Such good advice. Here in suburban Brisbane (Australia), over the past year we have harvested 110kg of assorted fruit and veg from our backyard. No fossil fuels, no plastic, no chemicals. And I’m just a schmuck guitarist, not a farmer.

Thank you.That’s pretty amazing.

Great New Years resolution! Buy fresh, local, and cut back on overall spending.

If there’s ever a time… I’ve cut back on my spending.

No one needs lawns!

Great idea! We did this back in 2017 when the big orange turd was in office. We have a front small yard. Took most of it & amended the soil & started growing veggies. It doesn’t take a huge space. Just pulled the last of the summer carrots & cut the rest of the arugula. Herbs are easy too!

Brilliant. It doesn’t take a lot of space or time. So worth it.

I have done container gardening for years. Much easier than putting them in the ground. I usually get 10 lbs of potatoes per pot. Carrots, onions, cabbages, tomatoes, peppers, etc.

True. Great yield.

Invest in non GMO seeds so you can collect your seeds for the following year (GMO plants have seeds that don’t produce plants.). I just ordered seeds from https://www.rareseeds.com.
