After watching that I looked at the lawn outside and saw a huge wasted opportunity. But I guess the kids have to have somewhere to run around.

Yeah the Dervaes are an inspiration! I've linked to a lot of their stuff in the sustainability sticky on JB. He's the one who first coined "urban homesteading" I think. I used to read their bloghttp://urbanhomestead.org/ and I'm a member of their Freedom Gardens facebookesque thingy but I haven't done much with our place so I haven't kept up with it.

Oh wow. That gives me so much hope for my little patch. It's got me thinking about the wasted space out the front!!!

I find him a bit off putting that he has registered the term "urban homestead" and threatens to sues anyone who uses it. I would be like me putting a trademark on " organic knitting" and suing all and sundry. So for that, I think he is completely up himself and doesn't deserve my attention. seehttp://noodlebook.blogspot.com/2011/02/open-letter-to-dervaes.html
