      Not one life was saved by lockdowns, but many were lost. Dig into the topic. The conventional science pre-Covid. The results post-Covid. It's yet another power game - masks and lockdowns. You will be horrified if you read past the propaganda. There is a deep state and they're doing well. Search my threads.

      First, a shout out to the folks at Rodale, i.e. Organic Gardening. This TH-camr is good, but search That carbon footprint argument is SO bogus. Our garden was the major source of fresh vegetables when I was a kid and we had no money. One of my little sisters was severely hurt, and while she eventually recovered it was after dozens of surgeries. Zucchini for ease of growth and lettuce because greens are one of your most expensive purchases ( and garden lettuce tastes MUCH better) plus tomatoes just because heirloom tomatoes taste WAY better. These were the mainstays at the time in our small suburban garden. I did a lot of work in that garden, and have gardened ever since.
      I was going to give pointers until
      the second half of the video. I love the fact that he has used every technique I have to save money. I'll also add my two cents worth about that idiotic headline, and kudos to him for going further into the study.
      First, the claim that monoculture is more efficient, even when you add fertilizer and pesticides. Huh? My dad was a chemical engineer, and must be rolling in his grave. I guess that carbon footprint claim might work if you ignore the entire energy signature when building that friggin huge multistory manufacturing plant that takes up acres, while also ignoring the cost of any kind of toxic waste disposal and incineration (high temperature incineration is often the only way to dispose of some of the really toxic organics). Oh and what is the cost to cart away tons of contaminated soil after building a clay lined tomb for it, covering it with a supposedly impermeable cap, and monitoring all the area around it just in case that impermeable cap, or the clay liner, leak. You know, all those safe products like DDT, Lindane (used to control termites because It's the next best thing to a forever chemical until they realized it was f@cking up kids), Isotox (you used to be able to find a neurotoxin to spray on your vegetables), and Roundup. Look up "pesticide" and "adjuvants" too.
      I have trouble believing though that even if you just look at the feedstock and energy costs of fertilizer and pesticides that monocultures are more efficient. Here's why. Soil carbon. One of the newest scams being perpetrated by corporate farms is paying them for soil sequestration of carbon. Better known as compost.
      Why isn't there any carbon in that soil? Because it's much easier to simply keep dumping fertilizer on the soil until it is so worn that you reach the point of diminishing returns. Now they want to be paid to put carbon back in the soil.
      That's not carbon capture, that's remediation for all the carbon that was released due to terrible farming practices. I compost massively, and routinely when I can grab them get loads of wood chips when they are trimming trees. As they break down they turn into this wonderful black soil, or even better yet if you have areas your planning to start a garden in (and I have clay subsoil that had all the top soil scraped off when they built the house 40+ years ago) just till the wood chips about a foot or so deep, leave it raised up, and as the wood chips break down they had tons of carbon while hugely improving drainage. Grow some really deep rooted annual cover crops during that same time span, and in a couple of years it's wonderful to gardening. The only thing you've paid for is the rototiller (and a little bit of gasoline).
      Lastly, all that organic matter in the soil holds moisture. So when you get a dry spell you don't need to start watering your plants immediately. Except when you're involved in corporate agriculture where the soil has been abused so badly that it has very little water retention capability, so you need to irrigate it more. Which means you are pumping more water. Which is HIGHLY energy intensive.
      I have 8 rain barrels that I use to gather rainwater, both to water my acid-living plants, and also to raise dozens of Cope's Grey Tree Frog tadpoles in. My children ADORE the tree frogs. As an added bonus, when my daughter was little it turned out a mama gray fox had raised a litter in our brush pile. While I think the coyotes had killed her other kits, she still had one and brought it over to our koi pond to teach it to catch frogs. My then little girl and I just sat watching the mother and her kit for over half an hour. This by a child who was severely ADHD.
      After all the poisons were gone, instead of having to spray pesticides to keep all the beetle grubs out of the lawn, it turns out there's a kind of wasp that hunts the grubs and then takes them to a burrow where they feed her young. We have dozens of kinds of native bees. We also have t😢o remove black jumping spiders from our blackberries, blueberries, and elderberries when we harvest them. Who needs pesticides when you have an army of little ADHD critters eating every aphid and fruit fly they can catch, and eating the stink bug eggs that they find on anything (It turns out jumping spiders ADORE stink bug eggs). Have I mentioned birds? This is already rambled on too long.

I remember seeing all the pictures and videos of people in stores like Walmart that could go all over the store, except the garden department. They closed off the area with pallets, caution tape and sometimes an employee standing guard telling you that you couldn't enter that area under governor's order. If memory serves, the worst offender was the Michigan governor Whitmer...same state where this "study" and article stems from.

    We have a public broadcaster television series called "Landline"
    A few years ago they did a great story about a Queensland banana farmer who was doing conventional mono farming. He discovered he was having to spend more and more on pesticides. For some reason, (maybe illness, can't remember) he let the weeds grow between the trees. Pretty soon he saw a miraculous change in his crops - no more insect attacks. The "weeds" were bringing in beneficial insects and birds and insect eating animals. No more need for expensive insecticides. The ground cover also worked like a mulch so less watering. The farmer went further and diversified his crops and they all benefited from each other. Blessings, Eunice, Australia 🇦🇺

      Farming down with monoculture, genetically modified seeds and harsh pesticides and herbicides has been targeted for decades as it disrupts the local biomes and poisons the soils. We are talking Monsanto owned and facilitated.
      The headlines about farmers rising up was a push by the current right wing party in Germany to use fear and propaganda to say that the common working man is being put upon.
      Corporate run farms, Monsanto, etc., are not the common man.

