\"\"There is an abundance of valuable knowledge, advice, and wisdom shared in the NTVG Facebook group<\/a>, but Facebook is a poor tool for storing and categorizing this information. For those that feel compelled to help save good information and help more people grow their own food, here are some ideas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Answer questions on social media with known-good answers and provide links to the answers when possible (such as individual answers found in the NTVG Knowledgebase<\/a>, NTVG forum<\/a>, or the NTVG blog<\/a>, university websites, master gardener websites, etc)      <\/li>\n
  2. Preserve good information by copying conversations and\/or links to the NTVG forum<\/a> in a relevant category or board. <\/li>\n
  3. Create new articles based on your own experience or your own research. Ideally, articles will contain a few pictures and links to sources for more information that are considered reputable. Publish the article in a way that will give it a permanent home, then link to the article in the NTVG forum<\/a> using an appropriate category and board.<\/li>\n
  4. Volunteer to help answer questions in the Ask NTVG Facebook group<\/a>.  More experienced gardeners might also consider signing up to answer questions submitted to the NTVG helpdesk<\/a>, where they can be assigned to a specialty team so questions in their field of expertise are assigned to them, and then creating FAQ articles in the NTVG Knowledgebase<\/a> for questions that get asked frequently.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
