Many things have been learned and many things have been forgotten over these past 10 years.
Remember that flowers still bloom, worms still have to eat & it’s gotten hotter n fresh poo.
We need solutions now more than ever.
Keep counting those simple blessings & remember.
Seed saving.
Yard eating.
Soil makin.
#SimpleFoodSmallFarmz is now on Instagram, Twitter & Tumblr. Book a tour or experience. There are a number of fantastic Air BnB Experiences are taking place with Maurice Small in Atlanta.
Having a greenhouse at home is a definite blessing. Season extension is one. We planted these tomatoes from cuttings in a 15 gallon bucket in September. The 4 plants are now 7+ feet tall, bearing flowers and fruits. We should probably begin eating tasty, soil (compost) grown heirloom tomatoes in mid January or sooner. A important FYI for you… when you see the flowers, it’s important to pollinate those flowers. Pollinators don’t go in the greenhouse this time of year and if you want fruits, you gotta help the plant and act like a bee.
#SimpleFoodSmallFarmz is the hashtag to look for. Follow us on social media and book that EXPERIENCE today.
Yup, we grow food in Atlanta Urban Ag like we grew food in Raleigh Urban Ag like we grew food in Youngstown Urban Ag like we grew when we started in Cleveland Urban Ag.
Two of my favorite farm inputs: coffee grounds and brew waste. Both add micro nutrients, moisture, bulk and food for the soil critters large and small. An additional plus is every 7 days, 2,500 pounds of these materials don’t end up in the trash (landfill)!
The zero waste lifestyle… priceless.
Lots of people come out to learn how I use these materials to enhance my soil production, improve zero waste practices for our planet and get their hands dirty helping to sequester carbon. Book a tour or a hands on experience. You will be glad you did (bring some friends too).
It was a good year for growing in #AtlantaUrbanAg.
March 2020 y’all. Sign up for a one hour urban agriculture tour or a two hour hands on learning adventure. We are based in Atlanta. Details at Simple Foods Small Farmz on Airbnb Experience Atlanta.
