“Good luck with feeding yourself from a small garden. But anyone that thinks they can grow their own food without acreage available is nuts!”
It’s not a choice between growing fresh food or buying stored long term food. Do both. A garden of any size is a fresh food addition to the stored long term food. Growing sprouts is another method of having fresh food to accompany long term stored food.
Heard a new term. Airponics knda like hydroponics but it without the soil. Simply spray the plant very frequently with water and fertilizer mix. Done right the growth rate is much faster then traditional soil.
