Peak Moment 51: Tour Scott McGuire's "White Sage Gardens" in the back yard of his rental home -- a demonstration site for suburban sustainability. He ponders, "How might a household produce and preserve a significant portion of its own food supply?" Composting, a water-conserving greenhouse, and seed-saving are all facets of this beautiful work in progress. [http://www.cocreativeliving.com]

The guy has a lot to say, but the woman gets in the way...very annoying. I had to cut out when she started interrupting him with chicken sounds...unfortunate.

Balance he'll get balance, insects, birds, ground hogs, skunks, Raccoons, opossums, squirrels, mice etc & when their done with insects for dinner his plants will be desert
Let alone all that attraction will bring the predators like weasels, fox & coyotes - hello chickens lol
Being awful selfish in his personal philosophy in jeopardizing area wildlife with infestations that can & could get out of hand
& be very costly to the local farms in the area
Why did insecticide get invented in 1st place

I don't know how this guy originally purchased his seeds but as a general heads up 90% of seeds bought grow seedless or sterile seeds
it's how seed companies stay in business
Bit of a contradiction with this guy he claims it his 1st garden but yet talks at times like its longer
Suggest he pay attention to spacing or his plants yes will grow initially but will stunt & have small fruit/veg from competition
Also encouraging insects has got to be the stupidest idea ever
