Astroponic Garden Now Has Gemfeed

The Astroponic Garden section of my capsule now has its own dedicated Gemfeed.

The garden is my approach to "digital gardening" in Geminispace. I use it as a small stream of consciousness to think up topics or tasks for the capsule. The addition of the dedicated Gemfeed was achieved by creating a secondary gempost config file and pointing it to a new posts directory for the garden, and then building the capsule using the main config file along with the secondary config file. This was slightly tricky, as simply running gempost build will wipe out the output directory.

• First, I run gempost build using the main config file.
• I had to make a separate output directory for the garden.
• Then I rsync it into the main output directory.

I also had to add a .gitignore file to garden/static, which is the directory that holds any static files for the astroponic garden (there are none). The static files directory is required, so I had to give it something, and giving it the main static directory will copy all of the site's content over twice.
