There was a great article a couple of days ago on The Ecopreneurist
Living in the city, it’s natural that your thoughts may turn at one point or another to daydreaming about having your own produce generating garden. But then they just as quickly get tossed in the mental recycling bin as an impossibility. Or maybe not, but with your erratic schedule, it sits there, limping along. Maybe you’ve been wanting to participate in an urban farm or a community garden , but there again, your life gets in the way. My Farm in San Francisco has come up with a solution: They partner with you to cultivate a specified plot of land in your own yard, from as small as 4′ by 4′ to as big as your whole yard.
It occurs to me that this can work two ways. It fills a need for not only those with more soil than time, it can also satisfy those with more time than soil. Suppose there were a clearing house designed to match up these two groups? Maybe add a third group: Those who want to teach.
I'll have to think about that for a while.
