Thanks very much. I've only a small allotment for growing fruit & veg so your collection would be alongside my dream of a smallholding (I so much want to keep bees!) More recently I've started studying on historical aspects of gardening and food use as compensation.
thanks very much, just had a quick peek through yours and it dwarfs mine! v imppressive. I have to be honest though, they havnt had much use since iv been living in a flat and unable to afford an allotment :(
I am moving soon and will have a tiny garden to grow in, a start on the dream. whats the growing like in aussie? your where permaculture all began.
I would find it unbearable to get rid of 4000 books but as you said it makes room in the place to collect more and obtaining the books is half the fun.

My brother had a twelve acre plot and built a house of rammed earth construction. He used to collect old tractors and farm implements along with the odd stationery engine. He's more recently downsized to about an acre and an 'off the peg' house. He's a part-time 'grey nomad' now in his converted school bus and drove over to Taz a couple of years ago.
I've long beeen a fan of DS9/TNG/Voyager on TV (repeated daily here) but only just started collecting some of the books. We don't seem to share any Star Trek titles yet, but there are a hell of a lot of them!
Sorry to hear your news - he lives on in you. My brother sent me a message today, he just got home from a visit to Perth.
A great selection of books being added there.

Happy collecting/reading/growing!

Thanks for the welcome to the group!
Hi there, Last year was a wash out in the UK. It seemed to rain almost constantly and was a very poor year for growers. The weather people had promised us 'a scorcher' of a summer this year but then last months decided it was going to be wet after all.

The slugs and snails seem to decimate the treasured plants and leave the weeds alone!
Good to see more books on the shelves, especially John Seymour. Soon be Spring your way eh? A very mixed Summer in the UK - Brilliant Sunshine one day and then overcast with heavy rain the next. Humid and damp, great for snails and slugs!
I see you have 'The Chinese Art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan' by Chee Soo in your library as do I. I met Chee Soo a number of times. He used to live in Coventry(UK).
G'day mate! Thanks for adding my library to you 'interesting libraries' category. You have plenty of interesting stuff too it seems. I'm not a heritage seed grower but support the work of Garden Organic(HDRA)Heritage Seed Library.
You live three hours drive from my brother in WA.
Thanks for the invite. Not sure how much I will be able to contribute (not the world's best gardener), but I look forward to gleaning a few tips...
Thanks for suggesting the Self-Sufficiency Thingers. I don't spend much time on here during the warm months and hadn't come across the group before.
Hi Gavin - thanks for adding me to your interesting libraries list. I'm flattered! We're trying to do the self-sufficiency thing too - although I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with weeds at the moment - just on my way back outside to battle with them further.

Cheers,

Amanda
Hi Gavin,
many thanks for adding my library to your list!
I still have a lot of books to add to it, including many self-sufficiency, permaculture and gardening ones. I'm checking through your library now too, yours looks quite interesting. Balingup, eh? Was in Perth and southwest coast two years ago.
All the best,
Tim (Gurdur)
Thanks for the link. I'm not much of a gardener - not enough time - but I have been doing environmental work for 20 years or so.
Thank you very much. Your self-sufficiency collection is pretty impressive, too. I obviously have to expand mine in the direction of permaculture.
Thanks for your interest Gavin - the library goes back to the early '70's when I started work in horticulture. My favourite book from those years is still my favourite - George Seddon's 'Sense of Place" He hated the errors the publishers made but I was happy to overlook that.
My interest in science fiction started with Ray Bradbury during high school. Have now joined the Australian Gardeners group - I work with plants again after 10 years in the book trade, and have a home garden I don't ever seem to get control of.
I'm afraid I am a very lazy gardener, but I do love to read about it... Its a shame we are antipodean, or we could swap some books.

Still, the greenhouse is now looking busy and I have a few things outside too.
Glad you like my library - I am happy to return the compliment! However many bookshelves do your gardening books fill? Should be very interested in any reviews you write.
Hi! Thanks for the "Interesting Libraries" linkage (and good luck with the self-sufficiency thing).

- Bob
Hi and thanks for the friend invite - I love gardening books that you've got catalogued.

We're doing the self-sufficiency thing on 2 acres in the hills just outside Melbourne :)
