Response to Claire's Profile

First off, good job in showing why this is something that we should care about. I was simply much more entertained than I would have imagined for an article that is ostensibly about organic and sustainable gardening. Your descriptions of Ben Cooper were really humorous and helped give a knowing, but light, tone to the piece and I also thought that you had a really insightful way of getting information out about the type of people that are involved in D.I.R.T. because at least for myself, I didn’t know until very recently that anything like this was going on around here nor did I know where the garden was, which you usefully included.
I also enjoyed how you made yourself part of the narrative as you wrote “I asked…”. Perhaps, it would be neat if you had dialogue with some of the members youself or strengthened your presence within the text, it could be very interesting if you became a larger character in your profile. How would sustainable gardening and D.I.R.T. affect you? Were you able to follow any crops that may already have been grown in previous gardens? That would be interesting to see if you could trace any of that. Overall, great piece and I look forward to the final work.
