My husband and I rent in the Old Town area. We are trying grow tomatoes and peppers in 5 gal. buckets. So far the are doing well. But I am also intersted in very small scale composting to support our container gardening experiement! Any suggestions?

Born and raised in ABQ we are carrying on the Urban Farming tradition in our tiny backyard in NYC. Pole beans, spinach, arugula, lettuce and anything else that grows with only a few hours of sunlight/day. Gotta love it!

I have a huge clump of catnip in my backyard. Cat died, so I'm going to plant mint (go mojitos). Anyone want it? I guess there's about a square foot of it back there, pretty established.

Farmers and supporters: Check out "replies" to the announcment of the GMO Conference above, OR my personal Blog, for an in depth reporting of the conference. The small farmers and possibly the entire Green Chili economy is in potential danger if GMO's are not kept in-check in New Mexico.

You might try the Urban Chicken group here on DCF or Craigslist is always a good place to look. If your looking for chicks there are several feed stores in the valley.

Speaking of bees, as someone has, I've noticed this spring that we have hardly no insects in Bosque Farms, even along the drainage ditch where I live. I have a Rocky Mountain Bee Plant or two blooming, which, in most years would have 15 or 20 species of insects plus humming birds swarming around it, but especially honey bees and bumblebees. There are none this year. Not at noon, not in the morning, not in the evening. No butterflies. No moths. I'm thinking that mosquito spraying has crashed the insect population. Although the barn swallows in a nest on our porch managed to produce five chicks, I don't know where they got the food. A couple of martins started to nest here and then left. We have robins but they eat worms and crabapples. But the lack of honey bees scares me. We are within a half mile of a bee farm and still no activity. Also, I've noticed that there are no mosquito-eating fish (gambusia) in the drainage ditch, where they have been every year for generations. Anyone noticing anything similar to this?
