Introducing the Best Gardening Methods on the Planet

My name is Jim Kennard, and as President of the Food For Everyone
Foundation I am excited to help in fulfilling the foundation's
mission of "teaching the world to grow food one family at a time."

We do this by providing a wealth of free vegetable gardening
information, training, tips, and advice on the internet at
www.foodforeveryone .org. People from all over the world come here
to receive free training and advice, as well as to obtain the great
gardening books, CDs and software written by Dr. Jacob R.
Mittleider.

The Mittleider Gardening Basics Course ebook is free on the
website. The book-length FAQ section also has 365 short gardening
articles, which answer people's questions and give advice on many
vegetable gardening subjects.

In addition we have free greenhouse plans and free plans for
automating your garden watering system, as well as a free gardening
group where you can share knowledge and experience with thousands of
successful vegetable gardeners.

I'll briefly introduce you to the Foundation's gardening methods by
describing a few things about the Mittleider Method that are
important, and which distinguish it from other gardening methods.

Most of the time our gardens are grown right in the native soil,
with no amendments. We promise you "a great garden in any soil, in
almost any climate". From straight sand to the worst clay, we'll
show you how to have success growing healthy, delicious vegetables
the first time and every time.

Grow-Boxes, or containers are sometimes needed for people living in
apartments, and for disabled people. Container gardening can be
just as effective as growing in the soil, and 2 ½ of Dr.
Mittleider's 10 books are dedicated to the unique features of the
container gardening process.

The Mittleider Method is sometimes called "the poor man's hydroponic
system", because we use some of the principles and procedures of
greenhouse growers, such as vertical growing, feeding the plants
accurately throughout their growing cycle with natural mineral
nutrients, and sometimes extending the growing season in both the
spring and fall.

The Second major element in the Foundation's mission is teaching,
training, and assisting people directly. One way we do this in
America is by conducting free ½-day group gardening seminars. These
can be arranged by contacting me by email at jim@growfood. com.

We also conduct humanitarian projects in many countries throughout
the world. In 2006 I went to Armenia with my wife Araksya and spent
5 months - from February to mid July. We created a gardening
training center in the village of Getk, with housing, classroom,
greenhouse, and 3/4 acre garden. We taught students, who became the
gardening experts in their own villages, and we assisted them in
working with about 200 families in those villages. We left the
training center and garden in the able hands of an Armenian couple,
and expect the work will continue there, with our occasional visits.

In Armenia, as in other places we've worked, we grew many kinds of
vegetables the locals thought couldn't possibly be grown in "their
region", and often had many non-participating village families
coming to our garden for advice, coaching, and free produce.

Another way in which we extend our reach is to train others who are
becoming missionaries for their churches. One example is Howard and
Glenice Morgan, from Southern California, who just returned from a 2-
year mission to Zimbabwe. They were sent to teach Mittleider
gardening to their church members throughout the country, and they
did a FABULOUS job.

They prepared by studying the Mittleider gardening books. Then,
after some training in my garden at Utah's Hogle Zoo, and using only
the simple 6 Steps to Successful Gardening, the Morgans created 84
large gardens and taught over 10,500 people to feed themselves by
growing their own healthy vegetables.

And Howard and Glenice thanked me for helping them have the time of
their lives! Howard was a retired dentist, by the way, with very
little previous experience in gardening.

So, whatever level you are currently on, you too can experience this
kind of success – whether it's in your own home garden, a community
effort, or as a humanitarian missionary in some distant country.

Join us as a Mittleider Method gardener, for the best gardens of
your life.
