Raise your own damn food.

[chirParticipant]

Always liked raising plants and found out I had a green thumb early. Besides astronomy my other hobby I like to pursue is my garden. I have about a quarter acre I raise each year. Between dehydrating, pickling, storage and a little canning I can keep myself in food for the year. I save a f~~~ing fortune in food costs and take a smidge of pride in being able to feed my own ass. It also gives me the opportunity to give food to my relatives and I donate a lot to the food bank so they can give out food to needy families and homeless.

If you have a chance try it for yourself. Its fun work raising plants from seeds. I have started my seedlings in my greenhouse so I can plug them into the garden when the weather gets a tad better.

If you want to try your hand at it I would recommend this guy’s serse of books.

Good information. I have most of his books on my shelf.

But if you have no land to garden on or live in a cave. You can still have some fresh food.
Any of the Aero gardens can give you food year round.

I use one myself to raise herbs so I always have fresh herbs for cooking even in winter. Easier to reach over and grab a few leaves of basil than use prepackaged.

One thing with gardens. You need to address security from garden poachers…

Deer, rabbits, squirrels… and bears. Bears are bastards.

I now have an electrical wire running along my fence so if a bear pushes on it. Zap. Discourages them. Now if it was only legal to use cattle prods on rabid feminists… 🙂

And other resources you have? I’m going to be getting my own land in the next few years and after I get the living and shop worked out being more self sufficient is on my list. Right now I rent my shop, live in a 128 SF office and have no kitchen so I’ve got a few things to work out first but having the knowledge to get started is half the battle and should make getting rolling much easier.

The only plant I like to grow are my blueberry bushes. I love blueberries and I don’t like the prices on them. Although I did get a deal on a 2 pint at Aldi back in February. I got a 2 pint for $1.99 and they were the big berries and were firm.

I had 2 bushes but we had some terrible winters in Chicago the past few years and it killed one and it damaged the other. The first one all it does now is grow leaves, and the second one is dead. Too bad because the second one have me a lot of blueberries one day, but the next day the f~~~ing squirrels or chipmunks took all of them. Bastards! Now the first one is just hanging in there, and the second one is dead and looks like a few twigs. Damn nature!

My dad is the one who plants food and flowers and other gardening things by his pond in the backyard. I’m not much into outdoor stuff. I prefer things I can power on and tinker with.

There is this one flower I saw at a large garden at a war museum west of Chicago I liked a lot, but it didn’t have a label by it. It was so beautiful. It was royal blue with dark green leaves. I love blue next to green. The only flowers I like are blue ones.

This is how I’m going to justify a fully suppressed AR-15 to myself. Squirrel sniper. A buddy went dear hunting fully suppressed with subsonic rounds. The dear dropped the rest of them ran about 5 feet then stopped and looked at the dead one like “why were we running?”

5 inches of fresh snow fell this morning, my tomato plants are 12″ inches tall! They’re fed MG-Towers own special low salts index home made chemical compound plant food, made with human grade MPK (mono potassium phosphate) with 99.98 regent grade micro nutrients including cobalt (no heavy metal compounds) and MgSO4*7h20 (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate) not the cheap dihydrtate. I’m using a 9-13-26 grow formula, then I use a 10-30-20 flower to harvest the most nutritious veggies available MINE! I also use a brix meter with chemical soil tests to monitor plant health. I have the right balance for both osmotic pressure and PH longevity. My neighbor and I have planted fruit trees, peach, apple, and one scraggly pear tree that stubbornly hangs on (a MGTOW tree).

The chickens don’t like walking in the fresh snow, I’m also getting milk goats soon and will be making goat cheese with my neighbor, we get along like two shotgun shells together in a double barrel shotgun! Mutual respect!

I love my humble life, it’s peaceful and secluded thanks to the molestation of law order and equity. Lemons to lemonade! That’s what MGTOW DO!

Feed them peanutbutter decon b~~~~ in places only they can go! But don’t say you heard it from me! I would NEVER do something like that! What’s wrong sharing your own food source to breed a bunch of garden raiders? Mix it using the peanut butter to hold the blue pellets together, not the other way around.

My dad has traps that when sprung it does something to their heads. It either crushes it, or severs it. That bush that had all those blueberries that were stolen by the critters was the one that died by the extreme winters the last two winters, not counting this one. This winter was the way I prefer it. By the way, I always thought it was illegal to kill animals in the suburbs.

Speaking of weather and snow, nature was VERY confused here in Chicago yesterday. We had rain, high winds, hail, heavy snow, sun, thunder, and it did it over and over back and forth all day, going from one extreme to the next in just minutes. It would be snowing hard one minute, then 30 seconds later, the sun was fully out, and then a half hour later, it would snow or hail again, and then the sun would come out. The temperatures are the same confusion. It was cold yesterday on top of those extremes, and today it’s in the upper 60s, it’s suppose to be cold again tomorrow, then it’s going to warm up to give us thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday. So nature is having a tough time making up her mind lately. I know this is transition time, but I don’t remember nature going from one extreme to the next over and over, minutes apart.

I blame high schools for not offering an agricultural class to students or incorporating it into biology or planning or something. But the truth is society wants you to fail and f~~~ up so you have to depend on the government to save your ass. Society doesn’t want real men who can feed their families without the help of restaurants and groceries stores.

Besides what happens if theirs a food shortage, a war breaks out, or some kind of plant based virus. You gonna pay 15$ for a bunch of banana’s?

I live in an apartment and have no land to grow food but I’ve always wanted a plant to grow even like a herb like cilantro. Does anyone have any links to plants you can grow realistically in an apartment?

Welcome to the 21st century, we have designer plants.

I thought what I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes...or should I?
