Dave, what would you do with the existing preserving and recipe threads? From past discussions, my understanding is that you want all the forums to be garden related and didn't want a specific forum for recipes / cooking?
If the thread was not just general "cooking" or "recipes" like on other garden websites, but a more specific title ….something like ..."Preparing & Preserving Your Harvest" ? That would keep the forum garden related, but still fill a need for people to ask questions and discuss ways to use their veggies and fruits that they grow. Most people grow veggies to eat them and what better place to ask questions about ways to prepare/preserve them than to other gardeners. The "whats for dinner" threads would stay in the Sandbox, for example, while the current threads that Wes has about buying a canner, and chelle has about pickling veggies - would fit in the new forum that would be made when you split up this current forum. I think a title like that would discourage someone from posting a recipe for BBQ pork for example, but would encourage someone to ask if they had a question on the best way to dehydrate the extra bushel of apples from their tree.
Well, unless they are members of the Farm forum and just harvested a pig…. then BBQ pork might fit….
