An Experiment in Back Yard Sustainability

An Experiment in Back Yard Sustainability

Jul 31 2009
Here’s an interesting video from YouTube about back yard sustainability. Janaia Donaldson is interviewing Scott McGuire from Oregon about the project he’s running in the backyard of his rented property. The picture is lagging but that’s worst in the first 10 minutes when they talk face to face. After that they take a tour in Scott’s garden and the lagging becomes tolerable.

In the video you’ll find:
- Experimenting with growing wheat and amaranth
- Growing a medicine border
- Growing sun flower seeds
- Greenhouse for starting plants from seeds
- Drying herbs in greenhouse
- Dog kennel as chicken house
- Growing food for your animals
- Crimson clover as nitrogen fixer
and some other small but interesting things:

  Very interesting topic. I’m growing also some experimental plants that can be used for figting bacteria. Plants are like medical suplies that can be used for everything!

  @Czeslaw: I agree. It’s like we have forgotten how useful plants are. We need to remember, and reclaim the abundance!
