In this episode, the Liberty Hippie sits down with Brian Engelman of The New American Media. Brian has been curating content on YouTube that ranges from gardening, to sports, to politics for eight years. After moving to LA, Brian bought a condo in an HOA and eventually made the decision to start making his immediate environment healthier and friendlier; one of the main ways he did this was through container gardening. We talk about how Brian’s experiments in container gardening got started, and grew into a community wide project offering free vegetables and plants to other members, and how the improvements he made bettered everyone.
