2013

 * How to spend a $37 venture capital infusion -- Wired, January 21st 2013
 * "So what are the winners spending their investment money on? Everything from gooseberry seeds to cake pops to beer to WordPress themes. Mostly, though, they’re buying web hosting. And they say the small seed investment is oddly motivating."


 * Cultivating an app for how your garden grows -- Grist, July 29th 2013
 * "On the internet, it’s generally our personal data that’s cultivated, harvested, and converted into profits. Perhaps freely sharing data might be the thing that sets Growstuff apart. After all, gardeners have always been good about sharing their bounty."

Interviews

 * Interview with Alex "Skud" Bayley, Founder of Growstuff and Social Justice Activist -- The Ada Initiative blog, August 14th 2013
 * "The whole project grew out of the question, “Is there a free database of what crops you can grow and how to grow them?” There’s no such database available — at least not with worldwide data, though there may be some localised ones — but we can build it ourselves from the bottom up, by aggregating information about what individuals are growing all over the world."


 * An Interview with Alex Bayley of Growstuff
 * "Skud had committed to open sourcing the site and making the development and planning process for it transparent, decisions that chilled me to the very marrow, but which she considered crucial to the success of her project. Reasoning that I had the most to learn from people who took a radically different approach, I forked over the $37 and sat back to see what would happen."
