Survival Gardening Part 1 peak oil, food storage, TSHTF

In a new series of video we discuss and will show methods of gardening "when it counts." The first 3 short videos detail some of the pitfalls and perils to the common survival/preparedness thinking of "when my storage food runs out I'll just grow a garden." Intermixed throughout the first three videos are also invaluable tips on gardening and food production for the homestead, survival retreat or backyard in suburbia. The first step in planning to truly grow your own food is to recognize the factors working AGAINST you, so you can plan accordingly. If your interested in being able to feed yourself from your own labor either now or after an economic collapse, peak oil, etc. then you should view these video.

Grow corn it is easier to hide in when the gorrillas on horses try to net your mutant post-Fukushima ass. No guns or gold are going to save ya from isotopes in soil and rain.

@441rider Retarded drunk comments like this shouldn't make anyone wonder why so many people are fed up with youtube. Damn, and here I thought "guns or gold" would save my "mutant post-Fukushima arse" Guess I need a new plan.... Thanks so much for the awesome effort and well thought out comment!

I don`t understand your point of view on the problem, not getting enough amonium nitrat for the plants, if you don`t have chemial fertilizers. Urine is free, and dilluted in to som kind of irrigation system it will sirve perfectly for that purpose. It has been done for thousands of years.

[SurvivalReport]

@au46tro9 Perfect example of people speaking out of their own perspective. Yes using just urine might work on a 4'x4' raised bed growing some corn. Are you going to have enough urine to fertilize a 1/4 acre? And being that we are talking about SURVIVAL gardening- are you going to be able to risk the heavy SMELL of that much urine? Think that won't be a security risk? Your darn right that will be a security risk in the PAW.

I made a Peak Oil garden video for the average Joe homeowner....

@kokonutbaby1 Contrary to popular disarmament aka "peace geek" propaganda, not everyone is going to die in a nuclear war... Get educated. Within about a year UV light will be back to similar to now levels. Water can be filtered and of course wells would not be affected in the same way as ponds and rivers. The "raiders" your referring to would most likely be your starving neighbors that also believed they would all die in a nuclear war, yet lived through it UNPREPARED. Education is the key...

I like your demonstration of the problems created by lack of experience with gardening. I agree crop selection is very important for survival. What crops provide food after some disaster very much depends on them being suited to the conditions you can provide. Sunchoke is a high yielding, pest tolerent and low maintenance crop. Other crops also have potential to crop productively in adverse conditions. I would like to start a charity to develop a seed bank of these potential catch crops.

hey if you added compost or compost tea, would that not be a good enough innoculent for adding bacteria?

If everyone has a victory garden (and everyone should be starting right now as the videographer says) that will reduce the need for people to go robbing other's stores of food. Also plant fruit and nut trees NOW for your zone that will provide a reliable yearly crop of vitamin C and protein even if there is a problem with seed crops. The oil has peaked, so the sooner you get these trees delivered, your gardens planted and the knowledge embedded in your brains, the better off your kids will be.

I love the "face reality" aspect of your video's. I practice permagardening. the nice thing about that it is NO need for pesticides or man made fertilizers.

You can even use a "chicken tractor" for loosening soil and such.

What's really great about pg is that it's very, very low maintenance once you get it established. It's really great for those with less than green thumbs as the set up is the hard part, the growing is the easy part.

I have thought of that very thing .some one stealing food out of my garden.I solved that problem with Dogs.also

I put in different place shotgun shells in the walk pathes.step on one and "BANG"!! you loose a foot

@marcjtdc I was talking 150 miles in relation to MASSES of people, not 3 or 4 that will be busy guarding their own places. How do you figure someone won't be "detected" in full moon or rainstorm? I think you should research some of the options that are/were available for perimeter protection. Most are in no way affected by either "rain" or "full moon." I'm NOT talking about some hookey can with BB's in them on strings type deal, I'm talking about real perimeter alarms.
