Peak Moment 117: Ryan Nassichuk builds food gardens for people. His bicycle and trailer are the sole transport for himself, tools, and materials - including soil and plants! This horticulturist also builds container gardens and composters. Tour a backyard garden in which a 6-week class of students filled raised beds with soil, compost and fertilizer, did succession planting, and built a low-cost composter. Recently Ryan has added free seed-sharing to his wisdom-sharing, while continuing to propagate food gardens throughout Vancouver. This man has a low ecological footprint -- or should we say bike tire tread? [www.ryansgarden.com]

  • I have been working and saving money to set up an organic farm. Since early 2008, I've also been wanting to live car-free. I've considered using a bicycle and a Bikes at Work trailer, but I get discouraged sometimes. I don't fear the challenges of transporting produce with a bike, but I fear that I would have trouble finding a woman that would share such a life with me. Nevertheless, I think of the phrase from a movie for encouragement, "if you build it, they (or she) will come".

  • Thank you so much for this video and everything from Peak Moment

  • @aNaturalist she'll definitely come, dude, and since she's gonna be into biking, she'll have a biker's legs. Think about it.

  • I don't know how you two do it...ANOTHER awesome episode! Thank you!

    Kudos to Ryan and his business buddy for taking on a variety of environmental/sustainable projects in one process! A buddy of mine and I here in Boulder are ironically considering a similar bike-endeavour collecting and hauling compost for residentials folks to a local recycler/composter. This was inspirational, motivational and just really well done. Thanks!

  • Keep it up Ryan!

  • I would love to see Peak Moment go 'mainstream' (i.e. HGTV) so more folks will hear the message.

    Thanks, Peak Moment, for all that you do!

  • Fantastic!

  • nice
