Urban Gardening.

According to Inhabitat, Brooklynites Ian Cheney and partner Curt Ellis of Wicked Delicate have converted a 1986 Dodge Ram into a mobile urban vegetable garden, creating the first entirely self-contained CSA. And they’ve been documenting their efforts in online video (naturally):

Getting Truck Farm started wasn’t quite as easy as just dumping a bunch of dirt into the bed of a truck and tossing some seeds in. As Cheney illustrates in Episode 1 of the series, holes had to be drilled into the bed for drainage (”I kinda hope I’m not drilling into the gas tank,” he muses). Alive Structures, an NYC-based company that specializes in rainwater management lent a hand with a root barrier, erosion blanket, drainage mat and cups which are usually reserved for green roofs. Last, but not least, the soil that lies in Truck Farm’s bed is not just regular dirt - it is a special lightweight blend of styrofoam (talk about a cool way to recycle polystyrene!), gel, organics, and clay.
