    NOTES

    THE FORUM is meant for long-standing information, technical stuff and questions related to smallholder and farming life

    THE BLOG section allows you to share anecdotes and personal experiences. If you're LOOKING for something, please post in the BLOG section, not the Forum. The Blog section gets cleaned up occasionally so blog entries should not be regarded as permanent.

    THE PHOTOS section allows you to upload pictures of your animals, plot, interests etc. Be aware that there is no copyright attached to these pictures so they can and may be used by others.

    THE EVENTS section allows you to notify other members about activities in your area ~ fetes, farmers markets, bazaars etc, etc.

    +++

    To advertise ANYTHING for free, make an entry on the FREECYCLE forum post. It will be displayed for only ten days, whereafter it will be deleted. Should you wish to advertise in the Gauteng Smallholder magazine please go to the Magazine Data tab at the top right of this page, or contact me directly for rates, terms and conditions.

    +++

    While robust debate is encouraged, please be respectful of the sensibilities of others: No racism, sexism or religion-bashing, please.

    +++

    This site is a work-in-progress and as such is constantly changing. If you have any suggestions or complaints please let me know directly.

    Thanks, Pete Bower
