- How Many Farms Can You Fit In One Apartment? -

Best-selling author Jay shows health-aware urbanites how to grow organic produce in a tiny space. The Joy of Windowsill Organic Gardening

The kitchen table is laden with fresh and wholesome organic tomatoes, baby lettuces, summer squash, and fresh herbs. A scene from Country Homes or Ranch Living? Think again. Within the confines of our concrete jungles, a new breed of gardener has emerged, one that is willing to work every inch of available real estate to produce tiny porch gardens and patio crops.

Urban gardening calls for a new set of skills; the tools to get started, choosing the right crops, and their proper care. Organic farming innovator Jay North is a world-class developer of time tested organic practices. In his new book "The Windowsill Organic Gardener: Organic Growing for the Urban Gardener" Jay offers a step-by-step guide to grow vegetables, herbs and edible flowers in a spaces as small as a windowsill box. His organic process is easy to follow and does not require complex equipment for hydroponics or high intensity lighting.

"I guarantee you," says North, "that there is plenty of room in your apartment to grow what you love, year-round, no weeds and no pests. For thirty years I have developed tested methods for farmers and gardeners interested in a healthier way to grow food. The final frontier is the urban dwelling. After you try organic growing you're hooked. You can't wait to get home to see what bloomed or sprouted. It’s easy and it’s a lot of fun. Best of all, you can do all your farming in your pajamas!"

- Dreams Alive Magazine Updates and Opportunities -

See what's new, what's exciting and what's coming up in the issues yet to come.

Updates:

• We had previously announced that Dreams Alive Magazine would be released monthly, starting with January 2005, but our desire to release an issue of Dreams Alive Magazine each month does not currently agree with our capacity to do so. The primary reason for wanting an issue each month was for the purpose of creating a more consistent presence and to eliminate the 3 month gaps between the spring-summer and summer-autumn issues.
   
• Our new solution...and we will stick with this...is an issue every two months as follows, 1/15 - Winter, 3-15 Spring, 5-15 Summer, 7-15 Vacation, 9-15 Autumn and 11-15 Christmas. This adds 1 issue per year and eliminates the 3 month gaps that did not sit well with us. We have already updated our submission and advertising pages accordingly.

Opportunities:

• One aspect of our magazine that often includes massive searching and time consuming modifications, is the selection and creation of our magazine cover. Since the cover is a large image, many of the images submitted to us along with articles, cannot be considered.
• At this time, we would like to encourage artists and photographers to select or create images that would be great for use as our cover and send them to us for review. Each approved and used image would include an acknowledgement and link back to the authors website or e-mail address. Since our magazine is released seasonally, we generally search for indoor, outdoor or creative abstracts of each season. You will be welcome to send as many selections as you desire, providing they follow the guidelines below
  • The image must be at least 750 pixels wide and 900 pixels tall, without having been stretched to that size. Clarity is important.
  • Since our magazine title and main topics exist on the left side of the cover, it's best if that area is not "busy" to the point where it is difficult to read. If you look at most of our cover images, you will see what we mean.
  • For images that are of different dimensions, your images will be cropped, not stretched to fit. Also, for images that are much larger than needed, we will proportionally resize them to the proper size and then crop as necessary.
  • Send all submissions in jpg, bmp, psp or tif format. If you do use JPG, do not compress more than 15%.
  • Send submissions to:
