Kspitz’s Weblog

Well, so far I find it rather helpful to recieve news articles automatically although  I can see how it might get a little overwhelming if not managed correctly.  I’m not sure how to delete the articles that I don’t need…still practicing.

From Google News:  

So far, the articles I have received on community gardening are mostly local news and event calendars – helpful, maybe, but not exactly the kind of info I seek.  

I received an article from the Des Moines Register - an interview with the new Iowa Secretary of Agriculture. He mentioned some of the efforts that Des Moines is making to curb soil erosion within the urban areas and to deal with the issue of lawn herbacides polluting storm water runoff.

I also have a feed from the New York Times sending articles dealing with nutrition and the environment. So far I have recieved an article about a mother’s battle with her child’s food allergies – a problem that is becoming very common these days.

I look forward to recieving more news… …
