This week, all of a sudden urban agriculture news came streaming in from the Midwestern States...
-In Kansas City city gardeners can now sell produce from their homes! Wow!
-In Wisconsin farmers are trying to make the switch to organic and are looking for community support. I must admit, I was totally suckered by this next headline "Will city shut off water for urban gardens?". Turns out in Milwaukee people are allowed to pay to tap into unmetered fire hydrants to water urban gardens on unused lots. Really? You can do this in Milwaukee??? Is this common elsewhere? Come 2011, that's it for this practice it seems. What now?
And one pick before I go, this green roof on the Urrezkoenea House in Spain! Nice!!!
