Author Micheal Judd has launched a kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of a new book on America’s wonderful native pawpaw:

“I have been passionate about paw paws for a number of years and am set to create a mini manual that jumps right into growing, caring for, harvesting, and using paws paws – from seed to table. To make this possible I am asking support from my extended community to help cover publishing costs; full design, layout and print ready files.

By jumping in and helping Kickstart this Paw Paw Mini Manual you will help create a resource that will inspire and guide thousands to plant and care for trees that provide food, medicine, habitat, and regenerative ecosystems – all of which will be very good for the planet and your karma.”

I don’t believe in karma, but I do believe in pawpaws – and in Michael Judd’s knowledge and writing skill. I bought his book Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist when it came out a couple years back.

$25 and you’ll get your own signed copy of his upcoming pawpaw book. Sounds like a deal to me. Back it here.
