In terms of the hands-on and demonstration portions of the workshop, three of the four primary activities (vermicomposting, container gardening, and oyster mushroom cultivation) are extremely well suited to an urban apartment context. The other, backyard micro-enterprise, involves some information about techniques that require (as the name suggests) a backyard. But many of the ideas presented in that section are useful even if you don't. If it is any help, I just had some apartment dwellers from Los Angeles in the last workshop, and they found it quite useful for their situation. Hope that helps! Best, Leonard Kara,
