Reviews
From Texas Gardener: "Urban farming as a concept strives for sustainability," Thomas Fox explains in the second edition of his award-winning book on the subject. This endeavor derives its organic methods from nature and ultimately aims for healthy lives and overall social wellbeing. Fox emphasizes "the sheer diversity in farms, farmers, reasons for farming and ways of doing so." The author mines the experiences of many proven small-farm models to unearth insights into the best getting-started practices for improving soil, growing edibles, managing plants, collecting seeds and even raising livestock. The mention of livestock might raise eyebrows because urban zoning restrictions can present impediments - something Badseed Farm in Kansas found out, for instance. Even an activity as limited in scale as beekeeping might be fraught with many restrictions. Fox's Urban Farming is packed with helpful advice from root to fruit, including ample profiles of popular veggies. At the top of the author's advice list: "start small and don't quit your day job just yet."
