When Purdue University professor Ian Lindsay and his wife moved to a suburban lot in West Lafayette, IN, several years ago they decided to put their extra energy and time into growing food, rather than lawn, in their front yard. I discovered Ian’s garden on a bike ride last summer, and talked with him about the politics of food choices, front yard garden aesthetics, and the wisdom of drip irrigation.

Yes, children growing around growing perennial foods resonate recognition of cycles of life.
Fabulous!!!! Peat is not so eco friendly -please consider other sources of organics. Absolutely love what you're doing!!!
Awesome video, I want to start a tropical fruit food forest.
Very interesting video.
Food security that he suggests is actually food insecurity. The food justice movement is the globalist plan to feed the future population. Look at the UN plan for 2030. It's a step back in time, and the feudal system. Think outside the box, because that's where the globalist crazies are thinking. Nice garden, but way too high maintenance.
I also removed the lawn and growing garlic. 20 varieties. It's less work than keeping up a lawn. Selling the garlic at farmers market.
If it wasn't for people and videos like this I probably wouldn't watch YouTube! 👍
