Thread says it all. The work on organics has been slow but it is moving. I'm going to draw up a new mulching sticky soon and wanted to get community input on what else is wanted.

the ones I found most helpful / beneficial coming from the skill set of barely being able to keep a house plant a few months ago. ideally the sticky section would contain just about every important step in the organic process, from conception to finish.
a sticky with links of where to purchase some of the key things from would be nice. not sure with the site policy and all that jazz, but it would be convenient and could finally delete them from my bookmarks

Might sound dumb but one discussing water....RO, Tap, dechlorinated, go over everything and summarize which is best for organics. I'm sure most newbie organic gardeners don't realize how important it is that they dechlorinate their water first.

Something like that pretty much; a synopsis of our current methods so that the people that wander in can quickly catch up. And a table of contents on the first page of the locked mega ROLS thread.
In further support of what has been mentioned already by the others.
Environment friendly methods to source healthy soil base material. Ammending ingredients with ratios and how often for each? Where to locate ammendments in your local area and ecologically harvesting them. Composting methods thermal, wormbin, bokashi, others? Water sources. Establishing microcolonies,their types, and function. How to make teas. Foliar feeding. Organic treatments for pests and diseases. Beneficial insects and how to attract or source them. Living mulch.

all of the above
maybee pick threads that cover all the bases in each,,,subcatagory. the basic soil thread, 101, that funtimes made is great for begining, and the back n forth has added a lot
so a thread, at least one, whose main ppoint is soil composition, pest management, composting ,and fermentation, teas, nutes, natural sources(with emphasis on using ethical and sustainable wildcrafting practices)
there is a lot of killler info here, with some organic gurus, and students that are pretty bright too. lots work choosing this, great job, sterling

I think I would like to see a compilation thread of different base and recycled soil mixes input from everyone around here in organics. Simply a thread containing awesome soil mixes.
