Check out the "Back to Eden" documentary (not other videos "about" it) for some good info on making your garden much more productive and rewarding with less work.

Paul Gautschi is amazing human being. I've moved 3 giant loads of wood chips into my back yard over the past few months.

Chickens, rabbits, and fruit trees to come.

For you folks in cities with small areas to grow food, read the book square foot gardening, I grew great vegetable gardens in LA. I couldn't stand eating shite tomatoes so I went back to my WVA roots and grew my own. I left LA and now have acreage, grow all of my own veggies, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, turnips, strawberries, plums, apricots, apples, currents, Saskatoon berries, horseradish, 700 hundred head of garlic, 2 bee hives. Its awesome to harvest your own food Edit: we also have Chickens Hogs and are looking to have some head of cattle

It's fun and a LOT of work. One of the best things we did on our acreage was to put in a pool. We can garden around the pool. We have 5 large pots growing tomatoes around the pool and the strawberries and our Grandson is so into picking tomatoes and berries while he's at the pool. Too much fun. He's 6 and loves eating the tomatoes

I would love to put in a pool. So many summer days working the garden wishing I had one. I'm strapped for cash tho remodeling a legitimately crazy cat lady's 1900s house. I built a 2x4 tarp pool for myself on the 4th of july this year to drink beer in. Hahaha

Get weapons first. If things go dark, people will come after yours.

So just off them and take theirs.

The farmers are all Republicans. Not that you shouldn't garden, you should, but I don't think we have to worry about farmers not selling to us.

Until they try to take the farms and cause a famine with their incompetence.

I would love to get together and do a gardening.win

Homesteading and gardening. We could all get together and trade within our community and bypass the system. Plus share information

How does one acquire good seeds? Like not that monsanto tainted shit.

Heirloom. Unfortunately the plants are more susceptible to disease and pests. Try Dave's Garden online. Big community.

Look for a smaller seed company. Look for heirloom seeds. Also there is a large difference between hybrid seeds and GMO seeds.

All variety of seeds other than heirloom are technically generically modified. But hybrid is just genetic selections and plant breeding. Cross pollination as nature would do naturally just forced by a human hand. The scary GMO stuff is only corn and soybeans so far pretty much. In my semi educated opinion, the issue with GMO seeds is the ability to spray roundup all over the plants. That's what they genetically modified the plant to be able to withstand.

TLDR: Check out jonny seeds

A lot of the emergency food companies sell heirloom seed packs.

Buy or build "Earth Box" kits. Some cool hippies built these things. I grew like 20 lbs of hot peppers with 3 boxes this year. Was amazing.

Hunting. You hunt game in winter to supplement the veggie stores from summer.

I'm looking into winter sowing in empty milk and water jugs.

Start seeds in a south facing window or under lights.

If you can manage a greenhouse or hoop house tons of veggies need cool weather to grow. (Lettuce, kale, broccoli, radishes, onions, garlic just to name a few.)

Also learn to hunt and fish if you don't already, the land will provide you just need the skills to take advantage of it!
