Don't get caught in complicated systems and don't overthink. You can grow a good garden and feed yourself. Here are the mistakes to avoid!
I wanted a garden but could not do all the physical labor to make, plant, and weed inground gardens. So I am a container gardening. I do this alone at 73 yrs and it does help with the groceries. I know it will never feed us completely, but do what I can. One kale plant can feed us all summer. 3 spinach plants I can put some in the freezer, etc.
Tremendous respect for anyone who admits salad greens do not make a person feel "full"....
All the compost "do's and don'ts" AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!! Literally I just throw everything in the same spot and let it do its thing. Meat scraps, food that's gone bad in the back of the fridge, moldy Halloween pumpkins, tea dregs, EVERYTHING!! I've had pumpkin vines and bell peppers and broccoli and avocados and tomatoes and squash and watermelon grow on their own in abundance right from the loose whatever-compost pile!! There are NO rules for compost! It's literally nature doing its thing how its supposed to do it. Just beautiful.
My dad was a big ole corn fed North Texas farm boy. His family practiced dry land farming because irrigation wasn't possible for the average farmer back during the Great Depression. He said that the farming method they used was called the Three Ps... Plow, Plant, Pray... They used mules to pull the plow. They grew sugar cane and peanuts as cash crops. They grew potatoes and corn as calorie crops. They raised hogs for meat. The mom and sisters raised the kitchen garden. The dad and the boys raised the farm crops. A pretty fair division of family labor. The sugar cane was pressed by itenerant cane processers on the halves. The farmer raised and harvested the crop, the processers pressed the juice from the canes. The squeezed canes were then chopped up into sweet fodder for the livestock. They had a milk cow and chickens in addition to the hogs, mules and horses. Nothing went to waste. They weren't rich but they never had to line up at a soup kitchen like so many people had to do during the Great Depression.
It's impressive how much you've got out of that terrible looking soil. I guess that's the benefit of understanding fundamentals vs complicated systems.
Amen amen amen. We totally agree. I’ve composted for 26 years. Always had to laugh at all those that make God’s process difficult. I’ve never worried about any hard/fast rules & formulas but always had great success. Thanks as always for a great video.
Oh my gosh I nearly spit my drink out "Don't take my potatoes coppers!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you’re gonna grow and eat rabbit food, you might as well grow a rabbit and then eat it 😜
"Apocalypse French Fries" sounds like a great song title. Incredible and informative video; thanks for putting this out. Super pumped about getting calories in the ground. We harvested darn near 100 pounds of sweet potatoes the other day and it was a large sight more satisfying than harvesting arugula.
I’ve been complaining that my husband wants to garden like his grandpa did. Lol!
I homeschool and most of his schooling is learning about growing foods, learning what to forage, how to cook from scratch on a fire, herbal remedies, and animals 😊 for history were reading a wonderful book I paid like $2-3 for at thriftbooks called, Children of the West.
"Old fashioned" lasted so long (even now days with commercial gardening) because it was effective.
I resisted raised beds at first, but it's what I'm going with for now, for a few reasons:
Thirty years ago, I purchased two standard Jonathan apple saplings from a catalog. When an early frost doesn't get the blossoms, I get a nice crop of apples from those two trees. For many years, I've grown tomatoes, not for a huge supply, canned in jars. I grow them simply because they taste better on a B.L.T. sandwich than any tomato from the grocery store. Two years ago, I grew potatoes. I wanted to know how to grow them. I harvested ten pounds of potatoes that Fall. The growing season is short here in Northern Michigan.

2 years ago I planted chestnut trees as my calorie crop. I read in "Trees of Power" that they're quite reliable. While I'm waiting on those I plant potatoes and well.. maybe I'll keep planting potatoes after the chestnuts are cranking just because I also could eat french fries through the apocolypse haha.
From Australia Thank you David for your down to earth practical info .You guys are truly a gift to the world in these perilous times. It's like you were born for this!
Your wife is right about the compost. Struggled for years, got your book, said p"SS on it and worked like a charm. Enjoying great compost for my little gardens this year. Thank You 🙏 and HMD over and over and over and over.........
I love a good back to basics video. One additional thing, is that back in the day, our grandparents didn't have as much trouble with pests, since they shot and ate every groundhog, deer, and rabbit that they could. But these days we're completely over run by hungry critters, so in my opinion, a new gardener's number one priority should be a fence.
