Environmental Queen Kate Zidar ( rhymes with spider) recently shared her ideas on how to become an urban farmer
1
Find your local community garden through Green Thumb
(www.greenthumbnyc.org). “Ask what you can do for the garden first and
then you can learn what the garden can do for you and your pocketbook,”
said Zidar.
2
Grow you own food in a window box. Zidar suggests basil and tomato (if
you get enough light). “Get a little bit of compost and a little bit of
dirt. Put it in a coffee jar and use wire to suspend it from the
window,” she said.
3 Take a compost class. Zidar runs the North Brooklyn Compost Project and teaches New Yorkers how to make their own worm bins to recycle fruit and veggie scraps."
