[Community_garden] Square Inch City Farms To Change the Way We Live: Permaculture Cities!

Square Inch City Farms To Change the Way We Live

Will Allen rightly booms forth during most of his glorious Growing Power
tours...

It's not how green is your thumb!
It's how fertile is your soil!

And then...

Just start growing something, anything,
In any kind of pot.  See what good will happen!

Community Growers Recruiting Square Inch City Farmer Apprentices

With Will Allen compost or homemade compost following Will's methods,
A network of artist/artisan/urban farmers is giving people small hanging
pots
To grow arugula for their family and friends, and, if they are ambitious,
For one of Milwaukee's most revered family grocers, e.g. Seneks on Downer,
Which put out the call for "local organic arugula" this week.

>From Pots to Plots

The hypothesis is that 100 such pots will yield one or two
Apprentice city farmers,
Once the magic is experienced.

It will also yield returns for those offering the pots,
Intrinsic and otherwise.  And...

Hastening the Emergence of 10,000 Mini City Farms

In each of our venerable industrial cities
Becoming, by necessity, something new...

Say...

Permaculture Cities!

What say?
