Thanks, Kathy - I haven't kept up with The Dervas, but they've done wonders
updating their website and their reports were an inspiration to me years ago.
Now their phenomenal food production in a small area (1/10 acre) is helped
along by three things: it's a whole family project, they have a year round
climate in Pasadena (I wish) - and take note of the raised beds with
intensive planting arrangements (which I've been going on and on about on
this list). They really pioneered the modern urban homestead movement.

The things that jump out at me are the biointensive, no-till mulched raised
beds. All right in the middle of La-La Land...

People, do check the Youtube from ABC Nightline.
