Start composting your food waste. These worms create wonderful worm castings for your plants. For more information on worms, read Worms Eat My Garbage by Mary Appelhof. Support a community garden - join the fight to save New York City's gardens. The gardens are under tremendous attack from the City selling off its property and from the pending deregulation of rents.
Community gardens are centers of community education, community life and community space.
Just Food is leading a collaborative project to boost urban agriculture in New York's low-income communities. We're bringing organic farmers in to work with gardeners to grow food in an urban setting and get more people involved in growing their own food. We can't do this if the gardens no longer exist.
