Soil is expensive. When building new raised beds, place logs at the bottom to save money and improve water retention. It’s called “hugelkultur”. The logs act like water sponges ("water battery") during dry spells and they improve drainage.

The economy is about to go to shit. Get ready to work boys

Been on vacation all week. Just came home to all this good food growing. What’s your excuse?

City boy can survive

I love America because if you have a car, you can go anywhere. I’m in Gulf Shores Alabama right now. Taking my youngest daughter to the beach for the first time. Just saw a bald eagle in the wild 🦅 🇺🇸

Good morning from the beach! Trying to add some positivity and beauty to this website. Posting on X is valuable to those that use it. So for that reason, it’s worth it.

Walked out to the backyard coop and came back with breakfast. You can’t imagine how much money these corporations are making off your laziness.

My daughter’s rabbit was left unsupervised in the same room as my microgreens. I have evidence from the crime scene.

Just a normal day in my city backyard. Don’t let anyone stop you from growing your own food.

Gonna start growing spouts on my kitchen countertop. Sprouts can be ready for harvest in about 3-5 days while microgreens are ready in 1-2 weeks. Both sprouts and microgreens can be grown indoors.

My first time growing “microgreens”! Microgreens contain up to 40 times MORE nutrients than mature plants, can be grown indoors, and you can harvest them every 7 to 21 days.

Seriously, when is the last time you saw anything this green before? You can’t get food this fresh from stores or restaurants, you have to grow it yourself.

A backyard chicken typically lays about 200 to 300 eggs per year. With my 6 egg laying hens, I collect about 5-6 eggs every day. That’s about 12 eggs every 2 days! That’s enough for my family of 5 to eat healthy organic eggs every day for breakfast.

Fall lettuce is growing. I don’t buy lettuce anymore. Lettuce is a crop that you can easily grow in your backyard year-round… even in winter. You can’t buy lettuce this green in stores.

Waste nothing. Get a compost bin. Mow over the leaves in your yard, add both the leaves (brown carbon) and grass clippings (green nitrogen) to your compost pile. Make your own rich compost for your garden.

My account is for anyone who thinks they don’t have enough room, time, or money to grow their own food. My argument is simple: you have a backyard, use it.

Don’t wake up and check your phone. Wake up and check your lettuce. There’s something very rewarding and satisfying about growing your own food.

Real advice. I recommend putting a few raised beds close really close to your backdoor. Then you can grab fresh food like lettuce and herbs for cooking and dinner. If it’s too far away, you’re not gonna go grab it.
