Erik Knutsen, co-author of The Urban Homestead, was interviewed on Los Angeles' KABC news about his and his wife Kelly Coyne's urban vegetable garden.
High prices at the pump and the produce aisle have Southern Californians looking for new ways to save money on their grocery bills.
"So it's possible to construct a whole meal out of your backyard," said Erik Knutzen. Erik Knutzen is using his green thumb to save lots of green on his grocery bill. "A typical meal for us might be some eggs, some Napolitos, some greens on the side," said Knutzen.
Knutzen doesn't live on a farm. He and his wife live in an Echo Park bungalow, two blocks off busy Sunset Boulevard.
"Once you grow your own, you'll never want to buy it ever again," said Knutzen.
