Although this might not be the list to post such matter –
I am told – I’m going to lay this out and let it be for now: Ken responded as follows: I am currently developing a website called
upickers.com to support the small farmer and the marketing of their
produce (selling direct to the public). If there is enough interest, I can
start on a weeds site as well. I do have a background (formal career) and
degree in Range Management (as well as Computer Science) and know quite a bit
about noxious weeds and the traditional (chemical and biological) treatments.
And as you know, I also collect native plant seeds for native plant nurseries
and reclamation companies. So I do have a strong background in botany. There is
alot of information on the internet from the various Universities, County
extensions and such on weeds, organic, composting, etc. But nothing on
practical applications for particular areas or regions, particular methods, and
such. "Theoretically" soil types, local environmental conditions, etc
might come into play in the success or failure of traditional recommended
control of weeds. So a web site with local information I think would be
appropriate - as well as folks just having a place to find someone in their own
communities. But there would have to be some interest in such a website and I
would need to find someway to fund the site. Will see about putting a database
out on the web later this summer just to see what the interest might be. I will join the list later on this week,
gotta get over to one of my client nurseries today. Will be stopping by to drop
off the microscope. Ken Boettger Ellensburg, WA Web Development, Database and Online
