‘Survival gardens’ can help save cash

any cash-strapped families are turning to “survival gardens” to help dig out from the recession. These differ from the usual vegetable patch by delivering high yields from small spaces and producing wholesome foods that store well. Probably just as important: They can be done on the cheap. “They were called ‘victory gardens’ during the world wars because they helped ease shortages,” said Chris Becker, a regional agent with the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service in Florence. “We call them ‘survival gardens’ now because they help families cut spending.” The term is part of a larger do-it-yourself trend toward growing more backyard veggies and eating locally grown food. Survival gardens are used mainly to raise the kind of produce that you can grow for less than

EW YORK – Herb Van Gent points his infrared gun at a square of still unpainted gray shingle and clicks the trigger. He gets an immediate temperature reading: 143 degrees and rising. Then he aims it 5 feet away to a square of roof I have just painted: 98 degrees and decreasing. He smiles. “A 45-degree difference and we’re only on the first coat,” he says. That means it also will be cooler inside the building, he says, saving energy. Its 11 a.m. and we are on the roof of a New York retirement home, rolling out thick, shiny white paint. Van Gent is one of a volunteer group that has come up here to paint the roof as part of a city-sponsored “cool roof” program. The idea of painting roofs white is catching on across the country; Energy Secretary
Steven Chu has said it could contribute to the fight against global warming. “Cool roofs are one of the quickest and lowest-cost ways we can reduce our global carbon emissions and begin the hard work of slowing climate change,” said Chu in July, while announcing that Department of Energy buildings would be painted white wherever possible. While white roofs keep homes cool in summer by letting less heat in, they have little impact on winter heating bills, according to the Cool Roof Rating Council, a nonprofit group created in 1998 to research and implement the technology. That’s generally because the sun is less intense in winter, the group said, and less important as a heat source. The roofs do not let any more heat escape than other roofs, it said.
