Growing Smarter (and easier!)

UrbMat-Clean-Full_I saw this article in my Terp Alumni Magazine (MLIS UMd 1997!) about alums who have created a blueprint garden called a Nourishmat (check out their funded kickstarter). It’s a 6×4 foot UV treated polypropylene mat with pre-cut holes, labels and grid to tell you where to plant what and helps combat weeds. It comes with 98 seed balls – a variety of herbs and veggies and outfitted with an easy to attached hose to its drip irrigation system. Basically an easy way for ANYONE to start gardening! Looking recently for more info on the product I see it is now called UrbnEarth. You can order a variety of non GMO seeds too!
