Hello, all - I am planning the next Microfarm Forum for late February. This might be something that only new people will want to come to, or something the last gang might still benefit from. I would like to call this Forum - "Increasing Capacity". If we are growing nothing now, how can we begin? If we are growing "some", how can we grow more? I am inviting speakers from the Non Forest Timber Product division of Royal Roads University to speak to us about the fringe markets for items like this, and they will be talking about Value Added components and marketing. I would like to set aside time to talk about food plant aspects of increasing capacity. We have hundreds of acres of grass and partially used veggie garden on the coast. What are the mental and physical walls that are keeping us from turning this land into highly productive food growing area? What, as any of you stepped out into your gardens to begin growing commercially on even a tiny scale, occurred to you as problems or barriers to getting going? If we could think-tank that a little bit here, it would help me design something useful for this Forum. Thanks for tossing and turning on that problem - Robin
