An Experiment in Back Yard Sustainability
BackPeak Moment 51: Tour Scott McGuire's "White Sage Gardens" in the back yard of his rental home -- a demonstration site for suburban sustainability. He ponders, "How might a household produce and preserve a significant portion of its own food supply?" Composting, a water-conserving greenhouse, and seed-saving are all facets of this beautiful work in progress. [www.whitesagegardens.com]

hi, I live in very small apartment in Germany with a balcony sizing north. Is there any way I can grow my food at home? I cannot move any where soon. Any suggestion? Energy efficiency wise is it smart to grow vegetable indoors or with very little sun.

IF he destroyed the pest, he wouldnt need it predator that would possible destroy the crop. Dont get his method.

That's the way to go! I started the same experiment 20 years ago. Many of my friends were gradually convinced over the years. It's balancing, healthy and grounding.

No, Scott is very much still at it. He's changing to a new website. As soon as I get the new url, I'll post it. --Janaia

I agree everyone should have a veggie garden, if they like. It's lots of fun. Sorry about you losing your chickens, mikedarrow. Nothing tastes better than fresh chicken and kids love to find eggs.
