The goal of this website is to share my knowledge of growing food in my backyard garden. I believe the skill of growing your own food is important and in danger as we move to a more convenience-based lifestyle and centralized food distribution model. I also believe in sharing knowledge, so I'm making an effort to document and publish my gardening activity so that others can learn from my mistakes and successes. I try to experiment with different techniques, use what works, and understand why things fail or succeed. One of the great things about gardening is that there is no single 'right way' to do something and you can pick and choose the techniques that work for you.
I do not claim to be some sort of expert or master in this field. I'm open to trying new things and on a quest to have a garden system that produces a large quantity of healthy, good-tasting food, with a minimal amount of effort, expense, and resources given to it. If you are interested in my personal gardening experiences, you can visit my blog and read more.
