It’s not often I get to announce a new blog that at least in part is mine! Together with Rebsie of Daughter of the Soil, we have created a new joint blog, Root Cause. Be sure to add it to your bookmarks and RSS feeds! Please visit now and have a look at our first post concerning Perennial Onions.
I don’t know about the future, but for now our emphasis is on things people do themselves. Many people have a blog they use to gather information, create a journal, have a platform in which to express their opinion, talk about products they like using or just to write about things they think are important. In the beginning at least, we are trying to offer something that is none of those things, but rather emphasizes things that people are doing themselves and want to talk about.
Rebsie and I are both gardeners, and plan to share with you what we are growing. In particular Rebsie is an amateur plant breeder, and will almost certainly be showing off some of her creations. I hope we can find people who are raising animals, farming, cooking, building things, working on self-sufficiency projects and anything else people do themselves. Of particular interest would be things of a heirloom or heritage nature, or things related to biodiversity.
Are you doing something that you would like to write about? Maybe you don’t want to go to the trouble of having your own blog, and would just like to write something one off? Maybe you have your own blog, but would like an excuse to post somewhere else as a way to promote it and interact with other bloggers? Whatever your reasons, if you would like to make a guest post on this new blog, please get in touch with us!
I think your blog(s) are very interesting. I would like to put a link to them on our tonsoftulips blog if you are o.k. with that?
Hi Marina — Your blog looks great! I didn’t know there was a tulip museum in Amsterdam, and I live down the street from the Anne Frank House. I will have to go over there for a visit.
That would be very nice if you put a link to either or both of the blogs. Thanks for leaving the nice comment. Best wishes with your business!
Thanks so much! I will add the link – and we would sure appreciate to be linked on your blog as well!
I’ll be reading all your entries with interest – liked the one about the ‘onnodigheid’ of fertilizers a lot. I’m gardening organic in our huge backyard and am the big exception on a street where everybody uses weedkiller in order to keep an already unnatural lawn even more unnatural green, eh, eh!
There is much need for a more natural approach in the Midwest, that’s why I want to promote your blog on ours.
Groetjes,
Marina (en de bollenjongen heet Cor)
I’ve added this new blog to my favourites list!
