It's been, how shall we say? It's been a steep learning curve. So far it's been unproductive. I suspect my soil has a lot to do with it and it's an area I'm working on. Chop and drop is very sound strategy for the future. <br /><br />My soil fertility is coming on with compost, worm farm and bokashi. I get veggies for my compost from the fruit and veg shop. I could get a lot but I'm lazy (efficient?

Well the article said that they sold the grain and turned them into student accommodation. <br /><br />Maybe students are on the menu?Dingonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-72588323997914876432019-12-25T09:58:23.946-08:002019-12-25T09:58:23.946-08:00Thank you for expanding.

I am confused. I don't think that I am carrying water for the Catholic Church here, but the church's official position is against birth control--and it is widely ignored around the globe. If Catholics didn't engage in birth control, there would be a helluva lot more Christians around the globe. Would the Irish rule the world?Survivormann99https://www.blogger.com/profile/07446145435315604776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-90699223963888759242019-12-25T08:03:52.444-08:002019-12-25T08:03:52.444-08:00Merry Christmas back at ya Jim.

Hope all is hunky dory with you and yours.<br /><br />I would just like a few more reasons why someone would like to have that deep, deep larder.<br /><br />When a die off develops, people are going to scrounge for anything that resembles a grocery store item. Tomatoes and watermelons aren't going to stand a chance. Root crops like beets, carrots and potatoes might, if not grown in rows, but scattered in plots. Either way, tending crops will you a target, so skipping that year probably would be prudent. At best, you will just chop and drop whatever is growing there to give you better fire lanes and to improve fertility for the following year. <br /><br />Insect populations will explode after the common use of pesticides stop. This will also be a good reason to skip the first year and maybe the second, until that stabilizes. <br /><br />You mentioned the learning curve, but soil conditioning is a factor too. Even if you strictly permaculture, it takes time for the adjustments to work, figure 3 to 5 years. Wrenchr2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03970779022776650104noreply@blogger.com
