Florida has just experienced another threat of a tropical storm :Irene.It was projected to be a category 4 Hurricane and it did not happen !
It ended up heading towards the Carolinas.
Fear and ignorance are the MAIN negative emotions that keep us away from reaching out to fulfil our goals.Succumbing and giving in to the bad habits of: Stereotyping,hearsay,rumors,he said she said eyc type of "RATIONAL" leads us to same destination of NO WHERE!
So for those who have phobias , fed by watching TV and reading main stream media news , it is time to break that indoor static oppsessive and OBESIVE habit and head outdoors! It is about time since procrastinating for so long about growing your own food in the tropics of S.Florida !
If I could do it,so can you!
I say:Flush out your fears first!Then replace your ignorance with AWARENESS organic gardening classes!Here is one class for those who love FREE stuff:
Composting class offered on September 10th at Lake Worth.Where the TROPICS BEGIN!More details at my web link below!
Taking a class on growing your own food even if you have no backyard garden is an important step to come close to your goal of URBAN FARMING.
The Options:
If you live in an apartment or studio :Small space productive gardening in S.Florida might be an alternative to choose instead of buying your expensive organic produce .If you lose your job or home and get evicted , then you may salvage your container garden and take it with you!
Growing herbs and vegetables in containers suits the Home of the Hurricanes state.You can move your container garden to safety if a Hurricane hits!
There are so many ways and places to garden even if you do not have access for a garden.Here are some options:Your patio,balcony,door entrance,kitchen ,roof top or at a community garden near by .I have done so for the last twenty years and I had lots of food without even owning a property!
For the small space :You can use trellis,hanging baskets,pots as a portable garden medium.
The challenges:
Lack of organic gardening awareness is the most common challenge especially for new comers to S,.Florida.Take a class on organic gardening and dispel the challenge.The tropical heat,humidity,mosquitos and pests etc are another challenge from Mother Nature.I can teach you how to deal with them , and turn the Lemon into Lemonade!
The possibilities:
Growing your own food is a possibility if you choose to convert the challenges into a solution for your health and financial issues.Can not afford the expensive organic produce anymore?Try to grow them, even in your limited space area.I can teach you how this coming Saturday.Be open.Be patient.Be positive!

I have contributed in growing and teaching organic gardening at seven community gardens for the last twenty years .I remember growing organic crops at a community garden land owned by a S.Florida city for 9 years .More than forty families had plots and contributed in transforming the neglected minority neighborhood and crime infested city plot into a flourishing /organic FERTILE soil enriched community garden.It was later on turned into a LAND FILL LOT by the city.In a TWEEK quick WIMP decision ,they cancelled the TOIL of a decade of farming /labor / fertile soil building /for a dumping site land fill!
Here is another similar situation to take lesson from and it is just happening right now.Another city is trying to destroy another fertile farm land to build on it a football field:
http://www.savenicksorganicfarm.org/
THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE WE ARE LOSING OUR JOBS,HOMES AND FERTILE FARMS LAND ..JUST FOR THE SAKE OF "BUSINESS AS USUAL"!
It is not a secret that farmers during the Great Depressiobn of 1929 were among the Big Losers financially.They lost their farms to the banks as they could not pay their mortgages.There was another reason :THE DRAUGHT.
History repeats itself unless we learn our lessons !
There were five main reasons according to a below study* why the GREAT DEPRESSION happened.
1-Stock Market Crash of 1929.2-Bank Failures.3-Government Economic Policy.4-Reduction in Purchase power.Draught.Learn more from history:
*http://americanhistory.about.com/od/greatdepression/tp/greatdepression.htm
Lot of ordinary folks lost their 401K savings and retirement pensions due to the stock market repetetive speculations and mini-crashes since3 2001.The fall and rise of gold now is attracting the concentrated wealth of the few as a safe haven against a weak paper dollar that is not backed any more by the presious metal.People are spending less as they are making less.Jobs are outsourced to foreign countries like Chinaand India.Farms are relocating to Mexico as the illegal immigrant population is being deported and local farm unluvrative jobs do not attract citizens who are used to fringe benefits,insurance,401K etc..
Dare to question the TRUTH about the economy and you will face a probe like the S&P Standard and Poor 500 who downgraded the status of our economy to AA+ from AAA!
But in the Information age of the Internet the INFORMATION is already OUT THERE: Here are some samples of EYE OPENERS for family farmers :

LAKE WORTH:A S.Florida small town is leading the nation on SUSTAINABLE living by embracing CHANGE and BOLD GREEN ideas like :Reverse osmosis (an approved ongoing project to MATERIALIZE in 2012),Organic Vegetable Gardens( Workshop sponsored by city commision recently/ongoing debate) -Composting Program of recycling kitchen and yard trash into garden compost(Ongoing Program ,started in June 2010 at the LW Public Service Dept.)PLUS a chain of GREEN ENERGY REBATES, example:Rain Barrels ,compost bins,and much more .
Comes the raising of backyard chicken petition and ensuing debate:
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/lakeworthchickens
Recently , the city commission approved for the fiirst time an ELECTRIC BILL reduction rate:
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/lake-worth-approves-lower-electic-but-higher-water-1752324.html
Times are hard for the mostly working class community.The elected officials are reaching out and listening and acting to elevate the struggles and activate solutions.
So, if people want to grow their own food or raise chicken to survive while facing more unemployment ,budget cuts and more financial hurdles, would that be a problem?
At least residents can turn trash into cash by composting and growing vegetale gardens instead of inefficient lawn grass!
Reduction of REGULATIONS and SPENDING BORROWED MONEY VERSUS INCREASE of INNOVATIONS and PRODUCTION of our own food including vegetable gardens and home raised chicken and eggs might be a SOLUTION to our never ending love affair with CONSUMPTION and SPENDING.
Would the ideas of producing food to create MORE JOBS locally ,be more palatable now ?When we have less cash on hand and more hands to employ and mouths to feed , wouldn't it be a good idea to cut on spending borrowed money and start empowering the community to be self sustainable by producing its own food rather than depending on SOUP KITCHENS and FOOD STAMPS??
You decide!
Have you noticed that your pine trees etc..dying and wondered why? Wonder no more:
http://www.naturalnews.com/033205_herbicides_trees.html
Have you noticed why the bees vanished from your garden ? Wonder no more:
http://www.wbjournal.com/article.php?RF_ITEM[]=Article$0@49349;Article
There are now alternatives to combatting the pests other than synthetic chemical pecticides that do more harm than help!
I personally have experimented with NEEM OIL.It does not kill the harmful pests but it does stop their MUTATION and MULTIPLICATION..I now grow neem trees and use neem leaves in my kitchen as well as in my garden ..No more killing.An OUNCE of Prevention works better than a Ton of CHEMICAL pecticides ..You will save money as well on the garden center BILL$!
KILL THE BILL$ !!!NOT THE BEES!
For more information about neem, try researching internet:
BENEFITS NEEM!
Interested in a NEEM TREE planted in YOUR GARDEN ? Give me a buz if you live around in S.Florida and watch the NEEM TREE LIVE IN the S.Florida garden at YOU TUBE:

Woonder why most of your family ,friends ,work colleagues and acquaintances etc are hating and halting their love more than ever you could remember?
Here are some FINANCIAL reasons why we are stressed out best portrayed in the below :
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/stress
I personally found this solution way back before the deep financial meltdown and debt default debate.I went through the whole process of stress when I lost my job with a multi national multi billlion Hi-Tech corporation.
Now it is your turn to feel the heat of the multi faceted melt down , so you needed to understand why it is happening to you next?
The solution lies in the garden and the farm.Troubled mind , mental distress ,incessant greed and other negative emotions cease as you switch off all the gadgets ,you stop running after numbers and papers and doing things.Stop , to smell the roses or the herbs if you can not afford roses!Just halt..take deep breath and go outdoors to experience garden therapy!
Gardening was the solution back in the previous depression not just to fill our stomach with much needed and scarce food, but to employ our unemployed hands and empty our heads of anxiety pranks , fears and stress related degenerations ..
Read the news papers and the STRESS level goes up skyrocketing ...So ,try something else other than the pills that just are numbing your nerves for now..Try gardening..and see for yourself..Touch the soil and your spirit and soul will be uplifted without the need for intoxicating "spirits" or the never ending verbal profanity barrages!!

Happy Gardening therapy!
When I was asked to volunteer in fascilitating a Composting FREE class at the Public Service Dept./City of Lake Worth back in June 2010-I had no idea that it will grow to become a GREEN PROGRAM !
Thanks to the pioneer creative vision of the LWPS director MR.Joseph Kroll , local residents now can obtain affordable compost bins , attend FREE Composting and organic gardening classes ,get help to start growing their food in their own backyards and save money on both the grocery and trash collecting bills!
When finding a job becomes a full time and long term :Mission Impossible" job, starting with a short term self created JOB to PRODUCE our own food is in itself an alternative and positive contribution in the right direction!
While living in a down graded ecconomy :/14.4 TRILLION debt -Soaring national 9.6%unemployment-Budget -spending cuts etc, people are now asking this question:Are we yet in the depression following the DEEP RECESSION:
I am personally a positive person who does not beleive in the gloom and doom conspiracy theories, but it does not hurt to get prepared and do like what our grandfathers did in the depression by growing their own VICTORY GARDEN to servive:
It pays to" light one candle rather than cursethe darkness".Innovative and creative acts like producing and growing our own food in itself is A JOB that pays in bringing food to the Home TABLES and Local Green Market!!.
Shifting gears from CONSUMING MENTALITY TO PRODUCING MENTALITY is all what we need to raise the GDP (Gross Domestic Product)!
Depending on charity hand outs/food stamps/unemployment checks/subsidies etc..contributes to further our DEBT crisis. Tax payers money ill spent on Local Aid through NON-PRODUCTIVE programs such as the above , is as counterproductive as the tax payers money spent on Foreing Aid .
Growing your own food saves by trimming the municipal RECYCLING costs of biodegradable trash for example:kitchen /yard scraps !.Composting saves on the garden center bill.Composting is a productive practice that transforms inefficient grass yards into productive vegetable gardens that can FEED our families and promote a sustainable self reliant agricultural ecconomy that does not depenf on importing food from foreign countries and recycle the dollar locally rather than send it abroad!
Here is a sample of the classes that are now being offered every month at Lake Wortgh:A pictutre is worth telling more than thousand words:

Have you heard about what is happening in California to a Co-op that sells RAW MILK? Do you have a farm that produces raw milk or are you a consumer of RAW MILK?If the answer is YES, then you MUST read this:

The New York Tinmes today has an article about the same subject ..Kind of shocking to see the stock market sinking in the aftyermath of the debt default debate that opened the eyes on our FOURTEEN TRILLION of DEBT .Now the world and local financial markets are reacting and our dollar and stocks and homes and jobs will witness another double DIP..recession or shall we hope NOT a DOUBLE DEPRESSION!

~ What is going on with the world.??!Blame it on the HEAT WAVE of the global warmin!Our heads are becoming super heated and we are beating the life out of the heck of you name it!
People tend to abuse DRUGS and end up in hospitals or dead.There is now an ADDICTION RUSH/ RASH that is spreading in S.Florida by COVENTIONAL MD clinics for PROFIT that prescribe and dispense on the spot PILLS for PAIN..Welcome to the PILL MILL big business fraud that is being targeted by LAW ENFORCEMENT ..
It is good to know:Dr.Hulda Clark wrote three books :Cheif among them "The Cure for all cancers" exposed some vitamins and herbal manufacturors who "intentionally" added lead and other toxins to their supplements..That was back in the 1990's.What is new?
A MEGA pharmaceutical company also cleared the market of small owners of herbs and vitamin companies by BUYING Them and becoming THE controller of producing supplements in the market .It kept the names of the previous old companies withiout change to deceive the consumer.The name of that Mega CEUTICAL company? You tell me?Get an education abvout what you put in your mouth before you get hurt !Another company a major Tobaco company has now a chain of food companies that it bought after the sale of cigarettes dropped down.Guess what they are doing with the food they produce?The same they were doing with the cigarettes:More additives,presetrvatives and toxins being added under the pretext of preswerving this and that!Get educated about who ptroduces your food?
Now the big Pharmaceutical companies are losing more money to the supplemnts and herbs business.So they are sending their lobbyiests to Washington to attack the Herbs and vitamins companies and drive them out of the market.Get educated about who are the companies that want to send you to the hospitals and feed you junk food and drugs for the buck of it?
Your best bet? Grow your own herbs and organic vegetables.You save on the grocery and hospital bill and God forbid ,you do not end up a life long drug consumer/ addict of the PILL MILL!
Get rid of the pill mill "addiction" and instead get an "education" about what you put in/out of your mouth.No ignorance or fungus among us.. It is good to know:

I have some ideas that will balance the budget default on who is at fault for the debt crisis and save a lot of tax payers mony on Medicaid and Medicare.Here is one of the most briliant one:
Let the farmers convert their farms and gardens into make shift clinics and hospitals where PHARM products like carrots and greens will replace the expensive PHARMACEUTICAL priducts like drugs .

From my experience as Organic Urban Farmer and my educational Background as Certified Horticulturist and Certified Massage Therapist, I have learned a lot about how to use my body when I do Garden or farming chores.
People who come to my Organic Gardening Class here in S.Florida forget to ask me about how to garden using their body as a TOOL.They are mostly focussed on the OUTER IMAGE whether of their garden DESIGN .They need to educate themselves how to cope with the OUTDOORS CLIMATE of TROPICAL S.Florida FIRST>
The human body adapts to the environment once we expose ourselves to the heat and humidity of SF.Gardening in the air conditioned COMFORT ZONE is not practical.
Here are some ERGONOMIC and Anatomy and Pysiology tips to follow :
1-Use your body weight when you garden, especially:When pushing,pulling,digging,lifting etc..Use correct postures hwen maneuvering your body in the garden chores.Listen to your body.
2-Use -and be MINDFUL of -the Gravity factor , when you position your functional and structural movements to do garden work.Remember that gravity encounter resistance from your body, so the less focal points of resistance exerted by your body the more efficient your work.
3-Study Anatomy and Physiology of the HUMAN BODY .There are plenty of learning channels especially if you check out INTERNET resources.
4-Choose the less STRESSFUL time to garden in S.Floida.Early morning or late afternoon where the temperature is not so HIGH for example.
5-Put on Garden Gear:Wear a hat,a sun screen .Drink plenty of water etc
6-Visit your health professional,chiropractor and make sure that your body is fit for gardening work.
7-Train your muscles gradually.Do stretching exercises to counter the constrictions of musles.Yoga is my best stretching exercise .Massages are very helpful too!
8-Use ERGONOMIC TOOLS that are fit for your body.Try them before you BUY THEM.There are so many tricks to sell you tools just to make a BUCK!Women and men have different standard tools to use depending on their body weight,size in addition to mental and physical muscular strength/endurance.
9-Train with an ERGONOMICS educated and gardening experienced farmer /therapist/mentor.
10-Sign up for Ergonomics classes and learn how to keep your body fit and safe while farming or gardening.It is good to KNOW!
Happy Ergonomic gardening!
There are so many speculations and tradings going on as people watch TV and read thenews of the Debt Default Conferences Battles .
I have a friend who depends on social security for a living so he is now starting to grow his own food .He never bothered to do so before untill the latest news started to emerge about the Great Default.
I beleive in sustainability as an answer to our many social and ecconomic problems that used to be tackled with either borrowing ,defaulting and or denying either or both as an issue.
Comfort zone created by the culture of Hi-TECH from TV to Cellular and counting...gadget wise!
Virtual reality and Actual reality is not same.Sanity and Insanity are not the same.Being Crazy is not Normal.So we are running away from our Problems and shooting instead the messenger .Remeber problem shooting?
So why now the Social Security becomes the focal point after so many decades of debt .Shall we raise the debt ceiling or rather seal and stop the debt?
One dollar printed costs us forty cents as a debt to the Federal Reserve which is printing the dollar and making 4o cents for every one dollar printed and borrowed by the government? I am not sure how the math goes , are you?
Farmers do not collect social security , do they?So growing their own food is the only security!
Here are some social security food for thought :

For the ordinary urban farmer here in S.Florida there are two kinds of challenges.
1-The man made ..
2-The Nature Made.
Here in Flotrida we have the EVERGLADES and the once known RIVER of GRASS.Both were the natural feeding water system to the acquifers and water resources.Untill man made canals were dug into the land to carry out and drain the water into the Atalntic and Gulf of Mexico to make room for development .
Now we are crying wolf and rushing to impose fines and water restrictions as water becomes so scarce with the never ending DRAUGHT !
The climate change is changing theway we do agriculture world wide as water becopmes less available.So man invented a solution :Water banks.
Well , it is not that NEW innovation or discovery as you might change the name of water wells to water banks per se!
I personally use the RAIN BARRELS as an alternative.You might be interested in the Water Banks , here are some sources:
http://westernfarmpress.com/management/underground-water-banks-tackle-drought
The Chinese proverb goes: It is better to light a candle rather than curse darkness.
Offering and sharing solutions is the positive way to meet the challenges .Have you done your share in sharing some positive thought srecently to convert a lemon into a lemonade?
Not long time ago I tried to research the time of the Great Depression for some information printed in text books or newspapers from 1917-1936 and lo and behold.
Not a singlee word of Great depression was fed to the public opinion by the main stream media about the state of the depression during that time.We started to learn about the great depression in the books and news papers and text books that were published after the depression was over.Is there a similarity that is going on now?
Why we did not here about the Economic Reckoning auntill now when the S& P threatened to downgrade the US economy from its current to # A to God Knows what rating .Last time the #A rating was graded was back in 1917...
How was farming back in the great depresion? Here are some videos to watch and see for your own eye ..now finally emerging:
http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=1930S+Farming&qpvt=1930S+Farming&FORM=VDRE#
Back then Do you remeber who was the president who was elected to blame for the Depression? Check out the history books after 1946..
Now they want to taint a president who was elected and inherited two wars and TRILLIONS of debt by the BUSH and Republican Administrations in general who launched the first Gulf war back in 1991 and still not yet done with ..The US was borrowing money to finance war and were the benficiaries? Ask HALLIBURTON?Ask Senators Kucinichs and Ron Paul?
Wake up to the facts that are now emerging:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-dennis-kucinich/debt-political-theater-di_b_898308.html
There are so many speculations and hypothesis now bidding for a financial collapse if the US dollar falls.The Farmers financial market is showing a distress signal as the heat and draught harvest the crops and more of the grain goes to produce the green oil for cars rather than for food.Prices for cotton and grains are soaring as more speculations are influencing the commodities market.
Farming Land is shrinking .As the markets for food production now react negatively wityh the Debt Default..how do the small farmer react ?
I am reading a book by Dr.Stephen Leeb : GAME OVER" and much of the hidden financial news are beibng revealed in thw pages.
Here are some glimpses for you to share and be patient to watch the story unfolds on your blank screen.Count for 30 before you give up watching it also as you click on top of page:The Cash Cow!..Be Patient :

You read the news aboy the WOERLD KNEWS SCANDAL in Britain and you wonder:Is this American Citizen who hacks ordinary British Citizens private phones and spies on their lives? Is he doing the same here in US?
One thing for sure he is doing through his Media Empire:Trying desperately to feed our heads with junk news .Forget not the continuous attack against the first African American president of the USA , through his TV News media, you know who!
Is this a Karmic pay pack .No one is immune under the SUN.We all get to know and seek the Truth when the DAY LIGHT uncovers Darkness of the NIGHT!!
What 's new in the Woerld KNEWS After MMM (Media Mogul Murderuch) hacking scandal? . WN Business as Usual has started to collapse in Europe with the arrest ,interrogation and investigation of current and former executives of Woerld KNews Mediaocre Empire .News of bribing the Chief Police in Scotland Yard and so forth is not good for business: Is it the right time to ask ourselves at least as Small Farmers in US :Who runs and ruins our business lives?
Just an example about how Monsanto won the war introducing and programming the American mind to accept their ROUND UP and other agricultural "killer gene -ious" patents :Check it out who was promoting them in this documentery that never made it to the main stream MEDIA business as usual:
http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/4414.html
Small Farmers of US :UNITE!
Get educated and give those who betray you and sell you in the speculation commodity stock market cheap to make themselves a fortune:TEACH THEM a lesson.
Show them that you read and write books and BLOGS and have an EDUCATION that can move and influence public opinion .That you can be sitting ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES on the benches of local and federal governments to serve those who served the food tables of the nation , providing crops so the people can EAT safe produce :FOOD MADE IN USA not anywhere else!
bACK IN THE gREAT dEPRESSION, THE VICTORY GARDEN FED THE aMERICAN PEOPLE WHO KNEW THEN NO FOOD STAMPS OR SOCIAL SECURITY.nOW IN THE GREAT DEEP RECESSION Americans are on the verge of losing both social security and food stamps due to the GREAT DEBT DEFAULT that is threatening to stop social security checks and other government assistance to the poor,disabled and senior citizen.
We have $14.5 TRILLION DEBT .China and Japan and UK own more than 4.5 $ Trillion of our TREASURY BONDS!Yes Foreigners own and can put our ecconomy down if they just sell those bonds and forefeight their ownerships of the vast sectors of our ecconomy including BIG AGRI BUSINESS .They have shares in all of our stock market and Business.The Dollar is weekend and the GDP is never as ever as low and BEHOLD!
Some of Our national media that is owned like other businesses of the Media Mogul ,now in the offensive in GREAT BRITAIN for his HACKING and POLICE BRIBING to the Police :has kept us in the DARK about who runs and ruins our ecconomy .Not any more with the internet blogs and freelance journalist/outspoken farmer who choses not to sell his/her soul to a mogul for thirty pieces of silver or gold.
A mogul cab bribe or hack a corrupt politician or chief of police in the case of the British phone hacking/police bribing scandal.But Small Farmers are NOT FOR SALE!Their land is the land of the FREE SPIRIT!
Americans are now waking up to the truths that were hidden away from their eyes.Aid should come to local small farmers not foreigners.Listen to what Senator Kucinich and Representatives Paul are now calling for.Stop spending money on Forign Aid and Foreigners who own US.Spend our tax pasyers money instead in the US!
This is what is going to end the Deep Recession when our dollars come back home and foreigners like China who own our treasury bills go home!
Small farmers of the US :Unite! It is Election Time coming up next year!
The Usual election motto is :IT's THE ECONOMY , STUPID!
The Unusual this coming election is to get educated how to recover the ecconomy .Here is a starting point A WORD FOR THE WISE :
