Food Goals

My goals for the new year:

• Expand the bio-intensive garden to 400 sq. feet.
• Establish a large herb bed that's critter-proof.
• Build a small cold frame.
• Get enough soaker hoses to adequately cover all the beds.
• Cook fun, healthy meals with my son, using our garden produce as much as possible.
• Buy a pressure canner, tomato sieve and other tools to help preserve the harvest.
• Set up the compost tea bucket with aerators and brew compost tea.
• Connive my friend John into bringing me another load of manure from his farm.
• Plant cover crops at the end of the season.
• Grow tomatoes indoors next winter.
• Work on limiting refined flour and sugar in my diet.
• Learn more about wild foods.
• Shop locally.
• Research and write about industrial agriculture and related issues.
