Victory! gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, are vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences in Tacoma during the WORLD CREDIBILITY CRISIS to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by PEAK OIL. These gardens are also considered a civil "morale booster" - in that gardeners can feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown. Today making victory gardens has become a part of daily life at the Holistic Forge Works.

The PosiGrav™ Tomato Planter System

Tomato plant vines sprawl as they grow, requiring time and attention to keep them properly staked above ground. These ingenious planters, which look nothing like bundt cake pans, take the toil out of growing tomatoes by elevating the planting bed and allowing your vines to grow downward from a hole in the bottom. The hanging vines need almost no attention and ensure that tomatoes ripen in the air where they won't rot. Thus you don't have to worry about tomato cages or stakes because the plants grow upside down with our PosiGrav™ gravity system. These compact planters can fit in any space with maximum sunlight, weed free.

Cartoonists Northwest HFW Guest Speaker Symposium

There are some odd, odd sites on the Internet. And our July guest speaker Richard Ryan Anderson has certainly created one of the most delightfully unusual: Holistic Forge Works [dot] com. The site proudly proclaims that the company has a "fictional founding father..." who created the business in response to seeing airborne reptiles: "In 1887 Doctor Fronzel Ambrose Neekburn... arrived in Southeast Alaska... to investigate native accounts of mysterious animals with golden wings... When Neekburn climbed a tree to avoid an angry creditor, his eye caught a movement in the clear summer sky... flying turtles!" Among the company's pseudo products are giant painted turtles (only $200,000-"perfect for home or office"), INSTA-FARM® World's Only Farm in a Can!™ and an "Atomic Dustbin Robot Friend!" The site is also home to Anderson's flash web comic, Rex Rerun Lives!™ On the slightly more serious side, Anderson makes his living creating websites, doing 3D media design; and creating corporate and commercial art.

Last year, his story, Space Dog, won first place in the "Best Art" category of CNW's Spawns of Insomnia II competition.
