Gather Together and Garden
Politics, oil, unemployment, healthcare and the Iraq war are secondary to a crisis that is not just around the corner.......its here! Climate change, soil depletion, food shortages and the lack of water supplies are pertinent to this urgent matter .

Some people may not see it coming, others may be prepared. But are they really? Perhaps you're thinking; I have a garden and I grow organic. It's not enough! Learn to grow a biointensive garden. Can you actually say you know how to grow plants for seed, store the seeds and then grow soil each year to produce the highest level of organic crops? Do you know how to save space, water and time?
For those of you that may think I am a bit drastic in my comments on this blog, I say let's have this conversation around this time next year. Hopefully the food and water shortage will be improved. I'd love to learn that everyone is biointensive gardening, sharing their food and eating less meat. That is what it is going to take to save this planet!
Here is an excerpt from our new website: www.food2gro.com
Biointensive gardening is a sustainable
solution to growing food. It is considered to be the highest level of
organic gardening. It is a whole-system approach that brings together
nourishment, efficiency and sustainability.
With biointensive
food production, each adult person requires only a 10th of an acre of
growing space to produce his or her yearly food intake! This small
space can supply all the calories and the nutrients for a complete diet.
Biointensive
gardening extracts the necessary nutrients from the soil and
simultaneously puts them right back in. Biointensive gardeners use less
water, create cleaner runoff water after garden use and they
essentially "grow" the soil they are using. The end result is a garden
that produces a complete diet in the smallest sustainable area.
Biointensive gardening includes:
Deep soil preparationComposting
Close Plant Spacing
Companion Planting
Calorie Farming
Open Pollinated Seed
Whole-System Approach
We offer more information on biointensive gardening.We have taken introductory courses and will attend more courses this year in the fall through Ecology Action and next year in the spring. We plan to use this method and teach it where ever we go. We will blog about it, and add more to our main website as we learn more about these methods.
Talk to your neighbors, gather together, work together, take care of one another and feed each other.
