    Great video! I am in New York. I have grow herbs indoors. I am envious of this man’s front yard. It looks so fresh. I think everyone should try to do this in some way shape or form.
    Thanks.

    Find a local mushroom grower. They have spent mushroom compost, usually for free.

    I live in an apartment so I garden on my porch and I grow a variety of herbs, nasturtium, pansies, kale, mustard greens, raddichio, tomatoes, cucumber, and squash. I am always experimenting to see what I can grow. This year I rented a small patch of land, but so far the squirrels are winning!

    I wish i had the money to do that!!! @_@ sure he got the cedar for cheap… but where did he get all that compost and rock dust from? it can’t be that cheap! o_o not to mention the drip irrigation =X

    I’m in Portland, can’t wait to do a front yard garden! Grass sucks! I do have low-growing Irish moss in my back yard, much easier to maintain.

    I got a house last fall with raised beds so we are growing some great stuff! Beets, pease, beans, corn, zucchini, lettuce, kale, leeks, potatoes, and more! :)

    In my family’s garden, we have tomatoes, zucchini, raspberries, basil, cilantro, dill, a few kinds of edible flowers, and many fruit trees including cherry, apple, peach, fig, and apricot.

    I help my mom out with taking care of the garden, but once I move out and head towards a big city for grad school, I’ll have to take the responsibility upon myself to grow a garden. I’m looking forward to it.

    Oooh I have garden envy. Plan to put one in as soon as I move this year.

  20. rubyspirit2 on Thu, 9th Sep 2010 3:31 am 

    And … broccoli and collard greens. I grow sprouts inside the house all the time!

    Awesome video … Yes I have a garden. Growing strawberries, oregano, rosemary, yellow squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, purple hull peas, okra, potatoes, eggplant and peppers.

    As for the veggies: zucchini is incredibly giving, and perennial herbs are ideal for the long run.

    The “three sisters” companion planting combo is great:

    - corn (creates a stalk for beans to climb)
    - beans (climbs corn, and adds nitrogen
    to the soil which corn utilizes)
    - squash (provides ground cover to shade out weeds)

    this method triples your yield from the space and keeps the soil healthy when it would otherwise drain.

    I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto believing food grew in the supermarket. Last year (27 years later), i began gardening in the city, and it was the most profound summer ive had. I grew almost 200 plants from (about 35 types of veggies and herbs). This year i’ve set up an online resource for growing food, and i’m getting local projects set up.
