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. [www.whitesagegardens.com]

I agree everyone should have a veggie garden, if they like. It's lots of fun. Sorry about you losing your chickens, mikedarrow. Nothing tastes better than fresh chicken and kids love to find eggs.

Where did you get your greenhouse? It looks perfect for my needs! Thank you!

People should start sharing space they have available for those who do not have the space to grow their own vegetable's. People working together in Love is a very powerful statemant. Worse case senerio? Too many meal's shared with other's! :)

growing in pots is an idea I have been toying with. Living in a flat limits things.But I would ideally like a portable garden, with timing cycles to keep it so you can pick your food fresh each day.But that would require a lot of knowledge and dedication.Another thing I am considering is a solar powered water distillation process for drinking water, even from sea water. But I am thinking the dam water has too many extras, from fluoride to algae, to fertilizer run offs & hormones etc.

this gives me hope for the future! for once, someone is doing something totally positive. i hope more people start to try this way of living. we are going to have to CHANGE because time is running out. this is the most important issue right now. living off the land is going to be the only way to survive very soon. amazing. great vidTHANKS
