hi
Was very encouraged to read your article. i live in a semi arid area (Botswana, southern africa), having grown up in Zambia which has moderate climet i found it difficult to settle here, what with having to buy all your friuts and veggies. My husband and i later bought some land and i have turnde our small yard into a lovely vegetable garden with some space for a lawn. I grow my plants orhaically and collect vegetables from our local supermarket to make compost i also uses my scrap from the kitchen). Anyway i hope more people will be encouraged by your work! cheers to you!

What an awesome article. Gotta love Mother Earth News!

I’m one of those renters and balcony growers as well, and even in a zone 4a/3b and with a northwest facing balcony we get some pretty good eats.

But I certainly still daydreaming about my own little Permaculture paradise that would have enough space for cluckers, goats, horses (et al!). *sigh*

Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for this post. :)

As a renter and balcony gardener, I laughed out loud at “rhymes with depicted.” Yes, oh yes.
