Urban Agriculture is contagious! Since we have begun working on our piece of (formerly) vacant land in the Broadway – Fillmore area, we have seen at least three other urban farms emerge on the East side. All of us are big on ideas and energy, but short on cash and equipment. One of our common needs is good compost to revitalize our tired and abused soils. Without the soil, there can be no food!
