[Cob] magazine?Amanda Peck ap615 at hotmail.comMon Mar 28 22:55:16 CST 2005
Open to suggestion here! Nothing specific I know of on cob. So these are really general. A couple of ezines or blogs. One from Texas--if you go to the wolf page, you'll hear a howl that terrified one of my cats. http://www.rebelwolf.com And Kelly Hart's: http://www.greenhomebuilding.com/weblog/archive/2004_12_01_archive.htm And in print Countryside has bad paper, reports from thems that are doing it, often bad pictures. But they love an acquaintance, he gets published every year or so--his pictures aren't bad, getting better, too. And there's something very similar that has a guns for self-defense column, although it's columnist based. Mother Earth News has better photographs, better written, generally. But it had a bad reputation for a while at least. (S E L L O U T) Home Power seems to be catering now to people who can do $60,000+ cogeneration (or really high-end off-grid) systems. (There's lots and lots of tax incentives to sell electricity back to the grid. Unfortunately this may make PV out of reach for those who want a small independent system--already there's a pretty serious shortage of panels, and prices are going up in step with the tax incentives) I generally do get Natural Home, and the Taunton Press version Inspired Home (it could be the other way round) as well as the others, because the pictures in those two are so nice, and I occasionally find ads for things I'm looking for sources for. And every once in a while an article IS good. One of these days I may get up enough energy to actually subscribe to the British Permaculture magazine, articles have been all over the place in this one,from cob to farming in Kenya or some nearby country. Ah, you can subscribe on-line (occasionally a not-too-distant bookstore has it in stock): http://www.permaculture.co.uk/PP/About.html .......... Carmen asks So, is there a magazine for the rest of us? :)
