Growing Food in the Backyard!

We decided a while back to convert our whole yard into an edible landscape, after seeing the Dervaes family at pathtofreedom.com and how successful they’ve been at converting their own yard into a food source…. 

So… we decided to convert our lawn sprinkler heads into drip emitters and now… instead of watering grass…we’re growing food.. with less water usage!

The video above is a tour of own backyard and sprouting room.  We’re learning as we go….and having a lot of fun! 

We’re using no chemicals.. of any kind in the growth process of the plants….and no pesticides on near or around the plants.  Instead, we’re experimenting with all sorts of organic/natural methods….like using, compost, kelp, ocean water, rock dusts, beneficial insects, and worm/compost tea. 

Also we’re using high quality seed from local growers, and using heirloom strains…from growers we find from everywhere.  We just heard of this seed company that sells only Native American seeds..here. 

We recommend growing your own food to anyone! 

It’s not only incredibly nutritious.. it’s relaxing, meditative..FUN..and connects you to your food!
