Don Rosenberg, Custom Gardner
I've been growing vegetables in my back yard in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the last twenty years. When it came time for a career change, I decided to do something that I really enjoy, and help others in my area learn how to garden, too. So, I've been working on ways to make gardening easier and easier. I've worked out a system that uses what I've learned about the ancient techniques of intensive terrace gardening and the latest research on materials, soils and organic gardening.
