I would like to share some links today about gardening. You can learn about gardening in your own yard and how people are using gardens in communities all over the world. Or if you don’t think you can garden yourself, you can find local farmers to purchase your food from. 

Last week, we purchased 11 rain barrels. We turned one into a manual rotating compost bin. This will give us compost faster than our 3 bin system. The remaining barrels will be linked together under the deck for all of our outdoor watering needs. We hope to plumb our shower and kitchen sink too, but more research is required. My husband wants an outdoor shower as well, so we will see how far we can get!

Here are a few links I have been studying. The Spin Farming method is how we would like to plant our garden next year. Very organized and productive!
