production of food in the city.<<<
It is a shame that this is not all over the country and not just tied to the radicals of the green/gore/type.
In England, an amazing amount of gardening goes on their ‘allotments’ sites.
I enjoy seeing the before and after photos of their efforts.
Even the islands in the middle of the streets are planted.
Imagine all our freeway centers planted with useful plants, even if it was only plants to make gas out of, as freeway plants would collect lead and other poisons from the gas in the cars.
Yes, we would have a ball with a project like this and could pat our selves on the back for the extra foods that folks had to eat.
Of course, growing food from scratch, would require a cooking school, to teach folks how to use them.
I heard of one community, that used the septic tanks that had been made and were not up to code, so they wound up with giant planter boxes and formed a community garden of them....an internet pal’s husband was involved in the project.
Well, you said a mouthfull there. I get tired of being lumped with those folks just because I want to garden "my way" and use old fashioned means of pest control and fertilization. *WE* preceeded the greenies and the gores in this! ~grin~ We are the frontrunners. ~wink~
