loved it! I want to have my own backyard farm too. I don't know how to start. I live in Miami, Florida.
-
awesome idea. Keep up the great work.

@EdwardRichtofenDr When she says they are sold out, she means they have all the clients they can take on in a growing season. As for the produce, it's the former - all of it goes right back to the property owner. Over time, if the owner/client wants to take over the garden themselves, that's always an option.
-
@theproducegarden Yes, very ironic!
-
The ad at the beginning of this vid (for me) was for "round up", ironic!
-
i wanna do this but i want more land to do it in and own it. i can't wait
-

Inspirational, I have never understood why this isn't more wide-spread. Lawns are a complete waste of space - worse, people, spend the year spraying toxins on grass. then cutting it, carting clippings off to the tip, which makes compost and sells it full of herbicide residue - how crazy is that. There is a growing number of people, who are now involved in "cow-shares" to be assured of a good supply of organic milk - so why not the same with gardens? All power to Robyn and Donna!
-
These women must be in awesome shape if all they do is shovel and garden all day.
-
@Rachna888 Aren't they? I love what Robyn and Donna have created! I bumped into Donna the other day, and they are well into their 5th season farming like this. Still loving it. =)

FANTASTIC

@TokinLamb "Using rainwater is always the best option" Maybe it is. Provided that one lives in an area with alot of rainfall. What should in your oppinion the less fortunate inhabittants of more arid lands such as Egypt do?

Umm yambol77 The term Organic was coined decades before Genetic tech i.e GMO. Organic mean "No Chemicals" and has everything to do with fertilizers, pesticides, herbicide, fungicides...

I hear what you are saying - but they actually work in neighborhood 'pockets' at a time to keep their footprint down. And, I think growing the food in the peoples backyards offsets it b/c the homeowner doesn't buy food trucked in from far away.
-
I have this idea in my mind also. some people were negative and said that although it's a great idea it just wouldn't work. well... thank you so much for proving them wrong. it does work! it makes no sense to have a big empty useless lawn. let's grow food! can't wait until it comes to ontario!
-
loved your video.
-
That's amazing! I just moved to a neighbourhood that is all veggie gardens. It's a beautiful thing to see. BTW our lettuce is loving all the cool weather after all that hot sun and rain.

I grew sweet potatoes last year and they did fairly well... I live in southern ontario.
