The Garden Pool – Feed Your Family Food From Your Backyard Ecosystem by Dennis and Danielle McClung Garden Pool LLP | June 2012 | PDF | 57 pages | 24.5 mb http://gardenpool.org
How to design, build, and operate your own Garden Pool system of self-sustaining food production in your backyard. Garden Pool started as one family’s blog to document converting an old backyard swimming pool in to a closed-loop food-producing urban greenhouse and has evolved in to a non-profit organization. The GP (short for Garden Pool) was a one of a kind creation invented by Dennis McClung in October of 2009. It is truly a miniature self-sufficient ecosystem. Garden Pool is dedicated to research and education of sustainable ways to grow food. Our mission as a non-profit is to develop better ways to grow food and help others do the same.
