  1. I used to think like all of you here. Wanting to produce my own crops. Now to be honest i wouldnt be able to to it before SHTF. So i turned to GOD our father in heaven who says not to save food but to enjoy it. When all else fails like SHTF he will provide for his children. Does he not feed every kind of animal on the face of this earth without gardens. Trust in him and he will give you eternal life, which doesn't require food but requires obedience from him. Who here wants eternal life? Look for him ,he's waiting for you.

  2. Curtis, I have a problem and I wonder if you have gone through the same thing since you work with different yards and locations. My covercrop is infested with mealybugs in the root system, all over. I planted to control grass and prep the soil to start a no dig system, now is about time to do some maintenance and start planting, at least in Hawaii the winter gives me more peace than the summer. I dont know how to address it.
    The idea is to rent the lot across the street to grow food for the neighborhood but I realize now how our neighbors plants and bugs can affect drastically this journey of growing food… you of course probabky not only know this, but experienced too…

    I was aiming to mix covercrops, herbs and woodchip paths with no dig beds in the front yard… now I confused..
    I wonder if adding cardboard and mushroom compost then planting in raised beds…once an year add wood chips or more mushroom compost.. maybe some diatomaceous earth?

  3. Lol…interesting can't wait to see what you strip back next? The easiest way is probably best in a crisis…everyone out my way grows a garden and there very productive no market if everyone grows there own but bartering is nice with the locals.

  4. G'day from Northern Australia! You can get very cheap silage tarps from dairies that put up silage in bunks. Over the winter tarps will get ripped and have to be replaced. Grain farmers here use them to cover grain pits as well. The farmer has to do something with these damaged tarps. Depending on where the damage is you should be able to salvage decent pieces that would fit the size beds Curtis is doing. Sometimes you just need to think outside the box.

  5. People are too black-and-white about prepping. Yes, if it’s a mad max situation then we’re all screwed and there isn’t much you can do. But the far more likely scenario is a lack of diversity in food being shipped. Fresh produce is the MOST likely shortage, because it’s both highly perishable and is more difficult to ship (high weight and volume). In all but the worst mad max scenario, there would be government rationing that would supply most of our calories. Supplementing that with nutrient-dense veggies and/or something high in protein (like milk or eggs) is attainable by almost everyone (at least the veggies). And of course having the skills to help friends, family and neighbors is highly valuable as well. So yes, stock up on food so you can get through short-term disruptions. But long term build your skills, build your soil and most of all, connect with your neighbors. And thank you to our resident Urban Farmer for treating all of us like his neighbor!

  6. Function over form, this is where we need to be getting too. Sound and strong. We are trying to lease part of our land. Is there a website where Land Owners can find people like you Curtis? We are in the State of Florida. We need to network Urban Farm Land we people so we all benefit.

  7. What if you have no money to purchase the irrigation and greenhouses? I’ve been out of work for 7 months now just working on clearing my 30 acres to be able to grow next year. Do I need a greenhouse to start seeds in the spring?

  8. Hi Curtis, perhaps do a video about how to properly store the harvest, for example stop potateos from sprouting, and how to aviod other crops like carrots, corn, leeks etc to go bad over the Winter..
