New Magazine Urban Farm is Awesome
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.

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.
Whoa – all that in one issue?! What do they have left for future issues?
How so you subscribe to it?
Sounds about time! Where is it???
The coming commercialization of “a good thing”.
On rare occasions, it can be good. Will have to keep our fingers crossed.
