Watch (and learn!) as Lynn Gillespie—an organic farmer for over 30 years and owner of The Living Farm in Paonia, CO—plans, plants, tends, and harvests a high-performance garden.
Lynn has a unique “learn along with me” garden teaching system. You will actually get to see everything she does in her garden for an entire growing season, as she seeks to produce enough food so that she can eat something she’s grown every day for a year.
Below is the next episode in the season. (And stay tuned, as Lynn will have another update every week!)
Episode 6: All About Compost
This week in the High-Performance Demonstration Garden, we learn about compost—the basis for organic gardens and for being in harmony with nature.
This article is a great place to start learning about composting.
If you want a nutrient test you can do at home for compost that you make or buy, click here.
Lynn encourages you to learn how to make compost and then learn how to run your garden with mostly compost. This is a great way to create sustainability in your gardening.

Stay tuned! We’ll be publishing a new episode in this series weekly!
The Grow Network is a global network of people who produce their own food and medicine. We’re the coolest bunch of backyard researchers on Earth! We’re constantly sharing, discovering, and working together to test new paths for sustainable living—while reconnecting with the “old ways” that are slipping away in our modern world. We value soil, water, sunlight, simplicity, sustainability, usefulness, and freedom. We strive to produce, prepare, and preserve our own food and medicine, and we hope you do, too!
