Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Sharon Gordon" <gordonse@one.net>]

> I was very encouraged by some of my successes and by the recent Bioneers
conference where one of the speakers had been talking about how one family
of 5 was actually mostly living off 1/10th of an acre.  Apparently they ate
about 80% of their total groceries from the garden and the rest they sold at
a local farmers market to get the food that they were not able to raise
themselves.

Another great resource for growing a lot of your food in a small space is
the Dervaes family.  They grow a little over 6000 pounds a year on 1/10 acre
around their house.

They have some other great projects too such as poultry, small goats,  wood
fire oven, solar overn, graywater, bicycle powered appliances and more.
