I realize that not everyone has chickens... BUT, if you do, or have a friend who does... you can put a chicken tractor over or near your garden plot and allow the chickens to scratch up the soil, they remove all greenery and fertilize the soil. When they have everything worked over, you can then move them to another location and begin your final garden prep and planting. Chicken tractors are even being used in cities like Boston! Check out Garden Girl TV for an example. (">
@269821 I dont need health care i can cure cancer and many other diseases i understand how the body works. Just struggle from low confidence and self esteem
You would need a lot of land and land is so expensive in u.k. so i do not think so Many would like to be able to do this but it will only be a dream. You can grow enough to provide a lot of food for yourself after work! You could move abroad to where land is cheap and things grow well but then you would not have all the things that peoples taxes pay for here like N.H.S.Social and free education.Lliving off land and not working would not give you money for health care .
There are a lot of ways to get started. Learning to compost, use grey water for gardening, rammed earth and use seeds from veggies you eat from the market are a good start. Take it from me. Don't overload yourself with too many new skills to learn at once. And, plant easy, high reward plants first. I like blackberries where I live, I get a lot of fruit from little work. Practice some basic essentials for year one. Add trees and herbs the next year. Whatever order you'd like.
