- Nutritional Benefits
- Gardening
for Treasure
by Alice Brantley Yeager at Backwoods
Home Magazine about the benefits of home grown food.
If you look at things in a philosophical sense, there are
treasures to be had from every garden plot. Nutritious food full
of vitamins and minerals tops the list and from there it goes on
to include health benefits like fresh air, exercise, and the
pure joy of growing and using your own homegrown produce.
Compare the wonderful taste of ripe tomatoes harvested from your
garden with the flavor of tomatoes that have to be picked before
they ripen in order to be firm enough to survive the trip from a
faraway field to the produce section of the supermarket.

The literal answer to the question posed to “Mary, Mary, Quite

“by using composted soil, of course”.

Tracks Homestead - Compost Pile
by Sue Robishaw
We went through a number of different types of bins, from poles
to snowfence to chicken wire, until we came up with a fairly
long term design (I don't remember when we built it and it's
still standing so I guess it's been a fair while). It is a long
rectangular box about 12 ft by 4 ft divided into three bins.

Garden
[Includes beautiful photographs with plant ideas and tips
using a monthly gardening calendar format.] Welcome to the
Urban Garden. This website was born of my passion for
gardening; feeling the soil between my fingers, watching new buds
push their way to the light, and sharing a living cocoon of green
with birds and bugs and the wind.
Sharing ideas and hints is part of being a gardener. I get as
much enjoyment from a gardening book or sharing ideas with my family
and friends as in creating a gardening environment.
City gardening can be a challenge. There are few resources
dedicated to getting the most from the limited spaces of a patio or
deck garden. The following pages are my journal of finds and
favorites for my Zone 8 container garden. Enjoy!

- Patio Gardening
- Turn Your Patio Into A Voluminous Vegetable
Garden
by: Jill Homer
My first apartment was a second-story condo in an urban
complex, far displaced from the groomed suburban landscapes and sprawling
gardens I had grown up with. My only connection to the outdoors was a small
porch, surrounded by brown siding and a fading carpet of artificial turf.
To add a little color to the patio, I adopted a few small
tomato plants from a friend who had started his garden indoors, and planted them
in large pots near my railing. To my surprise, they started to grow. Soon I had
filled the 5’ x 10’ space with more than a dozen ceramic pots, plastic
containers, and beach pails filled with peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce
and pole beans. Before I knew it, my porch was a curtain of green and my meals
regularly featured home-grown vegetables.

Method Basic Gardening Course
The Mittleider Method combines the best features of soil gardening
and hydroponic gardening, but without hydroponic expense! It’s a
complete, easy-to-follow plan that eliminates guesswork and ensures
success anywhere—an apartment patio, a city yard, a country lot, a
farm. The method is based on maximum utilization of space,
time, and resources. You can use the Mittleider Method by
raising crops in either soil-beds or grow-boxes.

an Inexpensive Greenhouse
Article by Chris Pratt at KountryLife.com
It is late fall, the leaves are gone, and the nights are cold.
The garden has been bedded down for the winter with a green
manure crop to prepare it for spring. You come in with an
armload of wood, take off your winter coat and set down to a
fresh green salad with loose leaf lettuce, spinach, shallots,
basil and tomatos [sic]. All picked fresh moments ago. Welcome
to the Greenhouse!
