Growing a Greener World Episode 1208 - Locavores and Yard-Sharing

Eating local and seasonal is more than just a foodie trend. While some people have the time or the land to grow their own food, and some have the expertise, few people have it all. That’s given birth to a cottage industry that creates win-win partnerships and reaches far beyond in-town garden plots. Meet the young urbanites who are changing the way we grow and eat.

Hearing this theme song on Saturday mornings coming out of winter always pumps me up thinking about Spring plans.

I recently cleared my subscriptions to reset the algorithm. It took a couple of weeks, but it finally caught up. I don't know why this channel didn't pop up before. This is perfection. Caught up on all of the seasons. I absolutely love this channel. What about a series on coppicing, pollarding, how-to info on 'dwarfing' plants so they'll be smaller than usual and still abundant while taking up less space. I have a couple of volunteer trees in my yard I'm interested in coppicing for small building materials. And I want to try pollarding fruit trees and train them to form as bushes or like a dwarf tree version with less branches, but so abundant with fruit. I would also love to see a series on creating and using our own wood ash for the plants. Thank you to all for these videos. Your passions are infectious, your stories are inspiring, your wisdoms received, your hearts felt.

Great informational video, we need more local farmers. Let’s hope this inspires future farmers!

[@ramthian]

Well dune guys.

[@troyeager8877]

I'm so happy to see these videos pop up again. Some reason I was not getting notified of new episodes. So I've been watching them like crazy on my vacation.

[@charlesbale8376]

Enjoyed the video, great content.

[@mantothegoat4143]

It's so helpful, as I am starting my own garden and these videos provide us with variety of ideas

[@charlottesesco8795]

One of the most amazing videos I’ve seen

[@charlesmccullough2386]

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Great episode!!!

[@direnzo4369]

Joe, did I dream it one episode vanished all those outside rooms soo good?

[@LitlPoot]

another great video - interesting, informative and inspirational stories and the people behind them. Your channel/videos have inspired me to be a better, more fruitful gardener !!! I'm planning on getting started in the Spring - will be building and nourishing a few garden beds this Autumn/Winter. It was nice to meet you over at Night Song Native Nursery the other day and get to chat for a moment. One question, was the farmer's market in the video local (Atlanta) ?? I'm new to the area and am looking for a few good places to shop - especially ones where I can support local farmers !!! Thanks again - looking forward to future videos ...

You should do 1 hour long episodes.

[@CarinaHilbert]

We have been locavores for years, homesteading on the edge of the small city where we live. Thing is, many urban farmers aren't white. We have many in our city, Detroit has more, and Atlanta has some amazing Black urban farmers. Why not interview them? Why do you show people of color as benefiting from white farmers or working for white farmers instead of showing how they own and run farms of their own? I'd like to learn from them, too, instead of them being silenced.

[@ritacourtney7369]

He presents farmers from all walks of life. You can check out those back episodes on public tv. These KZbin episodes is just a small fraction of what’s available.

[@CarinaHilbert]

@@ritacourtney7369 You see how that makes it worse, right? Only putting the white people on YT?

[@ritacourtney7369]

I don’t agree. There’s a lots of people of color putting their gardening/urban content online. If you feel so strongly about that aspect, find them and support them.

[@CarinaHilbert]

@@ritacourtney7369 I do, but I don't have a massive following, and I am not a content creator that specifically gives voice to certain gardeners or farmers. I'm also not in charge of a show on PBS, which is supposed to represent all of the American people, not just some.
