@Morophin3 I didn’t tie them or anything. It’s their first year so that may be why.

What a beautiful garden!

You must feel good knowing that you learned the skill of actually growing food. It’s a lost art.

Very smart to raise them up…protect the back… in must be incredible to just go out on your deck and pick a fresh organic salad…

Peak oil and veggies???

To get 2100 calories from vegetables you could eat 2 pounds of each of the following: broccoli, cauliflower, onion, potato, carrot and cucumber. That’s twelve pounds of veggies in one day. Or…you could just eat 35 pounds of those delicious lettuce varieties. Fat and sugar is where most calories come from.

@MrEnergyCzar There are some great how-to videos on first-flush systems with filters (basically used for grey water systems mainly), but if you have an asphalt roof no matter how clean the water is from bird droppings/leaves/etc. it is water I wouldn’t drink unless I ran it through a katadyne or berkey. That being said…I would be afraid it would mess with the PH of the soil as well as contaminate it…even if it is a small PPM of actual petroleum in it. Supplementing with it is not AS bad

@amusingisthedawn Great question. I’m worried about what is in the actual rain that falls from the sky. I’m not worried about the rain barrel water because I water the plants with a very small percentage of water coming from the rain barrels as I live in a rainy area anyway. I also don’t have a roof with asbestos (pre-1980), herbicide/moss killer roof, or cedar shake roof with copper or arsenic. If you live in a dry climate and rely just on the roof you can do a slow sand filter or diverter

Do you have asphalt shingles? If so, are you worried about ruining the organic garden with water from the oil based shingles?

are u really able to feed yourself with only the food u grow in that little garden… i mean don’t get me wrong, u seem to have a larger lot than the average person, but r u really able to grow that much food?

This is a great series, I especially enjoyed the tour around your energy saving house, you are clearly well-read it would be good to hear your opinion on current topics via some vlogs perhaps – quicker than typing!

@muthich the meals I don’t eat out pay for it. Definately somewhat of a sacrifice but wouldn’t change it…
February 14th, 2012 at 3:48 pm
great survival facilities!
but who pays it?
February 14th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Your a smart man. People shake their heads at me when i tell them food will not always be so cheap. I hope i live long enough to see our planet exhaust its energy supply.. will be a great day.. ill have turrets and dogs protecting my gardens from the ignorant fools too dependent on societies easy ways.

Awesome!

@SensiBleu While some still desire to believe in abiotic oil, but much of science has moved past that after they figured out ho petroleum was created. BP was drilling to & into a formation that was know to be there before they commenced drilling. As always they can’t know all the characteristics of formation until it’s explored

@MrEnergyCzar Just finished building one! Thanks!

@jbwilliams1971 I just googled under google images “raised cedar planters” and you’ll see them. Pretty easy to build too…thanks
February 14th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
