Last night at SB Food/Garden Guild meeting I learned about a community greenhouse project based in Wallingford producing plant starts for food bank plots in p-patch gardens. Distributed by Lettuce Link. A similar project is starting in Sunset Hill to produce lettuce starts for Interbay Food Bank plots. Basically all volunteer run. The overall goal is to demonstrate intensive gardening, high yield from greenhouse to food bank, in order to feed as many people as possible. Great idea.
Just watched film about Eliot Coleman regarding high yield food production, a pioneer in the organic gardening movement. Lot's of good learning that puts my little garden to shame. I'm super excited to learn more. Watch the DVD trailer above to see what he's all about.
