I haven’t yet talked a whole bunch about the vision that Charles and I share for UHGU. So even some of our regular readers may not be aware of what we mean by “pioneering distributed urban agriculture”. More on this coming very soon. While indoor LED growing for apartment dwellers like myself plays a huge role in our vision, we want UHGU to be so much more. Backyard, Greenhouse, and even rooftop greenhouses all all a part of the future for urbanites who want healthy, pesticide free produce. Recently, Charles was able to help us take the next step forward by obtaining a backyard! We have big plans for his newfound square footage and we made some of the first steps today. We are turning his deck into a shade-house and have plans for a Greenhouse as soon as we can scrape together the funds to make it a reality. Until then, enjoy the comedy of us using my car as a lumber hauler so that we could hang a couple of topsy turvy’s on the back porch until we can get the roof on it so that it’ll be ready for hydro.

It looks like you are onto some major production. I wish you the best of luck. I was wondering what those green things are that are hanging from your porch? Is that one of those upside down tomato growers?
