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.

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

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.

That is correct, that was the original American focus, but then thy got onto oil in Pensylvania and that buggared it!

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.

Where did you get your greenhouse? It looks perfect for my needs! Thank you!
By: RobBryan206. on 26 Jul 08, 00:01:51
People should start sharing space they have available for those who do not have the space to grow their own vegetable's. People working together in Love is a very powerful statemant. Worse case senerio? Too many meal's shared with other's! :)

growing in pots is an idea I have been toying with. Living in a flat limits things. But I would ideally like a portable garden, with timing cycles to keep it so you can pick your food fresh each day. But that would require a lot of knowledge and dedication. Another thing I am considering is a solar powered water distillation process for drinking water, even from sea water. But I am thinking the dam water has too many extras, from fluoride to algae, to fertilizer run offs & hormones etc.

this gives me hope for the future! for once, someone is doing something totally positive. i hope more people start to try this way of living. we are going to have to CHANGE because time is running out. this is the most important issue right now. living off the land is going to be the only way to survive very soon. amazing. great vid THANKS

I have a garden that supplies my family with all our in season fruit and vegetables. we even had chickens for food and a pot belly pig for fertilizer and to to eat weeds and eat unwanted table scraps. But my idiot neighbors called the city and I had to get rid of my chickens

I am well on my way to something along the lines of my "dream." My neighbors and I even have a bartering system! It does feed the soul indeed.

You'd also enjoy Peak Moment #87, "How Much Food Can I Grow Around My House" with Judy Alexander. We had a good time with her chickens and bees. Begin on your dream now -- even if it's just a pot of herbs on your windowsill. Find somebody in your area doing this and offer to help. Even a small beginning -- begin it, and it'll feed your soul.--Janaia
By: Tidnull. on 19 Jul 08, 06:04:42
brings a tear to the eye.. sustainability is so beautiful. you really got me when you came to the chickens. this is a dream of mine.

I have to say; I don't think peak oil is all bad... people need to change, even if they are forced to... Grow food, not lawns!
By: watchinthegoodstuff. on 06 Jun 08, 12:18:34
start by saving ALL your clippings, scraps, cut branches, dead leaves and everything your neighbors wanna give you...and make some compost piles, the next thing is to grow cover crops to nourish whatever barren spots you have....and finally do a study of what grows well there ALREADY and their growing habits and maximize on that. Finally, get it all organized, in terms of space, existing natural features, and individual plant requirements....and the rest is surprisingly easy...
