HurryUpAndDrink Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Having your own garden is a basic progression with the current political landscape Well done... Whoever has the space and time to do this and isnt is hands down being a tard The next step is chickens, rabbits, pigs... You sell meat to locals - then buy cows and horses... You slice yourself off the grid, wont even need gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it simple. 5 gallon plastic buckets, one per tomato plant. Direct sun, water daily. Use cages. Tomatoes are so easy to grow yet they're expensive to buy.
