Peak Moment 87: In summer 2006 Judy Alexander embarked on an experiment to see how much food she could grow, and how many neighbors could benefit, from the garden around her house. Check out her homegrown rainwater collection and irrigation system - watering her 60+ edible crops. Meet the bees, the chickens and the worms. And catch her joy in producing so much food for so little effort.

I agree that overpopulation and consumption are decimating planetary ecosystems beyond their ability to renew, and we are in the next planetary extinction. I'm not sure whether humans will be entirely decimated unless Gaia herself does it. We clever monkeys are amazingly adaptive.

What we are quickly approaching is the end of mankind. We have proven ourselves to be no more intelligent than cancer cells, which are so ignorant that they continue to reproduce, and consume, until they destroy their host and thus themselves. The monkey never learns.

Considering how about 90% of the population lives in or near a city, do you have any ideas for an urban garden????

check out on youtube "The produce garden". It's a guy living in Australia who has video on growing all sorts of vegetables and making organic fertilizer, tea, soap, etc.

There are fast growing tomato varieties for cool weather too. Same for cucumbers-look for varieties that work for cool weather.

The guys are gardening, too. Take a look at Peak Moment #51 "An Experiment in Backyard Sustainability", with Scott McGuire; #106 on Community Gardens with Patrick Marcus; #117 with Bicycling Horticulturalist Ryan Nassichuk; and our latest #123 "Cultivating a Suburban Foodshed" with Owen Dell.
