Rooftop and Balcony Gardens

Johanne Daoust micro farms a roof-top vegetable garden in downtown Toronto, a garden which has been described as a "first-class example of both urban food productivity and creative applied research." An advocate for growing food safely in an urban setting she uses a 'square foot, raised bed method' of growing, along with sub-irrigated planter technology to grow her food plants. Sub-irrigated planter technology is like providing "a scuba tank for plants" because it creates an optimal growing environment by delivering water, oxygen and organic fertilizer directly to the roots of a growing plant in a water-tight planter. The system saves water, nutrients and time, and on Johanne's Flickr page you can see how it produces spectacularly beautiful food.
