Today I helped out with and photographed the Future Action Reclamation Mob (FARM) project, created by Robyn Waxman, planted on Hooper Street beside CCA’s San Francisco campus. Great progress was made!<\/p>\n

The purpose of FARM is to provide a community farm that everyone is free to work on and eat from (including the many transient homeless and laborers on Hooper Street, as well as the entire CCA community), to detoxify the environmentally toxic soil underneath CCA, and to simply beautify the area surrounding CCA.<\/p>\n

Raised mulch and soil beds were made using a sheet mulching technique (layers of wet cardboard, compost, granite dust, and mulch), and then edible and non-edible plants were planted in the soil beds. Through a permaculture technique, the non-edible plants will actually detoxify the entire strip of soil that they are planted on.<\/p>\n

FARM is currently scheduled to span the first 66 feet of Hooper Street (alongside CCA) and will go further if there is enough interest to care for the land.<\/p>\n

See the website FARM<\/a> for more information on the project<\/em><\/p>\n

“People are disappointed to find out I don’t wear a ski mask,” Annie laughed in her British accent (she was born in Wales). It’s true. Up until now, my notion of guerrilla gardeners was that they were mostly 12 Monkeys-like rebels toiling in midnight darkness to bolster the natural beauty of dull, cement-laden urban spaces. “Drivers beep at me all the time!” she added.<\/em><\/p>\n
