At Ten Acre Organics, young gardeners turned a typical 1970s suburban lawn into front yard food and backyard aquaponics. Egged on by content chickens, co-founders Michael Hanan and Lloyd Minick feed the future vision of neighborhoods uniting in urban farms. As a drop-off site for East Side Compost Pedallers, they nurture dead soil with compost for water-resourceful, healthy food to supply a community of restaurants and neighbors.

Thank you for sharing, very inspirational. Did anyone hear about how mushrooms connect all the energy and plant life together. Do you grow mushrooms at the bottom of your plants or hanging logs. I saw a man that used hard wood logs as soil containers with plugs of mushrooms growing out of them; very pretty. He noticed that his plants growing in these wood containers seem to grow faster and were more productive. He also was experimenting with dandelion at the base of black and raspberry bushes; which gave him several hundred dollars in dandelion harvest and his berry bushes had an increase with fruit and his water consumption decreased. I also was watching a man that discovered that the singing of birds will increase plant growth exponentially; now being used at tree farms to increase growth. I was reading about a man that raised chickens and discovered warming pads increased egg production in the winter and baroque music increased egg production. He also feed his chickens rose hips, wood worms, and had lizard lights on for two hours a day. Did you hear about they are taking tall buildings and saving rainwater and using gray water to drain down through hydroponics planting tubes from the top of the building to the bottom and draining this water into fountains with fish. I would love to see one of these set-ups. If anyone knows a link or wants to do a learning video, I would be grateful to see this. Thanks again for sharing.

Yard of the Month from an HOA with a front yard vegetable garden! That's fantastic. I wish we could have that in the Dallas area. My HOA expressly forbids front yard gardens and yards with less that 50% grass. So, so, so sad (in the least).
