I've been following this over the last 24 hours. Lots of B.S. being slung at really good people and I suggest we wait and let the smoke clear. The Dervais family has had a legitimate operation, with copyrighted titles for some time, just as many other businesses do. One of the facebook entries likens them to Monsanto, but let's be fair. Mel Bartholemew owns the name Square-foot Gardening, but how many of us use the term without even thinking about it? I'm partial to the Dervais family, I've followed them for years. But they have been attacked by a vitriolic few who are causing trouble and spreading lies and half-truths. Give it time.

not slinging a single thing here folks. nor am I voicing my opinion. I simply posted these links to allow folks to do with the info as they may. I am offering up no more comments/commentary on this. Simply a sharing of info. Thank you.
