Another Urban farming idea

A person by the name of Steve Turner, owner of Wangara Horticultural Supplies has invented these film grade poly very strong planter bags with handles, it seems primarily for tree farmers. yet they seem like a great idea for urban framing in backyards or condo balconies. Growing in some small yards in west Toronto yardsis daunting when attempting to plot out some space to grow, and have enough space to use the yard for child play, eating and entertaining.

These bags would allow the movement of plantings of veg and herbs around as needed.

These bags are from Australia and I do not think they are available in Canada, but they do not look difficult to cut and sew up.

Design helps with urban farming

As Toronto inches its way to an acceptance to urban farming. This author began to think about the different needs of urban farmers, such the ability to not annoy your neighbors with smells, noises, general sundry issues such as disposing of waste, bringing in food, for animals such as chickens.

And then I came across this a wonderful chicken and egg design, it would likely even be great on a condo balcony.




The nogg chicken coop is a modern chicken house that has been designed in the shape of an egg. It has been designed to house from 2-4 chickens and is to encourage domestic farming while adding a touch of playful elegance. The nogg sits beautifully in any garden, urban or rural environment and is designed to enhance and compliment it’s surroundings. The nogg aids and advocates the provenance of homegrown foods.

Whats different this year?  The festival is not affiliated with the local  BIA nor is the BIA a sponsor of the festival this year.

And it addition to the traditional footprint we will have satellite sites throughout the greater Junction area - in the Upper Junction, Junction Triangle, and other places around the Junction.

Why? for two reasons... it called the Junction Arts Festival.. so it's now all areas Junction.

Also so we can bang things into the ground and tie down larger works, a big problem for years as the city does not allow for the harming of the roadway.

The off-road locations will also allow artist over two weeks to build their works.
