Comment by Jeremy Spiers on June 20, 2011 at 2:32am: Thought I'd drop a note in the discussion, though there hasn't been life here for quite a while. Did anything ever develop out of your plan? And I was also wondering roughly where you are on the Tuckahoe... I probably don't live more that 3 miles from where you are, as the crow flies...

Great discussion.
I am a new member and understand you may want to utilize this land?
I have experience in organic farming and am looking for a place to start year-round food production. If interested, you can get back to me here or:

Thanks,

Comment by Barrett Buie on May 28, 2009 at 7:18pm: Hey Alex, another question, looking at the pic of your land there looks like a creek or small river that runs through it. Do you have a problem with fishing? I still want to help you with the garden as well. You have a great location to grow some really good stuff like melons, mushrooms, corn for sure, etc. You have enough room to grow a great organic garden. You could sell the produce at the local markets to help off-set the cost as well.

Comment by Barrett Buie on May 28, 2009 at 11:51am: amen to that

Comment by Alex Pulsipher on May 28, 2009 at 9:02am: Most of the committed environmentalists that I know understand that hunters fund an enormous amount of wildlife protection.
More and more I think that environmental protection is a question of "use it or lose it".

Comment by Barrett Buie on May 27, 2009 at 6:09pm: We can meet anytime. I live in old north Knoxville. I gave you my number and email, you just call or send a message and we can do some lunch or dig some dirt for gardening, your choice; Like I said I just enjoy the outdoors, I just don't have the means to enjoy them..ha Have you looked at my page to see my garden and stuff? If not please do.

Comment by Barrett Buie on May 27, 2009 at 6:03pm: You are probably correct. There are a lot of PC people on this site and probably don't like people that hunt, I just run into this a lot, I am very concerned with our environment, but I am also a hunter and sometimes those two don't sit well.

Comment by Alex Pulsipher on May 27, 2009 at 5:52pm: That'd be great. I'm kind of out of commission for a while, but don't let that hold you back. When can you meet? I'm out of town next week.

Comment by Alex Pulsipher on May 27, 2009 at 5:49pm: I think you may be leaping to conclusions. I could be wrong, but I think Tracie was just confused about what we were talking about.

Comment by Barrett Buie on May 27, 2009 at 5:47pm: And on another note. I would love to help you build a garden on your property. I have a ton of seeds to grow almost anything you want but I don't have the room. I think you have a great area to grow melons, pumpkins, gourds, etc.
