Exactly. Thats why Im thinking about how to maximize area utilization, maybe with multiple “shelves” (gotta be careful with enough sun exposure though, though some plants dont need so much as others), also considering hydroponics.. aquaponics..
Depends on a lot of factors including soil, irrigation, experience, etc. For general planning I would say at least an acre. Some one I’m sure will come along and say how they read that 2 little raised beds will grow all their food. That’s how you’ll know that they haven’t actually done that!!! Remember you are growing enough to eat fresh now AND to put up for the REST OF THE YEAR, like the pioneers did. This is more than just have a few cutesy tomatoes to show off to friends….
How much terrain would be required to generate enough supply for 1 person for a year? And would that raise linearly, I mean, 2 people would require double of that.. or by the time you have to support 100 people its just about the same area of terrain as, say, 90? Thanks!
EAT PEOPLE!
It’s so good of you to remind people of the reality of “just planting some corn and beans.” When we lived up north gardening was a lot easier, but here in Florida we really struggle to grow everything. Even seeds in storage won’t necessarily grow the next year, so you even have to consider seed storage. And we have to garden year round because there’s no “cold” storage. Thanks for the videos–you’re doing a really great job!
Great video. I wouldn’t worry to much about fertilizer though. I’m sure Monsanto doesn’t want anyone to know but human urine contains nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous. Dilute it 1:10 with water and you have the worlds cheapest liquid fertilizer. Sounds kind of weird, I know, but it works. Self Sustaining communities do this all the time.
I have grown corn for years,if u can get a garden hose to your corn,WATER LIKE CRAZY;IT WILL GROW LIKE CRAZY
I thought potato chip bags came off of Doritos trees?
We’re growing all our own food next year (hopefully) but we live in the country so it’s pretty easy, it’s our life. Some town folk moved into our neck of the woods recently and me and my wife went over to greet them. They were busy planting cheeseburger trees, cans of soda, and rows of potato chip bags and wanted to know if they picked the best spots. My wife said to them, “You’ll need to rotate those crops every year or else you’ll end up with junk food!” Har har hardy har har har har!!!!

Well on the later videos they are higher quality, and it only takes 3 hours of my time babysitting it while it uploads to youtube!
very nice video with great information, I wish the quality was better though
You can also “hide” food amongst weeds, I think that was the jist of what I was saying. Are you referring to the asparagus growing amongst the weeds? Thanks for the nice comments.
A quick thought, you were talking about not pulling these so called “weeds”, but you didnt mention that a lot of those plants that grow there are also edible plants and herbs.
great video.
peace
Thanks.
Love DOES surround me- 1 John 4:8
No problem, you like the “multimedia” effects huh? Spielberg is jealous of us…. LOL
Tnanks for the rainbird sprinkler sound effects. Seriously I didnt know what that type of sprinkler was till you made the sound. lol. Very effective
You said “what is required is A TON OF LEARNING and PROPER PREPARATION….”
Is this not what I was saying in the vids? You see there’s a school of thought that gardening and raising food is a “piece of cake.” However most people that think that don’t actually place any effort into “a ton of learning and proper preparation.”
We are essentially saying the same thing. It’s not “pessimistic” it was designed as a wakeup call to the dreamers that think it will be easy to raise ALL your own food. SR
we raise meat rabbits. have about 20 does and 3 bucks. rabbit is fantastic meat. their droppings are the fertelizer in the fall for the next season
Thanks
This is going to sound awful but as a constant source of meat consider buying two sets of male and female rabbits. When the going gets tough and food becomes scarce, allow them to breed and eat the offspring. We have three rabbits, 2 female 1 male and are about to get another male. It sounds horrid I know, but if you’re feeding them yourself (part of our garden crop’s specifically for keeping them fed & healthy) then u know the meat’s clean, GE free & they r a low maintanence high yield “crop”.
I agree, and a hard crop for most to grow successfully. We had our FIRST good stand of corn this year- first out of about 5 attempts!!
Corn is a high maintainence, and in comparison to other crops, low yields for the amount of food you can get from it. Other crops are way better to grow.
Cow manure isn’t overly high in nitrogen. If your determined to only use cow manure for the corn, I would use VERY LIBERAL amounts before planting, at about 4 weeks after planting and again when tassles form. I tried corn organically and got some really small, measlely ears. Tried the same seed but fertilized with commercial 34-0-0 and got that nice looking stand that’s in the videos. I’m NOT against organic, I just realize the LIMITATIONS of it for MY soil type. Good luck!
Hey :3 Question on corn, because I was planning on trying some this growing season- we raise plenty of cattle and usually scoop le poop and bag it for fertiliser(About 200 head of cattle- so we have an ample supply). We generally harvest about fifty pounds of fertiliser a week- so with twenty five pounds of fertiliser a week for corn, how many pounds of seed do you think that could support? I’m going to rotate crops, obviously, but I want to give corn a shot this year. Any suggestions?
