With public focus on global warming being at an all-time high, experiments in sustainable backyard agriculture like this one are gaining interest and momentum. Gardeners want more control over what they eat and how it's grown and produced. Take a look...

I must admit, I'm always a little critical when I see experiments of his type mainly because the proponents always have more land than the average household to farm. Sure, any gardener can implement some of the strategies, but to provide enough food for the whole family is, in most cases, unlikely.

What I'd really like to see, and I would guess it occurs already in allotment gardens, is the growing of one or two certain crops and then sharing them with other gardeners so that some of your needs are met. Still, these methods won't produce all your needs so the question is, how does sustainable agriculture work to eke out broad-acre farming?

Any ideas?

If you thought you had seen everything then this is confirmation that idiots abound.

I found this little video via Mr Brown Thumb. How could anyone treat a cactus like this?
