TURN ON NIGHTLINE/ 5/15

Check out this guy whose whole yard is a garden....blessings T


They basically grow ALL their food in the front and back yard. What they don't eat they sell...shop at thrift stores~ have solar panels...their son makes all their fuel out of old vegetable oil they collect from restaurants...it was only a short segment.

It was great they need to do more of those...I'll see if I can find the segment online and post it..blessings T


Here it is...it's called living the real simple life~

I caught it just in time. I thought about our board but could not get to it in time. Good catch msswv123

It was very beautiful~...and when you think about how much some people spend keeping up their yard ...they are actually feeding their family and profiting from utilizing that space for this.

Quite inspiring~...blessings T


I found myself wondering if they were members here*

I watched it, it was pretty cool.

I hope everyone got to check out their path to freedom website linked above...the journal has some interesting articles and tip~ blessings T

Darn. I was hoping to get some pics of the yard to post, but it's a video. Really pretty yard though. I'm very interested in landscape gardening, but lack the talent unfortunately. My climate can be very harsh too. Either icy or 110 degrees here. Always drought conditions or flooding. One extreme or another.

Also if you click on the video you get to see the greatest running back ever.
