Planting a few perennials on your property is one of the best things you can do for preparedness. A war can last YEARS and then rationing can continue for YEARS thereafter. The UK had food rationing well into the 1950's!>BUT THAT SPECIFIC EXAMPLE YOU POSTED ISN'T GOOD FOR MY CLIMATEThen plant things that DO grow in your climate, you fucking retard. Post your hardiness zone and people will give you all sorts of options.
>>533451895 food rationing so bad they got addicted to Heinz beans
>BUT I CAN BUY FOOD AT THE STOOOOOOORE!If it's available.When was the last time you saw a crate of honeyberries at the store?What about saskatoon berries?No?Maybe your store had a bunch of jostaberries for sale? Still no?Maybe the grocery store isn't the be-all-end-all of food selections?
>I'LL JUST TAKE YOUR FOOD FROM YOU INSTEAD!You'll be shot and turned into fertilizer.You can't tourniquet a taint.
>>533451895It’s a good thing to do. I’ve been working on transitioning my land to a food forest. I’ll add some of my selected crops. I picked these for hardiness and low maintenance in my area. Apios americana (Indian potato)Jerusalem artichokeGoji berriesCanna edula Himalayan blackberryAsiloma triloba (pawpaw aka hillbilly banana)American hazelnut (variety of species)Wild plums (Chickasaw or similar)
>>533454426How are fresh goji berries? I've only had the dry ones.
>>533452253Maybe I’ll buy myself a baked bean plant so I can enjoy them all year round. Pick the beans themselves, then I presume the bean juice is secreted from the leaves so you scrape it up and collect it.
>>533454578A bit tomato-y, but they grow nearly without any intervention and are like 10% protein by weight. Hard to turn down for a resilience garden
>>533454844The dry ones are fucking great, so I'll probably just do that. They're definitely on my list, since they grow in my climate.
>>533454789You're an animal!
I'm in a Mediterranean climate, but the summers here reach 100+ degrees. 90+ for like 3 weeks minimum which tends to burn my tomatoes. What do?I was thinking of covering them up to provide some shade, but heat will still be brutal.
>>533455634Plant some trees that give a good amount of shade nearby.
>>53345189510a but still get 45mph cold fronts in the winter
>>533456248Citrus, macadamia, avocado, guava, cherimoya, carob, papaya, mango, jackfruit... maybe even breadfruit.
>>533455634cover them with fine netting, even 2 layers at a slant.. Great for too much sun and hail too
>>533456779This is also a good short term option
>>533451895>Then plant things that DO grow in your climate, you fucking retard.Nettle?Eating that would get boring after a while.
>>533457754Milarepa sat in a cave for 9 years eating nothing but nettle soup and shrubs till he turned green, pussy.
>>533457754Apples, cherries, plums, honeyberry, cloudberries... lots of things survive down to zone 3. Some even zone 2.
>>533451895What fucking property nigga
>>533454426How do you prepare Apios americana and fartichokes?
>>533451895Hello sir this is the government. Thank you for working so hard to grow this food well be requisitioning it and redistributing it in accordance with the food rationing regulations. Have a good day sir.
bump. very good thread
>>533458752See:>>533452560
>>533458464Do you have any friends or family with property?
got zapped by my goat fence yesterday because i went out to see my friendly male got while i was drunk. he just looked at me as if to say 'what the fuck are you doing retard'.
>>533459452I've been zapped by one before. It'll startle you but it's not that painful.
>>533459643i think mine is a 2 joule energizer so not that strong. definitely gives a decent little whack though. one time i crossed under a wire surrounding a cow field where it went over a creek. now that fucker was strong. my dog was on a chain and we were both stood in the creek when i touched the wire on my back and it flattened us both lol. poor dog shot off yelping. had no fucking idea what was going on.
I'm going with figs grapes and pomegranate because they do best in my climate. I also have a peach and plum but the trees look like shit and my figs and thriving
And towmaters
>>533459958Have you tried making dolma with the grape leaves yet?
>>533459958>>533460022nice. we've got get a green house of some kind because the season is just too short for a good tomato run. can still get a frost into june lol, and they quit setting new fruit with a single exposure to something like 13c.
>>533454426I am going to move to USA to steal all your free food you are growingwhite mans burden and all of that
>>533460406And then you get shot in the dick like a fucking dumbass.
>>533460660I will call the anti-white police to take you to gay baby jail for not letting me steal your food.
