Growing Change: What is Windy City Harvest?

In Chicago’s industrial urbanscape, is it possible to grow sustainable food? Growing Change follows passionate Chicagoans as they learn how to farm in the city. In Windy City Harvest, students spend more time in gardens than in the classroom. This documentary examines the lives of people at the frontlines of Chicago’s budding local food movement. This short video was created in early 2009 by Mitra Sticklen and Christine Nielsen as a demo reel for a longer film about farming in Chicago. This youtube version is lower quality than the original (contact me for the higher quality version). Special thanks to Windy City Harvest, Fire Escape Films, and Judy Hoffman.

Cucumber Growing:- The chief needs of the Cucumber are light, heat, moisture and a rich growing medium. The best structure we have found for growing the perfect Cucumber Plant, at the present time, is a fairly low poly-tunnel or Spanish tunnel. The high humidity in these structures is very beneficial to the young Cucumbers as they are developing. Most hybrid Cucumbers are self-pollinating, this means that the aid of insects is not required. The tunnels can be kept closed and only ventilated when the temperature starts to rise in mid-summer. Cucumbers succeed best when the growing medium in which they are planted is placed on a foundation of good organic vegetable compost. More information on organic compost and the making of compost can be found on our blog.
