RE: 🌱to💰• Growing Money In Your Yard Series • {pt2} • Grow What You Know & How to Find Profitable Opportunities

in #garden7 years ago

I think it's a good idea and the more people you can convince to grow food to sell the better. We need to become less reliant on commercial agriculture and more self sufficient. My objective here is to help folks get started or progress to larger gardens and a wider variety of crops by sharing the knowledge I've built up from over 35 years of gardening. And of course you never stop learning so I'm picking up some new ideas from others also.

While I'm focused more on gardening to eat I think we have similar goals. I buy mostly organic when I'm not eating from the garden and after several years of calculating the amount of produce coming from my garden I averaged $1,500 a year savings not counting what I gave away. Thanks for following. Following you back.

Very nicely put, @garden-to-eat. Right on the money

We need to become less reliant on commercial agriculture and more self sufficient.
Absolutely! We have our own best interest in mind when we grow our own food, not to mention our friends, family, & neighbors.

Commercial growing is essential for us to sustain life, but it tends to be quite different; small scale farms compared to large scale operations are vastly different with different products. With more local produce growers selling to market - the market (all of us) win. Better prices, better products for consumers. If we generate an abundance of healthy food, help others to generate a profit from their valuable skills - we have won! Let's bring the power back into the hands of the consumer. Glad to have made your acquaintance @garden-to-eat and I look forward to growin' together 🌱🍅😉
