I thought about growing vegetables in order to better weather the coming crises which may be quite difficult, I thought about it a few months ago, but after learning how much I would have to learn, I thought, oh, all this information is spinning my head. Where should I start? What fertilizers to use, how not to overpay money and other resources? How to stretch soil fertility as long as possible and is it possible not to be physically exhausted in the process? Time is also running out.
Well, as a result, my brain subconsciously abandoned this idea, well, I was too used to a comfortable life and food from the supermarket. And so it has been for four months.
I know I’m pathetic. I haven’t even bought seeds yet.
For soil fertility, I recommend using the corpse(s) of an oligarch or two to enrich the soil (Human Composting). Would likely have to use some sort of anaerobic (no oxygen) composting set up so the right bacteria can get to work. This way you help solve the crisis, in part, and get some high quality soil.
Buuut that’s longer term stuff that will take a while to set up. There are still a bunch of veges you can plant; beets, swiss chard, arugala, lettuce, turnips, kale, spinach, probably a bunch of others. Go grab some of that stuff, dig out a plot in your yard (if no yard use pots) and stick 'em in there. Usually there’s instructions on the packet on how to and how deep to place the seeds, how often to water them, etc. The same information is easily found in so many places online also. Don’t worry about soil fertility this year. If you have enough space you could just dig another plot and use that one.
Best thing to do is to start small and learn how you want to do things. Planning out an entire self sustaining garden eco-system would be a lot, even for someone with a well-callused green thumb.
