To put this in terms of Urban Homesteading: “Oh, for plucks sake!” (a chicken reference)

You hear about bad teachers sometimes. Something should be done about them.

You hear about bad students. Do something about them also. Maybe get them good teachers.

You hear about people fined and jailed for gardens. That’s right. I said GARDENS.

You know, plants and flowers and vegetables. That kind of garden.

Now, this. It is pretty apparent that local governments don’t have enough important work to do. I guess in these communities there must be no crime and 100% employment. The schools must be great, and the streets clean. The hospitals cheap and efficient and everyone gets along like a happy crowd at a rave where the water has been spiked with ecstasy.

Bullcompost, bullcompost, bullcompost!

This is community!

This is Education!

This is Science!

This is farming!

This is food justice!

This is giving students a purpose!

This is what we should ALL be doing.

Memphis oughta’ re-think why people percieve the South as backwards.
This should be REQUIRED not criminalized.

Baby Steps...

Food for thought

It's kind of a new  frontier. Everyone should know about food. Where it comes from (not the store, oddly enough), and where you can get it, and how you can make it yourself. We've been poisoning ourselves for generations by putting in preservatives, additives and other types of crap that was never intended to be in food. I believe that many of our modern-day ills, like alzheimers, autism and allergies, are self-imposed and could possibly be cured, or at least minimized, by improving our diets. At the very least, it tastes better!
