We are involved in humanitarian actions for rural people in the drylands and in the combat of desertification. Keyhole gardening and bag gardening fit very well in our strategies to help people suffering from drought and lack of soil fertility. Thus, container gardening is broadening to a growing number of "container types" of which most are described on my containergardening site. All kinds of pots, bottles, bags, drums, even wheelbarrows and many more containers have been suggested as solutions for food productions in rural and urban areas. I like the ideas of keyhole gardens and bag gardens very much. We will contact "Send-a-Cow" and set up some trials quite soon. Thanks for sharing these practical ideas with us.

(Your texts and pictures make me miss the UK so much!) It sounds like we are swinging between hope and fear with the climate change.
