loved your talk on TED talks-is it feasible to have a KG in pots - i don't have "Any" garden space
You definitely can! Do a web search for "container gardening" or "crops in pots" and you'll see there are a lot of options. If you really want to be inspired about the possibilities, check out www.verticalveg.org.uk where a gardener is growing insane amounts of food in window boxes and a small balcony.
That's a lovely link, Roger! Will pass it on ... Also, Google Images has a huge variety of beautiful photo examples if you search "vegetable gardening in containers." And on the KGI facebook page, there's a recent post from a KGI friend showing vertical lettuce gardening in a tier of rain gutters on a sunny wall. My bike rides confirm anew that there are indeed a lot of plain, sunny walls next to kitchen doors!

Is Holly/Ilex still out there? She used to do a lot of blogging on the original KGI site about growing all her food on a balcony in Detroit. Is that content available somewhere, Roger?
Hi Maya. I'm not finding her when I do a member search on the site. I'll check our email list as it would be good to have here back. She was doing some very cool stuff.
