Avid apartment gardener and composter. Trying to learn about growing food and plants by growing at home. Concerned about the conditions of our atmosphere, therefor trying to minimize the amount of householdwaste which leaves the apartment and ends up at the landfill. Landfills often release methanegasses due to anaerobic decomposition and methane damage our atmosphere heavily. Biodegradeable householdwaste goes directly into the apartment compost.

Though gardening is in my blood, coming from several generations of gardeners on my mother's side of the family, I haven't had the opportunity to do more than grow houseplants and do a bit of container gardening on a balcony. Now we're loving our "real" garden, and are delighted watching it thrive!

Have been planting various annuals in pots since I located to an Apt.Tried my hand at planting perennials in pots too.Much prefer to have the garden space I once had,not that balcony gardening can't be just as beautiful.

I just want to state for the time being, that I believe that people should utilize some space somewhere on their premises, whether it be in the yard (front or back), a run on the side of a house, on a patio, balcony or roof, or indoors, in pots or in the dirt of the earth, we should be growing our own food. Please contact me if you are interested in starting a garden on your premises in the Los Angeles area and I would be more than happy to help, hands-on, as well as offering tips and tricks from what I have learned from the continuing success of my own garden.
