  1. I see by the date you posted this that it was right about the time the economy was being shut down because of COVID-19. I'm sure your garden minimized the effect of it on your life and feeling of security.

  2. My grandparents had a root cellar and grandmother canned for year-'round food. But she always had the latest DOA canning tables and the pressure gauge on her large canner was always calibrated by the state extension service each year. I worry about newcomers to "food independence" who attempt home canning without enough correct info. The results can be very deadly unless the correct steps are followed precisely. Fermenting and pickling using crocks with lead glazes is a serious issue, too.

  3. I think you missed a point Huw. Supermarket veg tastes rubbish! No taste or goodness. I have just started growing my own and am amazed by how good it tastes. It's fantastic. I feel better for it as well.

  4. Thank you very much for all the knowledge and experience transmitted. It would really be very useful if there were subtitles in Spanish. Many people lose the possibility of learning from these videos. Thanks again

  5. 'If you're a lazy gardener, like me' …? Ha! You're anything but Lazy. INSPIRING. EDUCATOR. Even a PSYCHOLOGIST. Oh, and a terrific Gardening Expert. Thank you much from Oklahoma.

  6. For the ‘younger’ gardeners, another idea for motivating self sufficiency came from another gardening channel who was doing an ‘apocalypse’ challenge.
    Basically, he and other channels would only eat food from their own gardens, local foraging or trade from others in the challenge, as if they were the only sources of food for a month.

    It makes a game out of a very mundane process

  7. ok so here's my thing. I have a 28ft wide by 75ft long back garden, or should i say, blackberry vine jungle with lots and lots of think long clumpy weedy grass. i have asthma, copd and carpal tunnel syndrome and the docs say i have more scaring on my lungs than a 75 year old smoker (im only 43! and no i dont smoke!) oh i am also waiting for a possible Ostio arthritus diagnosis in my right knee and some of my fingers on both hands, my hubby, god bless him, works all the hours god sends just to keep our chins above the water. so i decided to start my own home business from a 'she' shed lol but first i have to tackle the back garden, so because of my health conditions, i got several gardening services to come and give me a quote to cut down and removed the over grown blackberry bramble bushes (not planted by me!) and the awful grass and remove said cuttings, the cheapest quote was 650 quid because it will apparantly take 3 full grown men 1 whole day to do the brambles alone not including the grass. My dreams died, until a stuborn streak enterd my being. I donned my wellies, coat, gloves and hat and went straight for the big guns (my brush cutter) and i attacked the brambles. 2 hours later they were no more! 😀 unfortunatly that layed me up in bed for the last 3 weeks, but it was woth it! soon as im back on my feet i will be back out again only this time to attack the grass. My plan is to put my shed at the back of my garden, then have a area for growing some of my own fruit n veg (if the prepping dont kill me first! lol) then a small grassy area for my pet runs and a small patio where i will eventually be able to access with a wheelchair when the time comes. This is such a big project and i must admit i'm almost scared off from tackling it as i dont know what to do for the best when it comes to managing the project. any advise would be greatfully taken on bord 🙂
