When I found out that I would be hosting a Mother Earth News subscription giveaway, I was so excited for you!
I have been a reader of Mother Earth News for many years, but I admit there are times when funds are low and I don't see an issue for a while. Maybe the same thing has happened to you. Have you looked at it lately? In the last few months, they have really stepped it up. It has something for everyone; gardeners, farmers, cooks, and handymen. I love the feel of the cover and pages. And the pictures are so amazing! I was inspired on so many levels.
In this one magazine you can learn so many new things: organic gardening, natural health and herbs, new recipes, Do-it-Yourself projects, green living and renewable energy ideas. The newest issues runs the gamut from Benefits of Cork Floors to How to Raise Chickens in Your Back Yard.

Hi Jane Marie, what a great giveaway! I grew up on Mother Earth News, but haven't had a subscription in years (pinching pennies.) The Green Transportation section was new to me. Other than feet and bicycles, there weren't many green transportation options back when I was a regular reader!
Instructions for DIY projects (ie, how to convert a car to run on alternative methods rather than gas).
wpfarmgirl@yahoo.com
I found a link for free downloads for houseplans for Green Homes.
The amount of information was impressive. The downloads included cost estimates, links to products featured in the design, projections of energy costs. Very impressive.

I really like the Ask the Experts section. I'm so not an expert - so it's interesting to me that others are....and I love that they are so willing to help.
Great contest - thank you!
I like the organic gardening section. Unfortunately here in Louisville we have to watch what we grow. We were fined several hundred dollars for growing Kentucky Goldenrod, the state flower, because the inspector thought it was a weed. It would be nice if they got some training.
I found alternative possibilities for dealing with ants which have shown up below the bird cage. They are thrilled with whatever seeds and food bits hit the floor. Anyway MotherEarth readers indicated success with cinnamon and spearmint used around various small pet cages. We've never subscribed to MotherEarth - thanks to your promotion I at least have some nontoxic suggestions to try out.
I subscribe thru Google
I learned that llamas can be used to protect livestock. I love Mother Earth News! I guess I never thought about checking out their website before. Even if I don't win, I've gained something valuable. Thanks!

I am an e-mail subscriber.
I subscribe ti Mother Earth News - newsletter. I learned that I do not visit nearly enough. Just now I learned that they wrote about kefir, which I love & their natural heath section is very informative.

If the magazine is as complete as the website, I'm sorry I haven't read it for a while! I learned that the editors are truly staying up with the changes in gardening while remaining true to what has always worked.
I loved reading my dad's copies of this as a kid! Today I learned:
The new president’s plan has renewable energy supplying 10 percent of the nation's electricity by 2012, and calls for $150 billion to develop a clean energy future.

Cut Your Food Bills in Half by eating mostly plant based food. My husband's father was a subscriber and my husband really liked reading the magazine. I'd love to get him his own subscription. Thanks.
Although I read the magazine, I had never been to their website. I didn't realize they would have fresh content daily.

The Natural Health section is my favorite - did you see that mushroom?!?
I subscribed to Mother Earth News about 30 years ago. It looks like they have more web content containing scientific information. Before it was 100% practical articles. I like the mix better now.
I like the green home building section. there are so many different types of green homes to build

I loved the Real Food section
I subscribed on Google Reader
I discovered that I can get a head start on springtime spinach growing by covering my garden bed with clear plastic right now. This will warm up the soil faster so spinach seed can be sowed earlier and spinach will be ready to harvest sooner than without the plastic. Yea!
