Food is Renewable Energy

Jump to Comments

Growing your own food is beneficial on a variety of levels.

Canada’s York University has up quite a comprehensive blog about their Community Garden, I took a particular interest in their page update about their tomatoes.

If you haven’t started your seeds yet, check out this A-Z Gardening post for “seed starting secrets” – even though they blog about short season climates – Zones 3-4, the information throughout is still very useful for us in warmer zones.

Some people in warmer zones might even be ready to transplant their tomatoes/peppers — I found some tips with pictures on Flying Tomato Farm.

Anyone out there interested in hydroponic vegetables to maximize urban yields? Perhaps you should look at this list of links that might help you with materials… or perhaps you might want to test out this fun ecogaget:

Finally! An infomercial I can believe in! A few of those in one household might be a good investment, no? Anyone out there want to play with some figures?

Mmmm, Imagine an Aerogarden with Strawberries!

Think we could impress Chicago????

  • Oh I love my aerogarden :) I’m an apartment dweller, so while I’d love to play in the dirt, I have to make do. It yields an astonishing amount of herbs for me.
