We put this list of questions together to help us get to know you better and to help you connect better with other members.

a) What general region are you from? Do you know your growing zone?

b) How did you hear about The Grow Network?

d) What do you wish to learn from TGN and its members? How do you feel we can we best serve you and meet your needs?

e) Growing your own _____ is a journey of discovery & personal accomplishment.What goals do you want to accomplish within the next month? The next year?

f) Where does your knowledge/expertise/passion/skills lie with regards to growing your own food or growing your own medicine?

g) What else would you like to share with us (job, hobbies, animals, etc.)? A friendly reminder: please don't post any identifying information. It will get removed.

    Hello Africans! My husband used to bring dried leaves from Africa, the simple tea of these leaves would break kidney stones into very small pieces. My husband's teacher from his elementary school suffered from kidney stones, so he brought him this African herb, and that was the end of the teacher's sufferings. Now, my daughter gets kidney stones and I am trying to find this herb, but I do not remember its name. I am wondering if somebody knows it.

    @Nicoleburba Would you mind copying & pasting this question into the Natural & Home Medicine category:

    It will be seen by more people with all sorts of herbal knowledge.

    Maybe by giving it the header of: "Want to Know: Name of Kidney Stone Herbal (Leaf) Tea from Africa" you might get your answer faster. We don't have many members from Africa as of yet...maybe only one or two.

    This discussion is for short introductions for members of this continent to learn where other members are within their continent.

    No harm done, just giving you a suggestion that should bring faster results, especially considering the issue at hand. ;)
