Pat Marfisi applies the low-water, layering technique to his Hollywood Hills plot and reaps an abundance of organic produce.
PAT MARFISI carries bales of alfalfa hay and straw into the center aisle of his Hollywood Hills vegetable garden and begins tearing off pieces of the stuff. He doesn't have any animals to feed, just his "no-dig" landscape: raised beds using lasagna-like layers of fodder, bone and blood meal and compost -- and remarkably little water.
`
`
Now that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a statewide drought, Marfisi's 300-square-foot patch seems more relevant than ever. It's his personal horticultural laboratory for a low-water, sustainable technique he learned working on organic farms in Australia last year.
Since he began gardening in this fashion, he says, he has been "inundated" with food. With the exception of some recent losses to raccoons drawn to the soil's abundant grubs and earthworms, Marfisi's garden is thriving with beets, collard greens, chard, celery, tomatoes, chives, peppers, basil, chives, lettuces and leeks. He estimates he grows enough food to feed three people daily.
When asked how much he waters, Marfisi shoves his hand deep beside some Swiss chard and pulls out moist, decomposed soil laced with remnants of straw. "I haven't watered in 10 days," he says. "This is what I want people to know: You can have beauty and abundance without a lot of water."
The retired Marfisi came upon the method while working as a volunteer farmhand Down Under, where the technique has been used since the 1977 paperback, "Esther Deans' Gardening Book: Growing Without Digging," promoted it as a solution to poor soil, rampant weeds, water shortages and costly food.
"Today, L.A. faces a lot of the same issues," Marfisi says. "In addition, we have global warming from pollution, and home gardening is a significant way to reduce transportation cost and related pollution."

2- Buy Local Foods
http://www.localharvest.org
http://www.organicconsumers.org
He points out that noted food and science writer Michael Pollan, author of the recent "In Defense of Food," estimates that the distance traveled by food to the plate of an average American is 1,500 miles. "This number is 150 feet for most home gardeners," Marfisi says. "That is a huge reduction in transport cost and pollution."
UNTIL HE had time for hands-on yard work, gardening was a passionate intellectual pursuit for Marfisi, who likes to sit for hours studying bugs with reference books in hand. But after leaving his job as a management consultant, he enrolled in UCLA Extension's horticulture program, which inspired him to dump water-hungry annuals and replace them with California natives. Then last year, Marfisi, who has a doctorate in economics, decided he wanted to become a farmer.
At age 60, Marfisi became a WWOOFer -- he joined World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms
( www.wwoof.org), an international cultural exchange program that provides organic farmers free labor in exchange for providing workers with food and lodging.
The former consultant for big-name clients such as Sun- America thought it would be the ultimate work-study program to learn about sustainable farming and lifestyles.
"The attraction was to get into the heart of the world of permaculture and biodynamics and experience it firsthand," he says. "Being retired, I had the time. I thought, 'I'm still healthy and strong.' I figured now is the time to do it." (He hopes to join WWOOF again next year in Costa Rica).
He started on a farm in New Zealand. Moving to Australia, he eventually worked on farms in six cities in Tasmania, Southern Australia and the Northern Territory. His friends thought he was crazy.
"Here is a guy who made the transition from corporate board rooms to the deserts of Australia and New Zealand to examine horticulture," friend Perry Parks says. "I couldn't get my head around it initially. At his age . . . hiring yourself off to various farms? Digging fence posts?" he says, chuckling.
"But tracking him through his e-mail messages, it seemed to be a real change of pace and it took on a kind of a meditative quality. Everything seemed to be slower, simpler and clearer. He got a lot out of it. Now he's come back and put it into practice," Parks says.
THOUGH there is some debate over the origins of the no-dig method -- Ruth Stout's "How to Have a Green Thumb Without an Aching Back," first published in 1955, and Masanobu Fukuoka's "One Straw Revolution," translated to English from Japanese in 1978, are other references -- one thing is certain: It is easy and it works.
Veteran gardeners will say that the greatest amount of work in creating a successful vegetable garden goes into soil preparation. One of the best things about this sustainable alternative: You don't have to break your back digging and pulling roots.
"It's a wonderful movement," says landscape designer and garden writer Rosalind Creasy, author of "The Complete Book of Edible Landscaping." "So many gardeners presume you have to start with a rototiller. That only destroys the soil structure and burns the organic matter."
No-dig beds are created by layering organic materials above ground on newspaper. Marfisi starts with alfalfa hay (Deans recommends Lucerne hay, but it's hard to find locally), then straw and finally compost. Marfisi dusts the newspaper, alfalfa and straw with blood and bone meal. (Details in accompanying story). The layers then decompose, turning into a nutrient-rich mixture much like compost.
Marfisi says no-dig is more efficient, water wise, because once a plant has a 10- to 12-inch root system, the layers of compost and straw keep moisture around the roots. And you can keep layering it over and over again as the organic matter breaks down.
Aside from its looking a little messy, Creasy finds few negatives to no-dig. She does urge novice gardeners, however, to learn about soil nutrients that vegetables need. "You still have to fertilize," she says. "You still have to renew the nitrogen. Peas are legumes and they have nitrogen-mixing bacteria. Broccoli is a heavy feeder. You [also] have to think about crop rotation."
Marfisi concedes that it is harder to get nitrogen and the acidity or alkalinity right in a fresh no-dig bed than in conventional soil. But once the organic matter has been in for two or three months and fertilizer is added, these imbalances seem to correct themselves, he says, and his harvests have been bountiful.
It seems Marfisi was destined to become a locavore from an early age. He clearly remembers the first seeds he planted as a 7-year-old in Missouri. The simple act of pushing seeds into soil and waiting to see what happened was the beginning of a lifelong yearning that would haunt him until he retired.
"I was blown away that seeds manufactured flowers," he says of discovering pink and orange zinnias weeks later. "Even to this day it still amazes me. . . . That picture remained in the back of my mind, while I was working 80 hours a week."
Now vegetables provide that same fascination. "Reconnecting to earth is huge for people who are contemplating retirement."

