Re: Backyard agriculture

We live on 1 acre of land in Cedar Rapids Iowa area and have created several flower and vegetable gardens with a "heart" shaped flower garden by the road dedicated to all who have died in the Iraq war. We have plans to build a solar powered straw bale greenhouse (we have been "energy starring" our house and hope to get off the grid someday)and hope to gradually decrease lawn mowing and offer our 15 neighbors on our cul de sac beds in our garden for them to grow food and build community. We will be attending the Sol Fest in August in Hopland, CA. We yearn for each of you to live on our cul de sac because interest in our project is slow but is growing. Thanks for reading this and for all your contributions.
