Definitely a sign of the times, Urban Farm is on the stands and it's incredibly well done. Using my time-tested dog-ear test for magazines, let's see what what pages I turned down in hopes that I'll remember to go back and read the article:
- "Sustainable living".
- Chicks and goats in the city.
- "Where Urban Meets Farm".
- "Lawn be gone", of course.
- The article on growing vegetables in containers by P. Allen Smith is terrific (so proclaims the new expert on this subject).
- Community gardens.
Plus beekeeping in the 'burbs, goats in the city, an urban farm school, hiring a professional vegetable gardener, urban recycling, and preserving your harvest.
Seriously, check out Urban Farm.
Thanks, Susan. I'll be looking for this one. After seeing your lush containers, I can't wait to read what P. Allen has to say. Thanks for highlighting this magazine.

Yesterday NPR's Science Friday had a segment on organic lawn care, maybe not a No Lawn story, but a step in the right direction:

I have about given up on garden mags. Picked up Organic Garden for the first time in years and was not impressed. I will give this one a try.

The coming commercialization of "a good thing". :(
On rare occasions, it can be good. Will have to keep our fingers crossed.
