START CORONA GARDEN THIS WEEKEND

Dude I've been watching gardening videos for the last days. I'm looking to make a dyi alternative to EarthBoxes.

>calories
It's about nutrients and vitamins, most of us in the West are fat as fuck and can survive for weeks to no ill effect but it's still important to get micronutrients.

been growing and canning (water bath/pressure can) my own fruit and veg since 2015.

even people living in a city can grow stuff, I used to grow lettuce, tomatoes, bok choy, garlic, etc all in pot plant buckets on my back step.

How did you learn? What books or websites would you recommend for beginners?

I cant plant yet. We get frosts into late April. Nothing is ready til late May or early june.

Botanist here, the two noob manuals I would recommend are carol deppe's the resilient gardener, and Steve Solomon's growing food in hard times

Our garden centers are still open in pa. Everything else is toast. I'm fuckin /comfy/.

Do you ever get powdery white mildew?

is this real?

imagine the smell

Lots of wood chips, user. Soaks up the shit and the smell. But you gotta go heavy on the chips.

In the past three weeks, I have planted:
Bell Peppers
Jalepenos
Eggplant
Garlic
Onions
Potatoes
Yellow Crookneck squash
Lima Beans
Green beans
Okra
Butternut squash

Thinking about tilling/sowing another 100sq ft or so in a semi-shaded area, but not sure what else I want to plant.

Use potassium bicarbonate or in a pinch sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and it goes away

It's not uncommon to keep young chickens inside temporarily. You don't want your chickens to die of hypothermia while they're young.

Imagine not having your own food supply

I would if my neighbor's tree wasn't full of squirrels.

We shouldve listened to michael ruppert

The resilient gardener. A book that tells you all about how to get the nutrients you require from just about 5 different crops from the farm or homestead.

Potatoes
Corn
Beans
Squash
Chickens

Yeah, fucking chickens. Chickens are not a plant. You don't plant a chicken seed. But they are still included in the book. This is because chickens give you eggs, they can till up your soil, they can be a pest controller, and they give you little balls of gold, right from their asses. Oh wait, that is manure, and it is like gold for your plants and your soil. And chickens really do shit quite a bit. So save up that chicken shit, let it age in teh hot sun for a while, then spread it across the top of your mulch layer. Alternatively, you can take the fresh shit and put it 1 part shit to 10 parts water. Let it sit a bit, stir, sit some more, then dump on the plants.

Your garlic is not going to get very big. But ok, grow it anyways. Next year you plant the garlic in the fall. late october. Then you have great big garlic come june.

Plant tomatoes with japs, basil, marigolds, and okra. They are all companions and help each other.

Plant buckwheat, sorghum, amaranth, and cowpeas all together. Add daikon radish to that mix if you can.

if you own property and you're not there already look for wild berries and learn what vegetation you can eat

About three weeks old and the chicken will be able to survive freezing temps. But he/she will need buddies. The chickens in that picture are older than three weeks, but he was an indoor farmer. Those are closer to 6 week, my guess. Maybe a cornish cross. i wonder if he butchers them right there too?

I got Some Seeds of COLOMBIA Special

That wood look treated. Are you trying to poison yourself?

Look into vertical container gardening, possibly hydroponics.

My greenhouse is going up this summer. I bought about 400 sq feet of hoop house from a defunct nursery for 50 bucks. Just need some good poly cover for it.

LED growlights.

There's still snow on the ground though

get your seeds started inside

Eating one meal a day is actually healthier.
Sucks, but it's healthier.

You can last a long time fasting.
Eating a little all day will actually make your situation worse. Without a lack of sugar, your body never goes into fasting mode.
No sweet drinks.
Water, tea, coffee, posca.

I'll be producing weed, tomatoes, peppers, maple syrup, herbs, potatoes, grain, wheat, corn, and rice. Hopefully my salvia and lotus seeds come in on time. Plus I have pdf's downloaded on how to make bourbon, whiskey, vodka, and mead.

My place up north will be a pinnacle of civilization if things collapse.

I have been blessed with many 44 digits the past two days thanks god

i don't have too. i have 50 chickens. No matter what you do they will congregate and shit up in front of the chicken coop. Turkeys are worse. One turkey can smell up as much as fifty chickens.

I've got these seeds started but I'm way to early. I'm in ND

I don't need my own food supply, Ontario has among the worlds best food supply chain systems

Still have a foot of snow on the ground where I live but otherwise, yeah. The wife and were going through our seeds earlier today.

Corn ain't easy.
You need a sizable, relatively dense plot for it to grow right.

Plus, you'll need a pellet rifle and a good flashlight for coon hunting.
Gamo makes a nice 10 round silenced model.

May He bless your labor.

Every spring. Still a little cold up here in MN though.

Its not impossible, just remember to freeze those coons it you aren't gonna prepare the hides immediately, come winter a pimp suit made of raccoon fur will be quite useful

No need. I live next to the sea.

Been raining for a week straight, can't plant shit right now

WHAT SHOULD I GROW IN THE UK

watched about canning on Youtube, did a lot reading then starting buying the stuff I needed.
sometimes on the tomatoes, but I use Yates Success (organic spray) works wonders.

I also, make sauce when too much produce, water bath seal it, sits on the shelf for years.

also, a dehydrator is the best thing to have. I use it for fruits, veg, beef jerky, and in the winter, i can be used for Bread raising.

Taters for bulk calories, and raise fowl

cold and wet: Plant Silver beet, Broccoli, baby spinach, all year lettuce, kale.

That's a terrible book, full of completely wrong information, as well as tons of political and random idiocy like constant "muh climate change" bullshit.
Put straw or wood chips down, inoculate it with lactic acid bacteria. Smell problem gone.
>staying awake all night every night for weeks instead of spending $20 on aluminum wire
You're dumb.

Oki!

Very nice m8. I am impressed you get a good seal reusing old jars and lids like that. I bought a cheap Aldi dehydrator it is a real pain in the arse everything dehydrates unevenly and I have to constantly be moving stuff around.

Got my seeds and magic dirt ready to roll, son!

Organic staple veggies and plenty to grow them in. Gonna start the seedling this weekend and grow them in my window sill until it get a little warmer outside.

Container Grown Potatoes
youtube.com/watch?v=dMrkIecqQL8

fast growing calorie crops?
waiting for winter squash seeds and sweet potato starts to come in the mail
in low desert so dunno what will survive the heat besides those two

Grow corn and peanuts.

My green house is popping right now, going to be an edible jungle in a few weeks.

Seconded, also look into tepiary beans

On to the three sisters. Corn, beans, and squash. PLant winter squash. Not summer squash. YOu can grow summers, but they don't store well. Winter squash can store for up to half a year or more. I have one hubbard squash that is now about 6 months old and still looks edible. PLant corn first. Then plant beans a week later. They will crawl up the corn. Don't do bush beans. They suck. Do dry beans, or pole beans. Finally plant a winter squash in the middle. The three sisters all compliment each other.
