We at Urban Organix strive to customize and facilitate various degrees of sustainable self-sufficiency in the urban environment. We believe that every step towards a sustainable, eco-friendly existence is important and that the health and economic benefits present their own reward.
Our goal is to maximize our use of square footage for highest yield in small urban spaces while staying true to our convictions with regards to growing in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. As much as possible we heed the Farmer's Almanac when planting. By grouping plants together when they are complimentary to each other and keeping them apart when they don't get along, we utilize tried and true companion planting principles. When one crop's season has passed another takes it's place to ensure some nutrient-rich food is always available. Where possible, we have rain barrels collecting chlorine-free water to give vitality to the garden during dry spells. And once the garden has become productive, a series of compost bins to process yard clippings and organic kitchen waste into rich fertilizer so that nothing is wasted.This is what we envision to be a baby step in the right direction to reduce our negative impact on our planet and ourselves. In the process we will increase the nutritional content of our diet, lessen the fuel burned to bring the foods from the farm to us, reduce the chlorine and chemicals we release into the environment (and ourselves) and feel like we are closer to doing our part.
