Several of our dearly departed provided a lot of great wisdom for growers on this site. Many of us benefited, myself included.
I would like to do something about preserving that great knowledge. I am looking for volunteers to comb through such great threads as 'Making it Rain,' Uncle Ben's Gardening Tweaks and Pointers' and others, digesting them down to the essentials. The idea is to develop a handful of threads where newbs and veterans alike can get to the good stuff without wading through hundreds or thousands of posts.
I hope to develop a dozen or so of these abridged threads. If you are well familiar with one of the 'great threads,' post here and signal your interest in participating in the project, indicating your thread of interest. For quality control, I recommend writing (pasting) everything out in a word processing file first, so we can circulate it amongst ourselves for edits before posting on the site.
I am hopeful that the mods will recognize this as a great way to keep the knowledge alive, and not consider it 'double posting' (Mods, you are invited to comment).
I respectfully request that this thread remain free of drama. I waited until things calmed down a bit before posting this. If things get out of hand I will personally ask the mods to close the thread and I will drop the project.
I hope that some folks will step forward. RIU has some of the best info on growing out there, and we need to keep it going.
