See how using one's brains and observing nature, it is possible to grow ORANGES and LEMONS in the AUSTRIAN ALPS at close to 5,000 feet altitude not in greenhouses, but as REGULAR TREES. Using the same principles, you can grow ANYTHING in Southern California. So... JUST DO IT! (That's what Victory Gardening is all about!)
P.L.E.A.S.E. GARDENING is the most cutting-edge and powerful approach there is, and it is yours just for the asking. Here is is an introduction video to one of its simplest and most time-proven approach, usually known as "Square Foot Gardening", which goes back to Rudolf Steiner's 1924 Lessons.
But PLEASE READ THIS WARNING before watching or downloading videos!
P.L.E.A.S.E. GARDENING is the most cutting-edge and powerful approach there is, and it is yours just for the asking. Here is is an introduction video to one of its simplest and most time-proven approach, usually known as "Square Foot Gardening", which goes back to Rudolf Steiner's 1924 Lessons.
But PLEASE READ THIS WARNING before watching or downloading videos!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: HOW TO USE ANTI-VIRUS & ANTI MALWARE SOFTWARE WHEN WATCHING OR DOWNLOADING VIDEOS FROM THE NET, and PRACTICE "SAFE SURFING"!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you use these URLs to play or download the following video files, which are just video files any computer can play, avoid clicking on advertising, and DO NOT "upgrade" to get "quicker downloads" or whatever, and certainly do NOT download or "install" anything like the "Badongo Toolbar" or ANY "toolbar"! These are just super-spyware that will collect all the information possible on you, and worse! If you read their "terms of service" (something no one does, but we did), you'd have a heart attack!
Not only would they collect "personally identifiable information" if you allowed them to install their spyware, but you wouldn't even have any remedy if they installed virus, trojans, worms, *any* form of spyware, including keyloggers, or even simply remotely destroyed your computer! You have been warned...
As for the files themselves, they are just videos you can play or download. This is normally completely safe. Anything else, is simply "DON'T DO IT"! This warning is actually valid for anything similar, such as the "Yahoo Toolbar", etc, although its of course a bit more mainstream and less abusive. Uninstall or delete such things, if they already are in your computer! Download and use reputable f r e e anti-spyware programs and anti-virus programs! And run these programs after downloading and before playing *anything*.
You can (and should, if you haven't done it yet) install the following two f r e e anti-spyware programs:
Ad-Aware, which can be found on the CNET.com download page here:
http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Anniversary-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5
Spybot - Search & Destroy, which can be found here:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html
If Norton, McAfee or Kasperski tell you not to install Spybot because of "compatibility issues" here is what Spybot has to say: "The top reasons why people uninstall Spybot-S&D are those three malicious antivirus companies who force their users to uninstall our software for so-called, but never proven, incompatibility issues. Against these, all we can do is continuing down the legal road, and the feedback at least helps us getting more exact numbers."
They tell the exact truth: There are no incompatibilities, only an attempts to corner the market for commercial software, at the costs of a f r e e software that has over 100 Million users.
The best two f r e e anti-virus programs (together, superior to any paid-for AV program) are Avast and AVG. They are superior to the three above-named commercial anti-virus companies with shady practices, and both are f r e e for personal use, on as many machines as you want:
Avast Anti-Virus can be found here:
http://avast.com/ and downloaded from cnet.com:
http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Home-Edition/3000-2239-10019223.html?part=dl-AvastHome&subj=dl&tag=button
You will need any throw-away (or even "real", as in our experience, they don't spam) email address to get a f r e e license number for private use. That is fine -- we have no idea why they collect them, since it appears they never use them or sell them. The licensing page (for which you need an email address) is here:
http://avast.com/eng/home-registration.php
AVG Anti-Virus can be found here:
http://free.avg.com/ download it can be downloaded directly from here:
http://www.avg.com/filedir/inst/avg_free_stf_en_85_287a1483.exe
(Don't get caught with the "Free Upgrade" (which is "powered by TrialPay" -- that is, you have to "complete an offer"...) Installing its complement "AVG LinkScanner® Free Edition Real-time protection against online threats such as hacked or infected web pages" could be useful too. "Makes your search and surf safe" (let's tone that down to "a bit safer"). It can be found here:
http://free.avg.com/download?prd=lsf or directly downloaded from:
http://www.avg.com/filedir/inst/avg_lsf_stf_en_85_289.exe
AVG also has an integrated download manager, if you need one:
http://www.avg.com/filedir/inst/avg_lsf_stb_en_8_18.exe
It is possible to install AVG over Avast and have both running, which is supposedly not possible. In our experience this works just fine if you install Avast first. And you decided to install only one, it is possible that AVG is marginally better, as it has some anti-malware aspects. However, it has no rootkit (a particularly annoying form of malware) detection or protection, while Avast does.
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/housecall/
is a secure external scan of your computer by another anti-virus company (the same that produces "HiJack This"). You might want to do this too, as it might detect something missed by Avast and AVG (but these two will detect malware that "Housecall" won't).
Another good thing to do would be to try their f r e e "BotNet Detector, which you can get on this page:
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/rubotted
Do NOT EVER download anything that ~pretends~ to be an anti-virus or anti-malware program, registry scanner, etc... that has not be recommended by a truly reputable source, PARTICULARLY IF it pops-up out of nowhere in a seemingly "Windows Internal Message" or Fly-in. Numerous virus, trojans, spywares, etc, pretend to be the opposite of what they are... If you find no other way out when one tries to install itself, use Control-Alt-Delete depressed simultaneously, and shut down, or even just unplug the power cord from your machine.
Another very useful tool is the "HiJack This" Registry Keys analyzer. However, don't delete anything after a scan, unless you actually know what you are doing! You can find it here:
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download
along with directions about how to submit a scan for comments by knowledgeable people before deleting anything.
After this long but necessary introduction to security (triggered by actually *reading* the "Badongo Toolbar" "Terms of Service"), and realizing that we might unwittingly indirectly cause people to install de-facto malware such as the Badongo toolbar, here is a first batch of links to relevant videos about Organic Victory Gardening, which we believe to be quite educational, and highly encourage you to watch:
