Jersey City, NJ » Farming Inner City Concrete with Brother Barry

They're "farming concrete" here in Jersey City. When growing in sub-irrigated portable micro gardens like these EarthBoxes, this lot could just as well be blacktop or concrete.

This isn't about farmer wanabee hipsters and yuppies, it's about growing fresh food and fresh new outlooks for people living in very difficult environments. Where is the leadership to make this happen in all concrete jungle neighborhoods across America?
