Just get out and do it.

Welcome to my blog, Garden for Your Life! This site will be mostly about my garden, but you can build one just like it in your back yard too. It can be bigger or smaller, just get out and do it. You can do it for fun. Your can do it for your health. You can do it for fresh food in these troubled times. The point is to get out and do it for whatever reason that you need.

Over time I will cover topics like canning and preserving your harvest, soil and beds, bugs, what to plant and when, and much more.

I've been working on this garden on mine and improving on it for over five years now. I will continue doing that for many more. You can too, just get out and do it.

Some folks say that they don't have the room for a garden. Imagine something like this on the roof of a Walmart of a abandoned mall. How much could you grow in a 3 by 6 foot bed? How many of those could you put in a unused part of your back yard? Will you have it in place and growing before fresh food prices get to high? Get out there and grow something!

  1. You make an amazing point, Ken! We all say we don't have the room for something, but there's certainly always space. Especially after looking at this space in Long Island City. Brooklyn Grange is the world's largest rooftop farm but it doesn't mean that we couldn't emulate their lead and have a farm of our own in the little space we have!
