In this video you will learn how the kids at Martin Luther King Middle School is Learning how to grow, harvest and even prepare local, healthy food.

I understand that people would like widescreen, a better mic and HD. Please understand, I do this as a hobby. I am not paid to produce or make these videos. Which does take my own time and sometimes money. I do this for fun. I would be glad to start shooting in widescreen, HD & get an external mic, but then would charge a monthly subscription. I feel its far better to provide FREE content (even if non-hd) to reach a larger audiece at no cost to my viewers instead.
Hey John I really enjoy your channel….keep doing it your way
@growingyourgreens I hope you are monetizing your videos, so then it may simply pay for itself. (:
Your videos are quite fascinating, I must admit. It would just be icing on the cake, perhaps. (:
How does one harvest the worm castings from the worm bin?
@growingyourgreens
Hi john i also met with those comments where people wanted you to start using HD camera, which of course would be a perfect think especially for those episodes where you show for example very small seeds or for better experiences in your funny and exciting videos.
@growingyourgreens
I would recommended you to try "paypall donate" maybe there are some people that would likely to help you with this interesting project ( including me :)). Maybe with only couple of bugs from individuals (1-5 dollars) but still something is better than nothing and you are quite famous so i suppose there is plenty of people that would like to help you and together we maybe donate you enought that wou will be able to obtain some hight quality HD camera :). Just try it
WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HD CAMERA RECORDING !?
Are you totally missing the message – come on people.
I like that your Videos have a "raw" homemade feel. It helps make you seem like a regular Joe (John) and that your philosophies are attainable for regular (non youtube famous) people. Keep up the great work!
Great video!
@growingyourgreens I love your logic…getting this message spread as far as possible is an awesome way to make an impact… have you thought about having a site too that links to the information you discuss? If you want help let me know…I'd love to help, maybe in a blog/directory format.
@KralZltko I totally agree @growingyourgreens could post the videos on a wordpress site or something as they are posted and then also have a paypal link on there as well as links to referenced places/resources.
Man, that junior high is cool, wish I would've gone to a school like that.
Hey John Do You always ask Permission from the Schools Stores and Other Places like that?
Hey John! Thanks for being such an inspiration. I would love to donate toward what you are doing. Also thanks to your mysterious camera person without whom there would be no show. Keep up the fantastic work!
@Skeletor4ever haha i know i know, i guess i have it worse being 18 xD, but there will always be someone older than u and to them u r always a kid. I have come to find even ppl the same age as me still call me, and others of the same age, a kid, but when it all comes down to it, its whatever ppl prefer lol
Thanks John!!!
this would be cool for you to mention again when it is in full bloom and produce if you can. 😉
Thanks for your videos. I look forward to them, there is so much to learn about gardening. It's great that we have an online community to share these things. Thanks again.
John, I just wanted to say that I enjoy each of your videos that you make and share with everyone. I appreciate all you do. I look forward to each and every video you post.
Love your videos John!!! Once we are on our property we would love for you to come to visit us at OneCommunityRanch ( a .org). We will be growing, building and sharing everything we do freely with the world. Your videos are greatly appreciated and inspiring Thank you!!!!!
@GospelTruth37059 Well said, particularly our youth need this type of learning instead of watching nonsense on TV and playing video games
Forget the kids, I want to go to school here! Lol!
teaching kids where food comes from, this message is more important now than ever..

Great video John, and great initiative by the school. Like you, I wish my school had 'agriculture studies' when I was growing up!
Obviously the school has space for a comprehensive program, but you don't need as much as an acre to get started – even a school green house is better than nothing, and would really help restore the connection of where food originates.
Can't imagine why on Earth anyone would click dislike on this guy's videos. He's providing great information in a concise and entertaining way – for free.
I go to this school it's SOO awesome!!!! P.s hi ms. Tanner
Love your videos….It would seem that PBS has picked up on this story and I just watched a show on this same school…..but we heard it from you first!!!
If you google school Edible Gardens Punjab। We as re running a similar programme in Punjab, India।
