Not getting enough e-mail?  Here's a way to fix that problem forever.

The following is taken from 'Mailing Lists for Gardeners', the newest 
addition to the The Garden Gate WWW site.

The Garden Gate            http://www.prairienet.org/ag/garden/homepage.htm
The Garden Gate at SunSITE  http://sunsite.unc.edu/garden-gate/homepage.htm

To subscribe to a mailing list, send e-mail addressed to the LISTSERV
address, not the list.  Your only message text should read:
	subscribe listname FirstName LastName

To send messages to the list, send e-mail addressed to the LIST address.

To unsubscribe to a mailing list, send e-mail to the LISTSERV.  Your
only text should read:
	unsubscribe listname

listproc = listserv = majordomo  These are the programs that actually
handle automatic subscriptions and mail distributions to subscribers.

                      Mailing Lists for Gardeners

 Here is a collection of mailing lists for gardeners taken from a search of
 the Dartmouth List of Lists (Via Nova-Links) as well as various other
 sources. 

 Please note that not all of the following list information has been 
 personally verified.  I welcome all additions and corrections via e-mail 
 to [email-masked].
 
 Be aware that some of these lists, notably gardens at KYU, can generate a
 considerable volume of daily e-mail.

 Some of these lists are aimed at serious enthusiasts. Please respect a
 list's charter. Before you post any queries, take some time to learn the
 level and content of the traffic on the list.
