Good morning to you two!

The earthbox guy is kind of a local fixture around the Tampa area. He stumbled upon an amazing concept, since copied and elaborated upon by others.

I was recently watching some financial vids on Youtube from Jim Rogers, a billionaire investor. He says he’s currently putting lots of money into agriculture stocks- claims the next few years are a gold mine for them. What does that say about our food supply?

Growing our own veggies might become commonplace, much like Switzerland. Seems as if every house has a small garden or a little livestock operation. It’s just part of their national security plan, ingrained into their culture.

That was the whole point of breeding those mini cattle too. It is suppose to be for suburban homes for milk.

By this time next year, if things go right, I will be 100% sufficient produce wise.

Now, if I can convince my husband to allow us to have a nubian! :)

Good idea, it is time for America to do the same.

On this thread, maybe in the first 500 posts are several links to instructions, for making an Earthbox, at home for about
$10.00, looks simple and I have read several groups that talked of using them and approve of them.

LOL, In Kingman a few years ago, a man perfected the art of buying a bag of potting mix, poking holes in it, with it flat on the ground and growing in the bag, he was all over the internet and earlier in garden magazines.

You have to admit, it is cheaper than buying a pot to grow in.

I love the different ideas they have for growing food and tilt my hat to some who are growing food on roof tops, patios, etc.
