From Tiny Farm Wiki
Tiny Farm Wiki is an online, user-created small-scale farming encyclopedia and discussion site that runs on wiki software. You are encouraged to contribute content, including questions!
The basic "rule" of using a wiki is that content is made to be improved. Unlike regular web sites, blogs, and forums, on a wiki, you can change other people's writing, and expect your own to be edited as well. It's all about working together...
You can freely browse the site. To contribute, simply register (a username and email address are all it takes, and it's instant) and log in, and you can edit any page by clicking the edit tab that will appear at the top of the page when you're logged in.
Try it out!! You can experiment on the Sandbox page.
[edit] Read first!
This site may be slow-moving, but it's always alive, waiting for your contributions! I add to it as time permits, less so during the growing season (May-Oct). --Mike (tfb) 07:57, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
