Project Update- Grow Your Own

First of all, thanks to all the people who have given me feedback either in lab or somewhere on here, it really helps.

For the next step in my project will be to try and grow some small simple things in my own college house.  Also, I hope to take a tour of Growing Power in Milwaukee, http://www.growingpower.org/index.htm.  Growing Power is a large urban agricultural community, which, if I had the time and resources would turn my project into.  I’m hoping to see how they feel about sustainability, and seeing as they probably know a lot more about sustainability and how to actually put it into practice, I’m banking on this being a great resource for me.

What I have come to find so far in working on my project is that you have to start small, and gradually integrate ways to become more sustainable into your life.  This is in large part to the fact that as college students we have very limited space to grow our own food, and it takes a good amount of time for plants to be able to bear us food.
