Organic vegetable sustainable food system

This is a video of an Urban Food Farm in Los Angeles. It's a sustainable food solution that is sold as a complete home garden growing kit and includes the greenhouse, irrigation, fertilization, all the hydroponics channels, the soil-less growing medium and even seeds. This complete home garden greenhouse kit is available for sale from http://urbanfoodfarms.com/pd-organic-herb-plants---8x8-home-garden-greenhouse.... It requires very low maintenance but I still spend about 4 hours a week in it just because I enjoy it so much. There is no growing experience needed, anyone can successfully grow organic vegetables with this home garden greenhouse kit. I left for 2 weeks, i was amazed at how everything grew during that time. The only thing that did not work is the asparagus, it must be too hot for it. It grew very thin and tall and some started to make branches; I had to remove it. I love having my eatable garden in the parking lot of the building where i live. I love the idea of being sustainable, having reduced my carbon footprint and improved the freshness and quality of the vegetables I eat. I did not use to buy organic vegetables at the supermarket and now I get to eat organic vegetables every day and still don't have to buy them; sorry Whole Foods, sorry Trader Joe.

This video has a photo montage of some of the vegetable plants at different stages over a month. It shows 3 of 4 pictures of the same plant making it easy to see how much it grew in that period.

List of the organic vegetables I grow in my 8x8 complete greenhouse kit home garden growing solution from http://urbanfoodfarms.com :

Tomatoes 5 plants
