Backyard to Table Project
 

backyard-to-table

The project concept is simple: Create a sustainable food source and document the various steps to bring some of that good fresh food into the Easy Home Cooking dishes. 

Some of the concepts will be: 

  • Composting  - Compost bins are essentially a place to recycle plant vegetation to create a robust material rich in nutrients like nitrogen that when added to the soil will help new crops grow more vigorously. Composting is a process that occurs naturally when older material like leaves, grass clippings and old rotting vegetation begins to breakdown and decompose into a rich fertile soil material. This provides minerals and other nutrients for plants, animals and other micro-organisms and along with moisture and external temperatures, the decomposition process becomes very efficient.
  • Gravity Garden  - Vegetables and fruits that are grown vertically to optimize space and is a more efficient method of maintaining your harvest.
  • Soil Pots  - A lazy gardener's best friend... Buy a bag of potting soil, cut, a hole in the side and plant... Easy and a nice way to get started.
  • Bucket or Container Gardens - Portability is an important aspect if you live in a home that does not provide optimal conditions for a stationary garden. Some of the issues that may require portability may include minimal access to sunlight, strong wind conditions or animal control. A bucket garden is a very simple way to begin your journey toward food independence.
