I never claimed it to be your only source of food.

Then you responded to the wrong post. I'm talking about a sustaining garden for a family.

You are comparing a few alliums and no variety, to FULL nutritional intake. Conflating quaint 'additions' to a meal, to an actual calorie sustaining meal.

Are you the type of person that thinks each corn plant produces 20 ears of corn, when it reality it's 0.9 ears per plant? That's 384 sq in, or 2.6 sq ft PER EAR OF CORN.

I can eat 2 ears of corn for a meal. If you have a family of 4, that's 8 ears of corn, or 21 sq ft of garden for ONE MEAL. And then it's GONE.

Cauliflower, broccoli and other cruciferous plants are the exact same way. One harvest per plant per meal. Then it's GONE.

You can wipe out 8 sq ft of garden for a meal for 1 person. Don't know about you, but I eat 3x a day. That's almost 100 sq ft for a family of 4 per day! Or nearly an acre per year, for 4. I said an acre for 2, right? Food doesn't grow 365 days a year, so you have to double your yield to preserve some food for winter. And you don't get 100% yields. You have to account for loss.

So. If you want to SUSTAIN a family with a garden, you need exactly what I said. If you want to be some instagramming hipster with their sq ft garden, throwing an onion on the table twice a week, and the rest of the time, go to a grocery store, you can do it your way.

So don't spew that horse shit about needing equipment and acers of land to help feed yourself.

Do you not fucking understand the difference between feeding yourself and throwing a veg on the table a couple times a week, the rest of the time going to a grocery store?? You literally responded to a thread about sustaining with commentary about supplement. Then gaslit me, by saying my comment was false. GTFO.
