Mobile Garden Containers

I received a link to some cool garden containers that are pretty reasonably priced considering almost no labor is needed to set up. Just another innovative way to enjoy a garden. http://aplusrstore.com/

Raffle Results

We had a great time at the Natural History Museum tonight. We raffled
off our rain-gutter gardens and helped inspire many individuals to
start their own gardens. If you have not signed up for Crop Swapper,
please do it now! We will soon be organizing our groups for the next
growing season. Thanks to all who support Crop Swapper!

Win a rain-gutter planter box!

Rain Gutter Gardens

I received an article of which I think is a great concept for those that have limited space; or just want more consolidation of their greens. I imagine this could assist in controlling a rodent problem as well. 

p.s. Some smaller versions of these will be raffled off by Cropswapper at the San Diego Natural History Museum event - "Ecology of Soil: A Public Health Concern" this January 12th.
 

Hey There CropSwappers,

It's been a while since we have posted, so we wanted to give a quick update on what we are doing. We have been attending the San Diego Natural History Museum events on local food. There has been a great turn out and lots of people are signing up to be a CropSwapper. So far we have been adding about 40 members per event, so we are hoping to have lots of participation for the next season of crops (we will do a crop organization in Jan/Feb). We are also doing a swap at the table during the beginning of the events from 6-6:30pm. Feel free to bring in items for a swap and hope to see you there!

Here is a list of the upcoming SDNHM events we will be attending.

CropSwapper Continues @ SDNHM

Once again, CropSwapper will have a swap at the San Diego Natural History Museum on October 6 from 6:30-8PM. We had such an interest in our organization, we thought we should be there again. We will be doing our swap there instead of our normal Monday swaps in Del Cerro. Please join us and enjoy the lecture "Growing a Social Movement to Change the Food System". Thank you SDNHM for your support!
