My grandfather was an avid gardener and would always say "gardening is the best way to overpay for your tomatoes". It can be a fun hobby but there's no way you're growing food cheaper than farmers.
I think this every time someone romanticizes living out in the country.
I live in the city now after years of living in the country, and I definitely wanna go back to the country. The only good thing about the city is that I can just walk across the street for groceries which are way more expensive here than where I moved from. City has more pests, too. Once in a while I'd see a field mouse get into the kitchen when I was living in the sticks. In the city, cockroaches and big fat fucking rats all the time, everywhere, the minute the sun goes down. It's gross.
Garlic has to be one of the easiest things ever to grow. Doesn't care about soil, super hardy and drought tolerant, put in the ground and water it. Or if you live somewhere where it rains you don't even need to do that. Great guerilla crop because it it doesn't need anything.
I hate well known methods being referred to as "hacks".
I do pottery and clay reclaiming is something literally every potter learns how to do and knows what it is and has probably done it since the dawn of human civilization. Then I see some YouTube short claiming they discovered an "infinite clay hack". 🤦♂️
I got this issue with the word "reference". I Remember when the mario movie came out, and every video, every person, every whatever, did not stop finding "references". If a mushroom were in Mario's room it was a reference... Did people recall that is a mario movie....? And do they remember the fact that mushrooms belong to Mario's universe? Those are not a reference, god
This reminds me of that Mitchell and Webb sketch about farming.
You cannot lose!
I don’t even care, I’ll watch this every time it gets posted.
Honestly I'd much rather see homesteading cycle in and out of the public zeitgeist than the trends of felonies disguised as "challenges."
People, just make sure you let your garlic over winter.
