In Thailand, soil properly treated increased productivity by over 400 percent. If the above methods were combined with biochar, worm composting, and worm tea the results might go up. Charles Wilber, author of the book, How to Grow World Record Tomatoes, increased the productivity of his garden by 700% by using a combination of simple organic methods. His methods could be combined with above technologies to obtain great results. Note, Charles Wilber has the Guinness Book of World Records for tomatoes production, which he obtained by using his simple organic methods. Further increase in productivity might be obtained by combining the above methods with many other techniques l

TEACHING MILLIONS ~ Robert Raikes ~ Robert Raikes was the forty-four year old publisher of the Gloucester Journal when he took a Sunday ride into the country looking for a man he could hire as a gardener. The sun was bright, the air heavy, and just a hint of breeze stirred up the dust of the road on that typical English morning in 1781. The outgoing Raikes was well known in his community, not only for his strong, often biting editorial campaigns but also for his wealth. The publisher who had become rich the old fashioned way, he had inherited a fortune from his father. Yet rather than sink in a world of debauchery, using his inheritance as a means of living the high life, this husband and father had employed his resources to serve the underprivileged in the area. Nowhere had his concern and compassion been more evident than when he led a fight for the rights of prisoners at the local jail. The editorial driven battle had initially caused a drop in his paper s circulation because

Cultivate Fact Sheet 3: Vertical Gardening Aileen Westbrook © 25 February 2007 Page 1 of 6 Cultivate Fact Sheet 3 VERTICAL GARDENING What is vertical gardening? Vertical gardening simply means exploiting the potential of the vertical plane to grow plants, (something trees do naturally) instead of just the horizontal plane, which is the traditionally ground of the garden. Think of the mythical Hanging Gardens of Babylon, verdant & graced with luscious vines, and cascading foliage, espaliered fruit trees. In practice, vertical gardening involves using fences, walls, pergolas, arches & trellises to support climbing & hanging plants. Not only are vertical garden elements attractive, they bring plants parts within easy reach. Vertical structures (stakes, trellises) can be easily inserted into ground level & raised garden beds, as well as planter boxes, containers & window boxes. Hanging baskets can be suspended from pergolas and house eaves at desirable heights. A pulley system can be

Project GROW is sponsored by the California Department of Health Services. On a recent night at the San Leandro Shelter, a dozen children between the ages of two and fourteen worked planting vegetable seeds in the garden. Before beginning they had been asked to think about the ways plants and people are similar: “People and plants both need sun and water. ” “People and plants need to be protected when they’re little. ” “Sometimes they’re scared in new places. ” “They both grow. ” At the San Leandro Shelter for Women and Children, Project GROW has focused on children’s gardening and horticultural therapy. Because the shelter is urban – with an asphalt backyard – community volunte
