Cultivating Change: The City Farming Project Part 1

The City Farming Project in London, Ontario Canada promotes growing sustainably on small intense plots of land within city limits using organic methods and educating the community while growing yummy organic healthy veggies. We have a good food box basket program which provides food to garden members. The garden is also a spot for people to gather and learn about where are food comes from and how to grow it sustainably and locally. We would like to see new & old communities develop garden plots for community members, redesigning how new subdivisions are built to include a spot for food production and natural areas for wildlife. Join us stopping urban sprawl and reducing carbon footprints by producing food locally and learning how to grow and where our food comes from.

Great video.

Are the forums still active? I tried searching for it with no luck.

Thank you.

If you plant Daikon (Japaneese) Radish you can break up the soil naturally and provide drainage.

You should not need to till the soil it will kill all your microbial life and decrease the viability of the soil.

Use companion planting techniques and heavy mulching to build your soil organic matter.

This is a fantastic video. Very inspiring. Hats off to all involved with this project. This is it folks, this is the only way we're going to make it. We have to start within our own communities and make our selves more self sufficient.
