Thanks - I think this is a helpful approach. I would maybe suggest we try going without color at first, and see what design folks would like to to do later. Could you add the above syntax to the Quick Tips? Any objection to using html color in forum posts?

I agree that the html kind of makes editing a *little* more complex to edit, but I didn't think it would be too bad. Happy to back it off to other means to make the headers pop out a bit, and I agree we should work towards a standard look too. What do others think about colored section headings? The difference in editing is Header Text or # Header Text

One way around this, depending on the crops you have in mind would be to do no-till planting or transplanting, and use heavy mulches instead of cultivation for weed suppression. Generally an additive approach rather than extractive. It would have the added benefit of not bringing up new weeds seeds as well. You can see some of the equipment to make this work on a larger scale at [Steve Groff's farm](http://www.cedarmeadowfarm.com/OurEquipment/). On a half acre you would be able to do this approach easily by hand.

We should talk with RJ about posting sketchup files. Until he gets it figured out you could post it to the 3D warehouse and then post a link to it in the listing. [Here is a link to a sketchup Kubota](http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=925ddbdbb129e3f978fe949fc1419876&prevstart=0) I will start another thread to discuss our own sketchup library....

Good idea. farm fabrication tools as well as components would be great to add too. This might fit in with the **marketplace** concept. we had talked at last meeting we talked about fabricators subscribing to tool listings if they would be available to build entire tools or components.