My hippie neighbor used to have a lush garden yard and after he died suddenly (TM) some disgusting fat old dykes moved in and eradicated every living thing. I was fortunate enough to get a couple cherry and white plum volunteers first, which are easy to grow and taste amazing. ive made wine, vinegar and jam, all delicious. plums are great. thanks for reading my blog
>>533460736i'll trade you some food and a barn loft to sleep in if you work the garden for me this year. maybe the odd bit of buttseggs (no homo)
>>533460736The worst mass shooting in Canadian history was committed by a man wearing a police uniform and driving a reproduction police cruiser. If they are attempting to assist a criminal in victimizing me, I'll assume they are also criminals and shoot them in the dick, too.
>>533460916didnt that tranny in BC get the highscore?
>>533460836>some disgusting fat old dykes moved in and eradicated every living thingMy granparents had a gigantic house with lemon trees and a full on grape vineyard which produced literally free food. All he had done was literally buy a metric fuck ton of cow dung and layered it under the ground, the stuff smelled like shit for weeks but after the stench went away shit would grow stupid fast.Anyways, my dad sold off his property and some retarded woman and her cuck husband literally DESTROYED every single lemon tree and removed all the plants.I just... I cannot even fathom why anyone would do that, what kind of GOY would destroy plants that are giving you free food? You cannot even imagine how different home grown lemons taste from the garbage you buy at the supermarket, shit is completely different.Anyways, kill all women.>>533460849>>533460916Me monky, me want to steal food, me no worky!! Me cause white man pain!!!!
>>533455634put up a shadecloth, retard. nothing that says it should have 'full sun' really wants full sun in a truly hot climate, in the middle of summer you have to give it a bit of shade. >>533459958make sure to keep the fig potted or far away from everything else, their root system will happily choke out any plant within a 5 metre radius
>>533461135i will literally let you live in my literal hay barn with the goats and chickens and you will be happy.
>>533461405>put up a shadecloth,yeah this.
>>5334518953 apple trees, a pear tree, plum tree, figs, and a peach tree.It's kind of crazy how many apples 3 trees yields. We've also got ~10 blueberry bushes that give tons of blueberries.Our garden is hit and miss because of insect infestations. But we do get a decent amount of food from it.
>>533461444>i will literally let you live in my literal hay barn with the goats and chickens and you will be happy.I probably would, i hate this city infested with women and browns and retards. If i hadn't invested in a university education i would fuck off to the middle of nowhere and grow my own food. I am so tired of this city and these people, I wasn't made to live surrounded by niggers... fuck this place.Hopefully in a few years i can save enough money to fuck off somewhere far away from this shithole of a city.
>>533461811Try planting things like mint, nasturtiums and chives near them.
>>533451895this idiot thinks bananas are perennial
>>533462025hope it works out for you buddy
>>533462161 Bananas regrow annually from rhizomes, making them perennials.
>>533462161It regrows every year. Yes, it's perennial. What the fuck do you think that word means?
>>5334518953 pecan trees, 2 peach trees, 1 fig that produces twice in growing season, pomegranate tree, and tree spinach - is we're talking about the things that keep giving without intervention. Garden with Swiss Chard, garlic, onions, tomatoes, all kinds of peppers, okra, beans, many types of squash and zucchini, egg plans. Parsley, oregano, chives, mint. Medicinal plants too many to list. Goats, chickens, and access to all the fish I could ever get.
>>533462444Okra is underrated. Love me some gumbo or fried okra.
>>533462444hot diggity son that sounds great
>this nigga plantin' beans
>>533462499Very easy to grow
>>533462521Ever had a snow pea right off the vine?It's heavenly.
>>533462539I'm in zone 5-6. Way too cold for okra, unfortunately.
>>533462504Best part is that I bought, cash, a former meth property. Immediately dumped 10K into for remediation, all in for 52K. Fenced, cross fenced, with outbuilding. Propane tank. Homestead and Ag taxes are $250.00 a year. I didn't fall into the mega house BS and simply considered potential of property.
>three apple trees>two pear treesAll espaliered>juneberry tree>seven potted figsSmall garden
>>533462608I buy those broad spectrum grow lights that screw into regular fixtures and start all my stuff inside then move outside when it warms up.
>>533462504Oh, forgot the blackberries
>>533462806nice one. ive read a bit about remediation from meth presence in a house due to seeing such places posted on here sometimes. a lot of anons seem to think its an impossible thing to do.
>>533463190Top-tier fruit.
