Why I'm Getting Dirty:  I've tilled a garden for years but now that I live in a condo I am working on enhancing my container gardening skills. Since I live in a green community, this year I am focusing on bird habitat so they keep our insect population down without chemicals. I just added worm composting to my tiny farm to create great soil structure and nutrients for my container garden. 2012 update: I have secured a 6' x 22' area for this growing season at a friend's house. The spring garden is going in now.
