run two to four weeks in many climates,” says Robert Kourik (RobertKourik. com), landscape consultant, horticultural researcher and author of Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and Climate, and last year’s Understanding Roots. “It can be eff ective for virtually any fruit or vegetable, except water crops like rice and cranberries.”


Green Living Carol Venolia, author, speaker and architect in Santa Rosa, California, (ComeHomeToNature. com) has designed homes of straw, earth and sustainably sourced and reclaimed wood throughout the West. She consults on greening schools, healing centers, camps and eco-villages, and stresses the benefi ts of sunlight as in her new e-book, Get Back to Nature Without Leaving Home. She says, “Sunlight’s many wavelengths, shiſt ing directions and intensities render biological eff ects that keep us functioning well. Watch how it enters your home; changes occur daily and seasonally.” It’s easy to move furniture to align with


sunshine. In warmer climates, attach plant trellises or fabric awnings outside windows to fi lter or direct refl ected light. “Add a potted plant to a window and a picture of a natural scene on a wall. Take the time to get out into woodlands,” advises Venolia. She commends Marc Rosenbaum,


of South Mountain Company, in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, as a green building leader who “brings a soulful approach, as well as engineering, data and technology effi ciencies, to a project.” Along with green building goals like zero net energy, Rosenbaum strives to create homes that are healthy, comfortable, resource-effi cient, durable and adaptable by the people that inhabit them. Along with being part of the slow


food movement and do-it-yourself trends, Blume believes, “Homesteading gives people the feeling they are making a positive difference by making sustainable changes in their lifestyle and home.”
