Why I decided to go green? ( natural hair, permaculture, gardening )

YOU CAN GARDEN ANYWHERE: 1. Know your frost/hardiness zone or region, and find what plants, vegetables, fruits grow in your area? 2. Where are you living? Apartment, House? City? Suburbia? Farm? Homestead? You will garden according to where you’re living. 3. What do you want to grow? 4. Get yourself educated on different types of gardening from Nurseries, Books, Youtube, Markets, Blogs. And keep learning. The best 20 years deep are still learning BOOKS FOR BEGINNERS: **Container Gardening for Dummies by Bill Marken (Apartments) **All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew (Great container and vertical information **Gaia’s Gardening by Toby Hemenway(Good for Beginners to Permaculture; Great start for homes ) **Organic Gardening by Geoff Lawton (Some container information) **How To Grow More Vegetable by John Jeavons (Very educational; Less Land) Keep Learning! ****Gardening starts with soil, and for most urban dwellers, soil will be purchased compost, rock dust, and such.

@bwar0412 Please let me know. The most creative people I’ve seen do it in small,? unorthodox spaces. I listed some books underneath my video. And the government has allowed people who are receiving assistance to buy seeds (or seedlings).


Very informative video…..I have been wanting to grow my own for a while now. I? going to start really looking into it.


@bellanatural01 You don’t need a yard. Most city yards are contaminated. Yards are? good for raised beds. But I’m doing container, vertical, windowsill/climbers, and indoor small greenhouse for seedlings. As far as applying permaculture to my plans current, it has more to do with companion planting, perrenials and organic gardening? w/o pesticides. City gardeners are most creative because they use rootops, planters, patios (climbers), and large and small containers. I’m getting 1-2 trees.


@bellanatural01 I’m gardening according to my living situation. An apartment will call for vertical, containers, small starter greenhouse, window planters; a house can use all the former, but you can take advantage of your yard—for me? it will be including raised beds and other methods like small swales etc.


@bellanatural01 I’ll definitely display it eventually. I’m starting out with containers and square foot. I spent this year learning, so 2012 is when I’ll really have a little of something to show. Also, I’m? planning to move in the spring. I’m in the mapping, seed/seedling/tree purchasing stage for my region/zone. Do you have perm experience?


would you mind showing us your set up (permaculture/gardening)?