Great Northern Hydroponics Donates Tomatoes to Help Detroit Hunger
Detroit-based food rescue, Forgotten Harvest, currently rescues 9.5 million pounds of perishable and prepared foods per year and delivers them to organizations that serve the hungry. Last summer, refrigerated trucks began accepting donations from Great Northern Hydroponics, a 50-acre tomato greenhouse in southern Ontario.
The rescued tomatoes are unsuitable for commercial sale because of minor surface imperfections, but are otherwise completely healthy. The tomatoes now go to help feed the 500,000 people in the Detroit's tri-county area who live below the poverty level.
"The quality and quantity of the tomatoes from Northern Hydroponics are pretty remarkable," said Monica Luoma, director of Communications at Forgotten Harvest. Luoma believes that food rescues like Forgotten Harvest are the critical link connecting rescued food to the people who need it the most.

Punk Garden Aids Teenage Cancer
John Tilley, owner of Dragonfly Garden Design Macclesfield, UK is gardening with a mission: to help fundraise for the Teenage Cancer Trust. He lost his own mum to cancer and felt inspired to apply his unusual garden design, "Punk's Not Dead," to the Royal Horticultural Society alongside 100's of competitors for a slot at the prestigious RHS Tatton Flower Show this summer to raise money for the trust.
The garden illustrates the cultural clash between teenagers and their parent's generation: one side is a Italian garden representing the orderly adult life with hedges, topiary plants and lavendar and the other side features a punk inspired-design with a graffiti wall and spiky punk plants like Cordyline, Yucca. Agave and Araucaria Araucana (monkey puzzle) plant.
Six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer each day, that's over 2,000 every year. But these patients don't stop being teenagers just because they get cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust ensures that young cancer patients get the best possible care in hospitals and the chance to do all the things that other teenagers do. www.rhs.org.uk/tatton/2008

Maldives Autopot Project Aids Tsunami Relief
Autopot oversaw the construction of two greenhouses in the two wards of Noonu Kendhikulhudhoo island in Maldives with financial assistance from the Force of Nature Aid Foundation (FON).
With help from an Autopot specialist, sweet melon and rock melon seeds were planted by community members in a medium of broken bricks.
In this region of the world, there is a shortage of suitable land for agriculture, the soils allocated for crop production are very poor (they have sandy and have poor moisture and nutrient retention capacity); fresh water is limited and rainwater is the only source for agricultural application.
Well water is available for field application, but it contains too much salt (EC of 1 to 1.4) to be suitable for hydroponic use. Most of the food stuff (an estimated value of US $30 million annually) has to be imported into the country to serve the tourists as well as the local population.
The Autopot technique is different from systems such as NFT and drip-to-waste.
It allows users to accurately dose the nutrients to the plants without the salt build-up problems many hydroponics experts expect.
There is no run-off and no flushing is needed.

Florida Food Bank Starts Hydroponic Garden
Martha O'Brien, assistant CEO of food bank, Volunteer Way in New Port Richey, Florida will start a hydroponic operation behind the Volunteer Way's warehouse on 6.8 acres of donated land.
Currently the food bank gets very few donations of fresh produce to feed the some 8,000 families they service as well as 70 faith-based organizations who do daily pick-ups. The demand for food is great, especially, says O' Brien, in this economic downturn. She reports that 25 to 30 new families come for food every day.
The nonprofit has only one paid employee, so the organization relies heavily on volunteers and donations. And of course, the potential of feeding food bank drop-ins fresh vegetables is quite appealing.
O'Brien said the group was inspired to grow hydroponically after seeing the hydroponic projects by the inmates at the Pasco Sheriff's office county jail have been growing lettuce.
One article in the Sun Coast News reported that the jail hydroponics project yielded 77,242 heads of lettuce and saved the law enforcement agency $230,954.
