Hackers! - once again Organic Growers Alliance magazine are looking for people to do short write ups of a recently developed tool. We've contributed 2 or 3 of these now and they've been great. Not least because it helps to advance our aims of sharing knowledge and know-how about self-built farm tools. Would anyone be up for contributing something for the next issue?

We're on the look out again for someone to write a short feature about a tool they are developing - any one interested? The Organic Growers Alliance magazine have contacted us looking for a ~200w article on the tool: what it is, why needed, how it's made, how it works, any problems etc?
Anyone interested, give us a shout and we can link you up with the editor.
Cheers!
