don't use real soil (dirt) in container gardening I am looking for friends who share similar interests as me, and live in my area. These interests are described in detail below.

People in Northern Michigan who garden; my gardening zone is 5. Preferably am looking for those who grow vegetables, and herbs, as well as fruit.

The current method of gardening I use is container gardening, so finding somebody who grows the above things using a container gardening method would be most appreciated.

By container gardening I mean square foot gardening, raised beds and/or growing things in containers. In regards to square foot gardening, vertical gardening applies, but isn't mandatory.

The other interests I have are cooking and baking; love ethnic cuisine, especially Asian.

Would like to find somebody who grows fruit trees too that are suitable for MI.

By fruit I mean berry bushes (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, currants, and/or cranberries). Also this applies to fruit trees as well.
