In this episode, C-diddy gets hungry and is confronted by a supernatural egg shell. We are then transported to the Greater Portland Oregon area to visit Nigel and Angie, a couple who have a garden on their 3rd story apartment porch. We learn how to create a space-saving worm bin to process compost as well as some all-natural methods for fixing nitrogen.

Diversion of our nations food to biofuels has led to rising food costs and cuts in food surpluses. Low income workers and food banks have been hit the hardest. The Grassroots Garden is a huge community effort to supplement the diets of Lane County’s poorest citizens with fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. With support from local government, corporations, and community groups, the Grassroots Garden and Food For Lane County have addressed this challenge head on.

In Episode 11, we chat with Merry of the Grassroots Garden in Eugene, Oregon and we find out how this community effort has energized people from all walks of life to address this increasingly serious issue.

This is a cool video in which Roger Doiron of Kitchen Gardeners International puts his hoe where is mouth is. Since he had been campaigning for the president to start a food garden in the white house lawn, he decided to take it upon himself to convert his own yard into a garden. Truly an inspiration to all of us who want to be the change we’d like to see in the world. (Via Justin)
