[GreenmeGo]

Good, this is very nice

[stt60]

I was is into this until he brought up that liar, evil,nutball Al Gore.

[krrrruptidsoless]

Surround all cities with robotic controlled hydroponics powered by magnetic propulsion engines that drive either generators or motors.

[rachiddas1978]

so noisy are the students !!!!!

Juat my 5 cents but residents in the Kingsville Ont area grow tomatoes & cucumbers +more in their greenhouses all winter long I was shocked to see produce stands at the ends of their driveways in early spring - snow stil on the ground & bundles of English cuckes & tomatoes out for sale on the honour system...put money in their cash box It was awsome I know its colder in Alta but it could work there too Best of luck

[papermason]

I live in cottage country in Ontario Canada. We just grow tomatoes, however someone I used to know grew green beans in large flower pots on her window sill in her bedroom. The blossoms were so pretty. She and her hubs moved away so I don't know if she still does it. You can grow many veggies and edible flowers in containers. Strawberries can be grown in special pots.

[crewlla]

If we had green houses that were heated and had lighting in them to accomindate growth it would be so expensive no one would pay for the vegetables that would be produced by the indoor green house. so, to make a long comment short. Please stop sending me rude messages and negative feed back unless you have lived in my city and seen the crappy weather we actually do get here in Alberta Canada.

[crewlla]

further more, I have an indoor garden that the neighbours thought was a grow opp and called the police on me. When the police did show up they were empressed by how many tomato plants I had growing in my house. I am one of very few people that do garden all year round, but gardening in Alberta Canada is one of hardest thing to do if it wasnt for the farmers in california were we get our food shipped in from we would starve during the winter. -40 is preety hard to deal with.

[crewlla]

the only time we can grow locally in Alberta Canada is in the summer which only is about two months long. this year in june we had snow twice and frost hit us about 5 times since the end of may. I live in a city in alberta. Many of the houses here dont have backyards big enough to grow grass let alone vegtables. If you actually took a look at my site you would stop giving me negative feedback. I have the bigest home garden in my city.

[danieller123]

what seed company? im curious to know.....

[DrewDawg50]

That girl's hot.

[crewlla]

In canada we can not grow locally so our closest place to get food is the states shipped in.

[SpikeEvolution]

So, forgive the ignorance, but why not? Because it's cold? The sun's still there :) it just takes more planning, and building before hand.

[crewlla]

we can grow in the summer months and frezze,dry or can for the winter but lol we have 40 below weather and snow. we could posibly use green houses but, it has to be bulid to with stand heavy snow, cold weather and grow lights. the best system to set up would be hydroponics.

[BigPreme74]

If you are industrious you could build a green house and then employ hydroponics or raised bed farming that would be able to get you through the winters.

[Salssinger]

We live in CANADA, short seasons cold winters. I grew all our veggies (for a family of 4) in a large garden, bought fruit from a friend's orchard, picked some fruit ourselves. I dried, froze and canned for the winter, had a root cellar. Had chickens for eggs and a goat for milk, ate no meat anyway. (It was *work* but I loved it!) We didn't starve! Growing at least some food is possible for almost anyone. It's fun and satisfying.

[EvasivePerfection]

I live in Canada, and I grow, tomatoes, green & yellow beans, onions, eggplant, zucchini, butternut squash, pumpkins, cucmbers, lettuce, chives, rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, lavender, basil, stevia, sage. But, much much more is grown here.

[RjPSpaceInvader]

this is a awesome video THANKS !!

but,

if we grew our own food , do you think we would be banged with some other kind of tax? to make up for the difference the greedy fat slob politicians will miss..

[kevkaotic]

MONSANTO are criminals for using us as their GMO experiment.

[aquaponicsFL]

@kevkaotic As if you even have the slightest clue what a GMO is and the science behind it. Everything has pros and cons, but nothing is more dangerous than ignorance and stupidity on both sides of the issue. My only advice to you is, don't eat natural/organic peanut butter.

[carebonez]

@aquaponicsFL Shit I just bought some thinking it would be better. Lol whats wrong with it?

[aquaponicsFL]

@carebonez These all natural organic peanut butters don't go through the testing required by the FDA. There are plenty of scientific studies on the Internet that are publicly accessible that have warned of the dangers of Aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are toxic and among the most carcinogenic substances known to man.

[aquaponicsFL]

@carebonez Unfortunately, this is one instance when going for all natural foods and their respective methods of processing and testing has failed us as a society; however, I think we can find ways to bridge the gaps on both sides of the issue, but we need to address the problem intelligently rather than with blind fear.

[kimmarie801]

the natives knew what they were doing

[odin422]

Down with MONSANTO

[anne0203]

you are just wonderful

have you read Anastasia from Vladimir Megre

offering some similar inspiration

[SustainableBackyard]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[bluzy25]

sorry but that was horrible!

[SFwizardoakland]

why do you think it was horrible? What are you Sorry about?

[Golgo13ThePro]

Your comment is horrible.

You have no idea.

If you have no skills compatable with nature and our petroagriculture system collapses under the sheer weight of it's own unsustainability, it becomes a matter of whether you eat or not.

[sklikizos]

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!

[feralkevin]

Amen, brother!
