next Mon Nov 16 "Home-Scale Grain Growing in Santa Barbara"

[LBUZ...@aol.com]

On Monday, Nov 16th the Santa Barbara Permaculture Guild will offer a free presentation and discussion on "Home-Scale Grain Growing in Santa Barbara," featuring well-known local garden and farm expert Marshall Chrostowski, landscape manager of the Pacifica Graduate Institute campus and market garden and other local members with grain-growing experience. 

 

The event will take place from 7 - 9 pm in the Holy Cross church auditorium behind the church at 1740 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara, next to the Mesa Fire Station.

 

Marshall will talk about the pros and cons of various summer and winter grains for South Coast climate and soil conditions, including oats, barley, amaranth, quinoa, rice, spelt, heritage wheats, etc. and how to obtain, grow and harvest the best grains in our area.

 

The meeting will include a potluck -- please bring food/drink to share and your own cup, plate, utensils and napkin. We try to generate no trash!

 

We also hope to have brief reports by local permaculture guild members on the recent Bioneers conference and the International Permaculture Convergence that is meeting in Africa in early November.

From Kate and Brian Smith: 

 

For sale:  TWO All-Electric Chevy S-10's...White pick-up trucks (not mentioned in the movie "Who Killed the EV?" but from the same GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. 1997.  Cost per truck was $100,000.  Most were destroyed at the end of the program.)

 

The truck batteries were converted by the famous EV Bones to the lithium-cadium (?) and it cost $10,000 per truck.

 

The trucks are light-weight (not heavy-duty enough for my husband's newspaper delivery business) and are in good condition.

 

There is a charger for each truck.  The truck will go 50 miles but should then be plugged in so that the batteries do not get "run down" below a 50% charge.

 

The price is substantially reduced if you buy both of them, as one is in good working order but the other is questionable...$15,000. for both.
