Do you guys accept donations for something like modular planter boxes or raised beds? We'd like to help out. We really love what you're doing.

OK, I think this is a very interesting experiment, particularly in the USA which needs to revive its run down and economically depressed areas. I think there will be a lot to learn from the 20 families partaking in this experiment.

There is a philosophical concept called the 'broken window' effect. If there is a broken window in a run down area and this is not fixed, it encourages more windows to be broken. If it is repaired, there is not this same response. Keep up the good work!!

@ivankinsman We see the reality of the broken window effect play out everyday. The little things go so far, for good or bad. We are loving it.
