The Bite:
imageOn the fence about your green-thumb's ability to duel weeds? Or just don't have the time? Let MyFarm take a stab at growing an organic, sustainable garden for you. MF will plant veggies and herbs right in your own backyard (complete with drip irrigation and a compost pile), and then maintain them sans pesticides on a weekly basis. You can sit back and let its farmers weed, prune, and gather your goods, or work alongside and get pointers (giving you time to perfect gardening with drink in hand). If you've got green space to share, you'll get a discount if you contribute fresh seasonals such as summer squash and chili peppers to its budding CSA. Touche.
Wanna Try: 
MyFarm. Garden installation, $600 and up; maintenance, $20/week and up.

Cocktail Fact

Fencing is one of only four sports that's been included in every modern (post-1896) Olympic Games.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters garden using sustainable gardening practices, we'll keep the weight of 29 fencers in pesticides out of the environment.
