  INGREDIENTS
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A. Dry terracotta clay, finely ground and sifted through a strainer to remove large chunks of clay.  Amount: 1 1/4 cup
&lt;br/&gt;B. Dry organic compost.  Amount: 3/4 cup 
&lt;br/&gt;C. 1/4 cup assorted seeds. Various wildflower &amp;amp; vegetable seeds can be used. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;STEP TWO: Mix B &amp;amp; C together.  (Seed mixed with dry compost.)  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;STEP THREE:  Add A to B &amp;amp; C mix. Blend everything together well.  Next, mist water onto the mixture while stirring.  Spray just enough water to allow the mixture to stick/bind together.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;STEP FOUR: Take a pinch of the finished mixture and roll (in the palm of your hand) into penny-sized round balls.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;STEP FIVE:  Put seed balls in the sun to dry completely for a day or two.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;STEP SIX:  Broadcast seed balls onto dirt area.  Water or wait for rain to allow seeds to germinate.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Makes approximately 30-40 balls 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We made seed balls with sunflower seeds which are bioremediative and propagate well. We let kids make their own and passed them out to people for empty urban lots, street medians, etc. at the Health and Harmony Festival a couple of years ago. Really fun! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Suggested seeds to attract beneficial insects: 
&lt;br/&gt;Clover, alfalfa, alyssum, nasturtium, yarrow, carrot, dill, daikon, celery, radish, fennel, caraway, chervil, gypsophila, coriander, calendula, mustard, anise hyssop, phacelia, agastache, and amaranth. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here's the link i just cut and paste if you would like more information and some pictures (always a bonus).

&lt;br/&gt;Global ReLeaf, a program of American Forests the nation’s oldest nonprofit citizens’ conservation organization (www.americanforests.org), is offering annual grants towards tree planting projects. Currently we are accepting tree planting project proposals for 2008. American Forests’ mission is to grow a healthier world. Global ReLeaf is American Forests' education and action program that helps individuals, organizations, agencies, and corporations improve the local and global environment by planting and caring for trees. Since it’s creation in 1988 the program has supported plantings of over 25 million trees worldwide.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Global ReLeaf grant program provides private dollars to support local reforestation efforts and help match other funding sources. American Forests raises a dollar for every tree planted with Global ReLeaf. The dollars fund the reforestation projects. Competitive grant requests must maximize the use of total project funds per tree planted. Grants are available to support rural seedling projects restoring damaged forest ecosystems. Further information regarding Global ReLeaf Grants including application forms and criteria can be found at: http://www.americanforests.org/global_releaf/grants/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please forward this grant opportunity to all those partners planning 2008 plantings. Deadlines for grant proposals are January 15th and July 1st. If you have any questions regarding grant specifics or plan on applying for funds please contact Margo Dawley 202-737-1944 x224 mdawley@amfor.org.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;...and are you planting seeds now to set out plants for guerrilla gardening?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've got my eye on a couple of large spaces, but I know for a fact that at least one of them is regularly visited by pigeons so laying down seed would be an utterly moot point. It's a shame, too, as that particular plot could do with some green manure seeding for sure! and I don't see any way to do it. There is a plan (with at least one other person) to plant a bunch of sunflowers there, and another plan (with a different person) so line a walkway with alternating cabbages and brussel sprouts...I'm kind of hoping I'll be able to sneak some green manure seeds under the cabbage leaves when they get going and maybe they can seed themselves out from that starting point.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've got about eight packages of tomato seeds of different varieties that I'm seeding in soon. April 15 is my local last frost date, so I need to get them seeded in soon if they are to have much growth on them when I set them out.&lt;/div&gt;

I'm saving all the seeds from any apples, too.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've got LOTS of seeds that I got at 10 cents a packet....corn, peas, carrots, lots of herbs.  I know a local feed store where I can get several different kinds of clover seed plus a green manure mix.  Clovers, alfalfa and legumes are a great way to start rehabilitating a chosen site, and besides---the native bees need all the help they can get.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So---what seeds are you guys saving, using, buying(?) and what's your favorite source for seeds?&lt;/div&gt;

I' sussing how many working poor and un/underemployed are going to be in need of fresh-grown alts to the now well-publicized hyperinflation-pricing at both large corporate and smaller local groceries.  This is slamming the capacity of low income people to eat...now.  Education of exactly what is in the packaged food people might be tempted to buy will not matter if any amount of quality food is prohibitively expensive to either...purchase...or...purchase the means to growyerown.  Upscale econ practices, prompted by the real estate boom, have escalated gardening supplies and reversed veggie gardening as a concept from self-reliance to one of upper-income idleness.  Many Tribe subs project this.  We can provide re-education base communites throughout Tribe-land as an alternative.....
&lt;br/&gt;These are not &lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;       Its not as sinister as it sounds. There is no genetic engineering involved. Its just a way of taking shoots from a plant and getting them to root producing a genetically identical plant. Its a useful way to spread plants when you dont have proper seeds. Dont take all of your clones from a single plant though, because this reduces genetic diversity.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Just someplace handy, that you walk past regularly?  Or do you look for sites with particular characteristics (like natural water, or likely to be undisturbed or something) even if you have to travel by car or bus to get there?  And how many spots?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've mostly been mapping probable sites at this point---not planting weather in the Seattle area right now!  I've seen an *awful* lot of places that need a three sisters garden or six; I'm getting pretty entertained by the concept of getting at least one tomato plant tucked into any possible bus stop  that could work...snack while you wait! LOL!  I've also been marking down likely spots where I could tuck a maypop (passiflora incarnata) in; the plain ones are supposed to be pretty hardy and they sure are spectacular.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also, there is a small vacant lot where I take my dog very near me; it did yield some tasty blackberries last year, but is being taken over by scotch broom.  I've starting pulling the small ones and dropping them into a handy abandoned shopping cart when I'm out there.  I believe I'll do some berry vine trimming, then use the nippers on the larger scotch broom.  Heck, I might be able to pull off a compost heap out there!  I think there is a sadly neglected little apple tree somewhere at the bottom of the hill, too; he could use some pruning while he's asleep.  This could be enough of a project that I might ask for help on it...fortunately I know some folks that would probably be delighted.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;a few months ago, i woke up from one of those deep, deep resourceful sleeps, thinking i had to dig up central park trees and replace them with fruit-bearing trees. the trees in central park are kind of diabolically spaced, in my opinion. i'm certain the place has been landscaped so that it is difficult to get up to no good unseen. certainly in daylight, it's hard to find two trees close enough together that if you want to pee you're not in view. forget making out in the "woods." central park is wonderful. but it is also a bit of an illusion, from my perspective. anyhow, i was probably thinking that any new trees would be easily noticed. as i woke up, i realized i didn't want to dig up trees, i wanted to add some more. it's kind of weighing on me that i haven't replanted central park yet.&lt;/div&gt;
