Those of you who read my blog fairly regularly know that I also write for Natural News as a Citizen Journalist. Recently, I wrote an article about Biointensive Gardening. In January, I went to a local workshop on this method of mini-farming here in my community and I got excited. Why? Because it appears to be a way to sustain the planet. The method focuses on sustainable agriculture, and it mainly focuses on mini-farms, that is, backyard gardens that you and I can grow ourselves. What excited me about this method is that we can use less space and less water, yet grow more in a sustainable, healthier environment. I plan to begin gardening this way this year, and I have, in fact, started my compost pile (not the way I used to but following the method I learned in the workshop). I have since purchased organic seeds and planned my entire season; I will begin growing seeds indoors in about two weeks. Since Vegi Lover deals on occasion with our impact on the environment, I thought this might be a good forum in which to share this info. If time permits, I will probably also be blogging about my ventures in this new realm. I think it promises to be fun!
