Clothes Make the Gardener

I have wondered about interest in having some 1KNG-branded stuff that bears our righteous logo. It is fairly straight forward to get stuff made, but I wonder what stuff would appeal to the gardeners…Continue

Riffing with other 1KNG members, I wondered how much food could be grown in a parking space. A standard parking space is about 8' X 20'. Taking out paths and a spot for composting, that leaves about…Continue

Well, another great Seedluck event at the FLAT! Thanks, David, for giving us the info on how to know and love our seeds even more than before! And thanks for the bountiful seeds to swap and use! We should put some leftover seeds in the new 1KNG gardener' swag bag if there are any leftovers! It was good to see some new faces. Speaking of which, I had a meeting today with a friend who has a bunch of friends who are, shall I say, "senior" gardeners. We talked at length how her group might be…See More

Geoff Badenoch replied to Maximillian Smith's discussion Plotting a New Course in Bozeman"I wonder if it would make any sense to have some crews specialize in building compost structures from pallets? I mean, if they had their pallets, hammers, wire, cordless drills, etc. with a plan to make a simple but effective compost…"
Geoff Badenoch replied to 1,000 New Gardens's discussion The Organizer's Guide to Replicating Urban Agriculture Projects"From Geoff in Missoula, Montana,
Hi, Max,
My good friend and sprouter of seeds and ideas! I love that you have engaged the world in this project to get a handbook that will be useful to communities across the planet! We are all gardeners, after…"

Great post, Geoff! I feel like a mini-brochure or website compilation of these tips is in order! For instance, one gardener told me…"
Geoff Badenoch posted a blog postI'm in it for the green
The time I spend in my garden is a meditation. The work is not taxing--mentally or physically, if I am sensible. There is always something to discover. Observing growth is ticket to being able to wonder at how cool nature is. Flowers are a delight. And I get food. It would nearly be worth it without the food,but not quite. The food is the reason.This article will tell you just how worth it you can make it. http://tinyurl.com/3vxsqxThe author tells you…See More
Geoff Badenoch posted a blog postFifth Street Update
Long overdue, I know, but here's what's up. First, my leaf crops (kale, lettuces, etc.) were visited by deer banditos and I lost a lot of what I planted. Some of it has caught up, but the hot weather hasn't helped. Still, I have been getting a couple of salads a week out of them. Carrots are coming in well, too. Candy-like, if you know what I mean. My garlic crop--my first time growing it--has been a real delight. In other words, I got just what I thought I would get when I planted it last…See More
Geoff Badenoch commented on Maximillian Smith's blog post You say 'A weed is a weed!' But I know it's not! (and other ponderings)"Most excellent contribution, amigo. I love the tension between gardening and procrastination. Indeed, one is apt to confuse that which is enjoyable as idleness or goofing off even if it is useful and beneficial.
As for those neighbors, I say, make…"

Geoff Badenoch commented on Geoff Badenoch's blog post Composting Options"Just what we need: mushrooms hopped up on caffeine! The thought of a mushroom with the java jitters is just plain scary. I am a big fan of finding value in converting waste products to something useful. What kind of mushrooms like a little mud with…"

Maximillian Smith commented on Geoff Badenoch's blog post Composting Options"Hey Geoff,
I'm reading up on employing mushrooms into composting systems and the utility this provides (speeds up decomposition), the bioproduct. Stamets also mentions that ecosystem spent mushroom casts create. It gets me wondering about…"
Geoff Badenoch posted a blog postWhat's the value of gardening?
There are many ways to think about why we garden. The quiet time, the exercise, the control of household nutrition, care for the earth, etc. Here's another way to measure it. http://kitchengardeners.org/blogs/roger-doiron/home-garden-worthMy chard and kale is up, carrots are present and I finally planted my tomatos, pumpkins, squash and cucumber starts. Still waiting for the sun to power everything though. Thanks…See More
Geoff Badenoch posted a blog postComposting Options
Of all things about gardening, few topics get more discussion than composting. How to do it, where to do it,etc. Most everyone agrees it is a good way to convert waste to goodness, but not everyone knows exactly how to go about it. Here is a link to some different ways to do it, using a little more equipment and effort. It's not that these approaches are better, but they might work for your style of gardening.…See More

- Great, Paula! You and others with seeds to share should plan on coming to the 1KNG Seedluck Party where we will share/trade seeds and a meal with some good gardening fellowship. Time and place to be announced SOON!
