More on school gardens
A brief summary of edible schoolyards in the US, with useful links. A couple more links that I snagged over at Desertification. A new book on Gardening with Children and an article about how teachers in San Francisco are using gardening, with a video. Desertification has also published a comment on the subject as a full post, which seems like a neat bit of recycling.
San Francisco leads the way?
Victory Gardens in San Francisco aims to rekindle, kindle, ignite — I don’t know — some kind of wartime spirit by delivering a complete garden starter kit by tricycle. Well of course it’s wacky. But it might just take off, and it does promote agricultural biodiversity in an urban setting. Heck, they’ve even got their own seed bank, just like the big boys.

SPIN stands for S-mall P-lot IN-tensive
We received a message from SPIN Farming, a web site that aims to show people how to make a living from what is essentially urban agriculture. The site is basically a shop front, but as the method does make very good use of agricultural biodiversity, I decided it would be worth linking to. The bias is very North American but the methods and techniques are much more widely applicable.
