How to Grow Your Own Produce in two and a half Years: A Revolution Disguised As Organic Gardening
It is possible to grow all our own food year-round with limited time and effort put into establishing a system. As petroleum becomes more expensive and the costs of produce rises, this model whispers subtle echoes of urban food security. A perennial forage system functions much like a natural ecological system, and yields year round produce with minimal work. After two years of developing this system, in the Maritime Northwest, Marisha has been eating fruits and vegetables primarily from the garden. Marisha provides most of her income from the garden and has surplus produce and crafts to give away and trade for other supplies.
