Community Garden Revolution

Greetings!

If you just saw on the PBS TV Show "StartUp" the group from Indiana called the "Garden Tower Project" who does Vertical Gardens, well, next week they are in the house for my expanded Radio Show "Community Garden".  Check them out on www.blogtalkradio.com/communitygarden

These folks have a Vertical Garden that has growing space for 50 plants, in a four sq.ft. footprint.  You can do several in a warehouse building or other site and start selling to Distributors where you live, your local Grocery stores, or, sell at a Farmers Market.  If I remember correctly, they state a 10,000 sq.ft. space of these "Garden Tower Project" Vertical Gardens is comparable to having 5 acres of land to grow product.  Now, that is a substantial savings and allows more folks to get in the market to grow and sell FRESHLY grown items.  Grow Local.  Eat Local.

Join us at that show next week.....for this week I will wet your taste buds and entice you to listen to the masters at the "Garden Tower Project".

Also, I have some great tidbit information today that is what is going on in America.

Thanks!

Have a Great Community Garden Day!
