Government researchers and university scientists are warning that a massive food crisis is happening. The worst drought in 1200 years will lead to shortages of cotton, soybean, corn, beets, garlic, and onion in the United States of America.

Here in Australia Garlic already sells from $40 to $50 a kg. Onions are cheap but. around the $2 to $3 mark a kg.
3 garlic bulb cloves yields around 20 garlic plants. Each of those garlic plants yields garlic bulbs.

A few dollars seed, time and effort can grow most herbs, many of which can be perennial.

Onions from seed take a longer time to grow, but grow they will --- in tubs, flower pots, etc. Onions sets grow quicker.

Same for most Veggies.

Use open pollinated plants and harvest your own seeds and you can grow a whole lot of your own food.

WATER WARS: Manufactured Drought to cause Food Shortages, Climate Totalitarianism

The WATER WARS have begun: the state is simply turning off the water to farms & ranches, depriving them of water needed to grow food and raise animals. This will create food shortages by design, in order to then point at the massive problem and declare, "It's global warming! We NEED climate lockdowns! We MUST move to absolute zero carbon emissions! We HAVE to take away private ownership of cars! You HAVE to eat fake meat and move to post-animal economy!" The story is the same across the nation, and indeed the world. But who is behind these WATER WARS? Christian explores the WEF's "Global Water Initiative," an agenda to centralize and privatize control over the world's water supply, and how these engineered droughts are the lynchpin in the climate agenda and the takeover of food.

Probably one can still buy food cheaper at the shops than growing ones own.

A lot of us do not have great soil and go towards raised beds. These are not cheap in general. Fertilizer is costly also.

However one only has to look to somewhere like Venezuela where even a months wages in a government job won't get / buy you a whole hamburger at someplace like MacDonald's.

One tends to say that buying some stuff for the garden now is not worth it. Soon our wages will not buy what we need. So one needs everything in place at least to depend on ones garden foe one's food needs. Chickens are needed to process waste scraps into protein to keep you going.

Don't be a total idiot like the man from "Full Spectrum Surviva" He thinks the produce store will be open to supply all his stock food needs at a. reasonable cost

If you don't grow itthen you don't have it.

“After two years of dry conditions, both California and Nevada are now 100% in drought. And with dire conditions, rapidly decreasing snowpack, and low reservoir levels, concern for wildfire season is growing.” That’s a direct quote from Drought.gov yet almost everyone is ignoring a situation that could very well shock both the economy and the American consumer. After seeing this ZeroHedge article posted a couple of days ago, I was convinced this story was more about fear-mongering than anything else BUT upon further research, it seems to me that the American media is ignoring a massive problem developing in the West and Midwest. In today’s video, we explore the facts behind this growing concern. A serious drought in the United States not seen since the Great Depression and Dust Bowl is set to cause a shocking food shortage and shake up the already unstable economy.

And some of us are lucky and have access to cow and rabbit manure. South of us on our road we have a friend that grows show rabbits. He gives us all the composted (and fresh) rabbit manure we want. My daughters BIL has a feed lot and we get trailer loads of year old cow sh*t every fall to put on the main gardens.

You are dead right though, all to many don't have such luck.

You can make up tubs of different sizes using a few bags of soil and if you freshen it each season, use it for many years. Keep the lids and put them back on the tubs after growing season. You can get two crops of green beans, each with two pickings a year. Or a crop of storage onions, or...... etc...

Be sure to drill drain holes about 2 inches up each side to allow the drainage of excess water. The prices shown are from this morning and I get tubs cheaper than that when they are on sale. Just make sure to get BPH FREE tubs!

I use several different sizes and have grown everything from green beans, peppers, onions, lettuce, and even melons by training the runners to go free into a flower bed.

Want to really improve those tubs for growing, and save a lot of potting soil? Try making Earthbound "clones". They work really well...

Neither here nor there.
Market to Market where you can read the weekly reports. This weeks guest analyst looked like he was going to break out into tears when they started discussing the current cattle market. Remember last years ranchers culled a lot of calves because they were unable to get to to slaughter due to the packing houses being shut down. This guy makes it clear that what we are seeing in the grocery stores in no way reflects the current cattle market, there are going to be some shortages coming down the road.

We get marinated steak tips at a local shop about once a month or so. Last month they were 14.99/lb. This month 20.99. We came home with chicken. I think last year they were 10.99.

I've used this on the raised beds and one planter but never have on a tub. Good thing to see how it works on tubs. I'll have to try it.

On the raised beds with the water storage, I still keep newly planted seeds damp with a mister until they start and get decent roots.

The overflow on this on is in the back and it is a pain to try to watch the overflow tube while filling. The later ones we built have the tube on the opposite side from the filler tubes, but the clear hose comes out to the front where I can see them.

Off a DYI site on the internet, don't remember which one. These were a copy of a kit you can buy, but their expensive. Google DYI raised beds, there are hundreds of designs and videos.
