About Me
- Barry Daly
- I'm a photographer, and urban farmer now living in Melbourne. Bringing knowlege on how to grow food in this region through experienced growers and my trial and error. Urban farming has been growing rapidly - worldwide more than 800 million people are engaged in urban agriculture to some degree. Urban farms not only deliver fresh produce the same day it is harvested, with lower transportation costs and the use of less fertilizer and water, they can absorb a significant amoumt of solid and liquid waste, reducing urban waste disposal problems and costs.

Yes, we are growing Banana in our garden. we had fruits twice this year already. however they are running(spread)quick.they took almost one of our vegie patch so we dag out some of them then just 4-5 trees now.
Since stop raining, their growing speed has been slowly.
It's great to have Banana- organic!
