Liked Permaculture Media Blog on FB!
I also liked this for Google+ and followed your facebook page (was kinda disappointed that you didn't have a Google+ page). So that should have me entered in the drawing for another two times, for a total of four. Yay!
I really enjoyed this article. The more people who wake up and embrace this way of thinking (and life).

My favorite go-to source for endless homesteading advice is Countryside Magazine. Here's a link to their library of on-line articles:
http://www.countrysidemag.com/library.html
...and here's one of my favorites - a bunch of ideas for cleaning products made from scratch:
http://www.countrysidemag.com/issues/87/87-1/A_L_Terry.html
my favorite articles this year have been watching the trademark dispute over the term urban homesteading.

This sounds like a great book. We have 2 acres, but don't "use" it all. We raise pigs & rabbits.

Fabulous resource here - thanks!
All the best, Karl
Reading about this book made me want to get into my garden again. It is quite productive but only for a few months. There must be a way to get more out of it. If I win this book I will be very happy. Otherwise I am Off to the library.

Hard to pick my favorite article on the blog because there are many great ones.
But perhaps it might be this video on the absurdity of lawns with Ethan Roland (who is part of a permaculture design firm called Terra Genesis International with my good friend Christian Shearer http://www.terra-genesis.com/about/team/)
