You will be judged by your peers(fellow members). As you will also judge others,so if it looks like an asshatted soup sandwhich,well,you'll be judged as so...
everyone needs to look at this as an opportunity to put theory to practice,I'm just motivating the masses to do what we really should be doing on our spare time to begin with.

Well that is not what I thought guerilla gardening was at all. My impression was that it was crops grown out in fields or in a wooded area. Sort of a hidden garden if you will. Something that would provide some food similar to wild edibles. Also that it would be from hierloom seeds so that you could plant , say at a BOL, years in advance and could count on a base foode crop.
I have totally misunderstood. I had already started planning what I was planting where.

I'd say that you are right too. The link I gave is British.

Guerrilla gardening is gardening on another person's land without permission. It encompasses a very diverse range of people and motivations, from the enthusiastic gardener who spills over their legal boundaries to the highly political gardener who seeks to provoke change through direct action. It has implications for land rights, land reform. The land that is guerrilla gardened is usually abandoned or neglected by its legal owner and the guerrilla gardeners take it over ("squat") to grow plants. Guerrilla gardeners believe in re-considering land ownership in order to reclaim land from perceived neglect or misuse and assign a new purpose to it.

A quick summary of of the practice:

Planting one or more self sustaining vegatable/fruit patches that are inconspicously placed in areas a lay-person/s would not expect to find such a resource.
i.e. In a small wooded copice,in a clearing near a brook or stream,deep in a forested area with a multitude of canopy openings.


Sorry if there was any confusion.
Game on...

GB that is much more along the lines of what I was thinking. Obviously there are more than one way to skin that cat.

This should be very interesting, but I think I've got a great place to try it at this year. Learn some lessons and I will expand to other area next year.