>>533463330Not too bad to do. Tore out 100% of sheetrock, insulation, cabinets, and tore down to subflooring. Rebuilt. Got very nice cabinets off Craigslist from a remodel, spent $500 for the lot of cabinets. Had too many so placed the leftovers in the outbuilding for extra storage. It was a pain in the ass, but went quickly
>>533463587>Tore out 100% of sheetrock, insulation, cabinets, and tore down to subflooring. Rebuiltyeah thats what i was reading in a guide. anything that can be soaked into or retain traces right? how did you do tests?
>>533463829Yeah, anything permeable gutted. I didn't test, I considered everything contaminated. Tweakers had actually torn out all the wiring for copper and there was one working outlet next to breaker box with extension cords all over the place. Incredible it didn't burn down. Since I'm rural, I didn't have to do permits or inspection, except electrical. I laid all the line when while everything torn apart and only had to pay for the inspection and sign off. I owe so very much to YouTube videos, couldn't have done all the work without them.
>>533451895been thinking about growing ice cream bananas any tips?
>>533464244cool. i gotta do some rewiring on my place. never done any of that before.
>>533464323DO IT.Cavendish bananas are tasteless CRAP comparatively.Also, it's the LAW that you have to sing the banana boat song while you harvest them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO7M0Hx_1D8
>>533464323>>533464413Wish those would grow here, but I think even for hardy bananas, mid-Sweden is a bit too cold.
>>533465302HaskapSaskatoonsArctic kiwiCloudberryCurrantsRaspberries/Blackberries/ThimbleberriesYou have many options for cold weather fruit.
>>533465573I know anon, just wish I could grow a few things like blue bananas, loquats, etc.
>>533465825HYPOTHETICALLY, you can grow anything in a greenhouse.Iceland uses geothermal greenhouses to grow bananas, but they stupidly chose cavendish bananas.They should be growing Gros Michel or something since the bananas are so isolated there's little chance of being wiped out.
>>533466010Hypothetically yes, I might try it but I'll definitely have to keep it warm in winter when it goes below -10.>Iceland uses geothermal greenhousesFucking wish I had a geothermal vent near me, volcanic/geothermal areas have so much stuff in the ground that makes food taste 10 times better. Italy, Japan, etc all have a big advantage there, and it's why eating a ripe tomato just picked from the branch on/near mount Vesuvius will blow your mind (and you'll never be able to eat the watery supermarket garbage again).
>>533466316Geothermal is becoming less costly. There's a company called Quaise that is using a plasma based boring technique that vapourizes the rock and blows it out with compressed air. The walls of the hole essentially become glass.If you build a lean-to greenhouse on the Southern side of your home, you'll actually massively increase the efficiency of your home.Do you know how wonderful it is to have your morning coffee in a solarium?
>>533466485>Geothermal is becoming less costly. I wouldn't hold my breath, all of it is directed at powerplants and power generation on a large scale, not individual homes. Quaise plans that it will take 100 days to "drill" to the target depth of 20km, which also means powering the thing for 100 days on top of everything else. At absolute best this will cost at least a few hundred thousand (2026) dollars by 2035 years for private individuals.It wouldn't matter for plant nutrients that much anyway, this would only bring up heated water, while existing geothermal vents have been pushing out material for thousands or hundreds of thousands of years so the nearby soil is extremely rich. The water is richer I'm sure but I doubt you'd see a massive difference within your lifetime.>If you build a lean-to greenhouse on the Southern side of your homeYes this would be the plan.
>>533466971You don't need to go 20km deep for a geothermal greenhouse.
>>533467247I REALLY doubt it will be affordable for private individuals regardless, not in the short term anyway.
>>533466485>you'll actually massively increase the efficiency of your homewe've got a porch on the south side of our place thats basically call windows. heats up the house really well in late fall and early spring. we put a long table right across it for all the seedlings and small plants.
>>533467476People do 8 foot greenhouses, man. You just make it a long-ass trench.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_3_gsgsnk
>>5334544261 patch of physalis replaces all that goy slop
>>533469329Ground cherries are okay, but I would rather have a large variety of plants.
>>533468408That is phenomenal.
>>533469919I know, right?Brilliant design. You could dig the trench in a day with a rented backhoe.
>>533470023I couldn't do this where I live - too much granite and limestone. That's simply bad assed. Fuck, I wish this was possible for me - summer cooling. Crap
>>533451895I do this but I don't have high hopes for it. I can't guard my garden all the time and my yields for a whole season wouldn't even be enough to feed me for a month.
>>533451895I've been rolling beet seed starts and planting.
>>533460996The extra layer being that she is a woman. Very intelligent meme. You get an upvote from me good sir.
>>533471146That just means you would need a hydraulic hammer attachment. It's more work, but still doable.
>>533454426Plant Allegheny blackberry instead of Himalayan