      Revelation is about the Emperor Nero. It's an irrelevant political screed. The gnostics were right. The serpent in the garden was god. The "god" character in the garden story is nothing more than a malevolent demiurge. A murderous entity with the emotional intelligence of a toddler. Lucifer is the true god. Just look at what god does compared to the alleged adversary. In the Bible Satan is accused of ~10 killings, while the guy portrayed as the good guy, god, kills EVERYONE in a flood, except for a seafaring zookeeper and his family who allegedly repopulated the planet with incest. Then he continues to kill everyone after making them suffer. If they don't follow his ancient, edited to death, impenetrable instruction manual, he kills you and then tortures you for all eternity, because he loves you so much.
      There's so much in the Bible that directly demonstrates that the god character is the bad guy. There's slavery and killing children for disobeying you, and approval of rape... but of course there is. God created man and woman using magic, but when it was time for him to turn himself into his son so he could come to earth, to enact the longest running guilt trip of all time.... he impregnated a little girl instead of using magic. I wonder why. Mysterious ways, or a way to allow sexual assault by priests and other higher ups in the church?@@TheGr8erPurpose

      Answer it was all in the atmoshpere. Plants turned it into hydrocarbons. Animals ate the plants. Animals and plants died and got buried.
      If carbon dioxide was such an evil the earth would have been destroyed back then before thr carbon got made into fossil fuels wouldnt it?

      For example, if we can not grow our own food in our own gardens any more we are doomed to starve in a man-made scenario like the poisoning of our soil. That would be equal to poison our drinking water and destroying our God given water sources.

Totally agree; it’s shocking and sad when dirty politics make their way into our back yards! It’s so good for people and our earth to grow our own sustainable gardens🌿. I really wish there was more focus in the world on global Earth restoration (as David Attenborough puts it rewilding the Earth). Rewilding is being embraced by many and I’m excited for its future growth🌿.
    It’s sad that some companies want to profit on discouraging people from gardening and using terminology like the kind you addressed in this video. I’m grateful for people like yourself for standing up against this. Crazy enough, there are even companies copywriting remediation methods that help clean up our earth, keeping the profits and power in their hands on tools they really should be openly sharing to help the Earth, if that is indeed what they are trying to do. I highly love and recommend a book called ‘Earth Repair’ by Leila Darwish. I truly believe that each of us can help our Earth and fight global warming one plant at a time, no matter how few or how many plants we take care of or whichever way we feel like contributing; everyone’s efforts help out.

There are some vegetable growers that pump CO2 into the greenhouse with levels as high as 800 to 1000 ppm. If you grow your own food it is more difficult to poison YOU!

      Yes, we can agree that we disagree ❤

      When there are people who can't disagree without wanting you to die screaming, civilized people want those people to just not wake up. Stop being naive- the people behind these studies want you dead if you don't obey perfectly.

    Thank you for bringing this issue to an audience that might not be aware of what's happening across the world. There are people in power who are making bold moves to control the global food supply chain. Farmers all over the UK are protesting as governments limit their right to grow food. You won't find this in mainstream media news and a Google search probably won't be helpful but there are lots of TH-cam channels with stories on this issue.

      Yes I've been following the Europe riots. Main stream media in the states is completely hiding this information from the citizens so they don't get ideas and jump onboard. The whole trying to control home gardening is to make everyone dependent on store bought groceries which is completely insane

      I can easily find it on various news sources, so quit the "suppression" claims. Also, the actual study mentioned does NOT tell us to stop backyard gardening, although those misinterpreting it in their own articles should be suspect. See my comment that starts its own thread.

      Farmers in Scandinavia are also having problems with their government trying to contra food production. Not backyard gardens, FARMS! Don’t be foolish, this is a major threat to anyone who eats.

      Actually, The Pleb Reporter, a Canadian channel, has been reporting on the farmer's protests.
      And it isn't in just the UK, it's all over Europe, from France to Romania.
      On top of that, Sweden and Ireland are also protesting state-run media.

      ​@@isaiahwelch8066 I wonder why this is happening and at such a large scale? Do you happen to have some info (links) on it, by any chance, please? Thank you.

    I’m on a very low income.
    I’ve made my garden beds from junk lying around the yard left by previous tenants.
    A lot of people use recycled materials for home gardening. Old pots, bathtubs, pallets, tyres ….

    *I had seen a article that said that "California governor was thinking about banning back home gardens" our family hasn't planted for about a year due to neighborhood dogs and cats but it's should be a wake up call to gardening community to share videos like this in the masses to overcome the lies these false articles are sharing*

      Please either link the article or video in which Gov. Newsom stated this. I looked and found nothing. I may be mistaken or you may be spreading false information. The study in the video is from Michigan.

      Can you imagine someone coming to your home and your property and telling you that you can't have a garden there? I think i'd react violently.

    NEVER FORGET that both the state and big business have a vested interest in keeping all of us dependent on THEM. When anyone is dependent on others for any of their crucial needs, you're entirely subject to THEIR dictates. ANY relationship with a wide power imbalance is unhealthy for both parties. We have such an amazingly beautiful world. Gardening allows each of us to more thoroughly participate in the act of building something that beneficially contributes to each other and our planet.
