URBAN FARMING TITLE THAT IS SWEEPING THE NORTHWEST!
Colin McCrate and Brad Halm know a thing or two about gardening. As owners and founders of The Seattle Urban Farm Company these two have been teaching urbanites how to get the most of their city lots for over five years.
Now they're offering up their gardening expertise to the masses with their new book, Food Grown Right, In Your Backyard. Inside you'll find:
Garden size and design for any setting (no matter how small!), including container gardens
Soil types, and watering and irrigationÂ
Plant life 101, and profiles of recommended vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and berriesÂ
Garden tools and time-saving rulesÂ
Crop planning, tips on what to do with the harvest, and a garden calendar to keep your garden growing year-round
All their knowledge comes to you in this unique, friendly guide that was inspired by the kinds of questions Colin and Brad hear every day on the job with the Seattle Urban Farm Co.
Fat of the Land author Langdon Cook joined the team from The Perennial Plate to hunt for morel mushrooms in the mountains of the cascades. Check out their adventure in episode 69!
