Urban farming converts spaces
in blighted areas into
thriving farms that produce fresh produce for inner city communities.
According to the Slow Food Movement, farmer's
markets and CSA's were up a whopping
60 percent last year. And with blogs like Apartment Therapy's Re-Nest and Occupy

on the rise.
"There's a push back against larger companies that make too much money and don't support their community," says Suzi McCoy, founder and president of Garden Media Group, a PR firm representing outdoor-living businesses.

The Real Dirt on Gardening
Urban farming has a definite advantage over conventional farming on small scale. Through urban farming techniques, one could produce a significant yield, using small physical spaces. I acquired this hobby of gardening when I found myself spending too much time on social media and given the disadvantage of social media, I had to opt for a better hobby and gardening is certainly one of the better ways to spend time.

Truly, this article is really one of the very best in the history of articles. I am a antique ’Article’ collector and I sometimes read some new articles if I find dog car seat belt collar them interesting. And I found this one pretty fascinating and it should go into my collection. Very good work!
I appreciate what you have shared with us. Your blogs always provide something unique which inspire us. Honestly speaking, some days ago I was thinking to start a small business but, I could not decide what type of business. Later, I got busy with my assignments and did not even remember about business. Now, I have decided to hire an Assignment Experts with whom I can hand over all of my assignments. So that I can be able to think about my business.
