"Cardboard would be good. Actually, this past year, I flattened out old cardboard boxes that I’d collected and put them down around my tomatoes primarily, and then put pine needle* mulch on top of the cardboard. I had the “cleanest” garden EVER ... the only weed growth I got was right around the plant stalks where there was a slight gap in the cardboard ... just little small stuff that I removed when I saw it"

Sounds good. Final question though is what zone are you in? Here in MA active composting is limited to about 5 months.

"Hopefully this will mean more people composting and adding food gardens to their yards to combat some of this inflation. It might also have people think twice about the foods they buy, and they just might learn to cook from scratch or - Heaven Forfend! - learn to bake a loaf of bread. Every step you can take towards greater self-sufficiency the BETTER, IMHO. And if you haven’t figured it out by now, Mother Government is NOT your friend... ...but, Mother Nature is! :"

"Breadbasket Of World" Choked Off By Russian Invasion As Wheat Prices Soar

Lower crop yields for sure, that also means no surplus food to send overseas. Africa, for example, will starve. They are incapable of growing food for themselves, yet have the land to do it.

I keep hearing about rising obesity and I also hear about our starving children.

Of course that’s what I continually hear from our govt.

I usually order just the sandwich, no fries or drink.

What all this is telling me is that it is not that we won’t be able to afford an item(s), it will be that there will be no item(s) to buy.

If the entire world relied on what they deceptively call “organic” farming (all food is organic, regardless how it was produced, else we couldn’t derive nourishment from it), we already would be experiencing widespread famine. The only way we can produce enough food to feed soon to be 8 billion people from what arable land the planet has is with factory-made, petroleum-based nitrate fertilizers.

Hi Wayne - I remember 1964 too, here is some info...

$1 in 1964 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $9.07 today, an increase of $8.07 over 58 years.
