Hi again,

Having looked through your blog, I am starting to get inspired to review my future plans for organic permaculture estate and also to restart my defunct SustainableLivingSolutions.com portal as a blog.

Hope you get a good little traffic burst, your blog certainly deserves it!

Bradley

Very useful information. I myself have just started a blog called Urban Subsistence Living and I am proposing an Introductory Challenge. I would be honored if you would visit the new blod and contribute ideas to a sustainable subsistence strategy for a sample one-bedroom urban apartment. http://urbansubsistenceliving.blogspot.com/
