Bugs Ate My Garden
 Homegrown Evolution

Few things are more frustrating than tending vegetable plants only to see them mowed down overnight by a marauding band of insects. Here's what you can do.

The New Urban Forager
 Homegrown Evolution

Foraging can help us through lean times and enrich flush times, and it puts us in touch with the plant world and the cycle of the seasons, even when we're strolling down grimy Sunset Boulevard.

How to Save the World by Pooping in a Bucket

Perhaps it's time for some personal responsibility. Perhaps it's time for a poo revolution.

Garden Like a Pirate
 Homegrown Evolution

To the landless urban farmer, every vacant lot, parkway, office building planter and apartment courtyard is a potential cornfield, orchard or vegetable patch.

About Me

Bio

Erik Knutzen and Kelly Coyne, authors of The Urban Homestead, have become increasingly interested in the concept of urban sustainability since moving to Los Angeles in 1998. In the that time, they've slowly converted their 1920 hilltop bungalow into a mini-farm, and along the way have explored the traditional home arts of baking, pickling, bicycling and brewing, chronicling all their activities on their blog Homegrown Evolution (www.homegrownevolution.com).

Infused with the DIY spirit and distrust of the pre-packaged and the spoon-fed, they believe in that in this age, gardening and the home arts are a revolutionary gesture--one that builds and transforms our lives and communities.
