Hello TOD ANZ flavour!

Been reading TOD for a couple of years at least and it's good to see a quality site growing. Even better to see it in this country.

I have been inspired by Westexas' ELP model to dig up my yard, reduce my exposure to the growth economy and encourage others around here to do the same. I've built a small site www.veggieweb.net and a board to put all the local 'crazies' in touch with each other and distribute the 'good oil' on the problems of energy depletion and growing your own food, chooks – all that stuff.

I hope this collective will give support to the odd lonely local peaker and will demonstrate community strength which will encourage our Hornsby Council to get more with it on these matters.

Good work TOD!

Looks good Oonce!

May I suggest the amazing book "The Self-Sufficient Life and How To Live It" by John Seymour?

http://www.amazon.com/Self-sufficient-Life-How-Live/dp/0789493322

If you have not yet read this book, get it! and tell everybody on your site about it!

I ordered about 400 dollars worth of books from Amazon, and this one book contains all the information I was hoping to get from the rest.
