Question for the staff

[bacpacker]

I pose this question to the staff of this fine establishment

I know we have a sub forum under food and water for "All things animal" or something to that effect Since there are quite a few folks on here who garden and/or farm to some degree, would it be possible to have a sub-forum for that as well? Maybe some along the lines of "Crops" or "Food, Feed, & seed".

It seems to me that their have been several threads on gardening, seed saving, and raising crops. To me it makes sense to have these topics seperated from long term food storage, how to purify and store water, and so forth.

No big deal if it isn't done, but I thought the question worthy to be asked. Thanks for the consideration.

I agree... It really would be nice to have a Growing/harvesting/seed saving/gardening/pest control/Canning for vegetables that end up on the table to have a topic of it's own. :) Another suggestion for a topic name is "From Soil to Harvest & Seed".

[Sniper-T]

"From Seed to Shelf"?

[Evolver]

"Horticulture"?

[The Stig]

Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry I didn't respond sooner...was out of town on a business trip.

We'll kick this around in the staff lounge. We always try to think through adding new sub-forums to avoid sub-dividing so far that we end up with a cluttered mess.

In general it sound like a great idea and there is certainly a lot of activity in the food forum so I don't worry about a sub-forum dying on the vine.

[The Stig]

If we were to create a sub-forum what should we name it (if something different than gardening & farming)?

[Echo2]

Hey....don't forget the DIY section.

[Taz Baby]

Veggie tales, food for thought, growing your own, From dirt to table,

[LUNCHBOX]

How about "A little dirt won't hurt"

[Evolver]

"Homestead Propagation",

"Growing an Ant's Homestead",

"Harvesting Ant's" (Pun intended LOL)

"From Soil to Harvest to Seed"

[Evolver]

"Farm/Garden"

"Urban and Rural Gardening" ? Not bad...

[bacpacker]

I agree with Evolver on the title farm and garden. At lest that is sort of what I asked the question in the first place. Growing feed for livestock food for humans and how to preserve both, and how to save seed for next years crops.

[Taz Baby]

I think that the farm part would be the same as the animal section. We really do need something just about gardening. (food for people) gardening for feed is for animals. Just my thoughts.

Sub-Forum has been created. Existing threads will be moved shortly. Now ... post away!!

[bacpacker]

Thanks RJ and the rest of the staff.

[Sniper-T]

Yes, thanks to all staff!

[The Stig]

Thanks RJ and the rest of the staff.

Negative. Thank you for suggesting it and starting the thread to ask for it.

I'll work on getting the existing threads moved over as time permits.

[Evolver]

Sweet!!! Thanks BP and staff.

[RedJohn]

Thank you for suggesting it and starting the thread to ask for it.

Exactly. Thanks for being here and caring for the site.
