Helping out neighbors who help you, resource exchange for gardening

Helped out this non-profit organization this weekend in putting a edible garden into the backyard of someone's home in Raleigh here. Free hands on training, help out a neighbor, get a few veggies. Pretty decent deal, plan to go again sometime.

If we had our way, every street corner would be brightened by overhanging fruit. Every kid could pluck berries from the schoolyard as they play. Parking lots would be orchards. And every neighborhood would be alive with neighbors talking to each other as they tend their community garden.

I found out there is a similar org in Virginia called Edible Landscaping and out in California called the Fallen Fruit project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkyMYKoSG7o

Sweet!! Thanks for sharing.

I would look into growing food inside a house as well. This idea is similar to an Earthship.
Not only do you have food and plants growing inside the house, this is a nice way of producing oxygen inside the home as well :).

We are familiar with that for their is a NASA study done on air cleaning plants, being my son has had many problems with asthma in the past we put a couple of these plants in the house and he has had a lot less problems. Once when he had a full blown attack and we had just got these plants I sat him in a chair surrounded by these plants and had him drink some mullien tea, within 15 mins his breathing was back to normal again. We also switched him over to organic gluten free foods since then and he has not had a major attack like that for about a year now.

We have mostly lillies and pathos inside.
