Patio Gardening Project Finale and Review

http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=79860 After growing some radishes in a patio gardening project, I sit down to a meal of ham, baby radishes and with a roll on the side.

This project started several months ago as an example of what people can grow in a storage tub.

With my Tomatos that I grow I use egg shells for its food. I save the egg shells and I put them in the blender and turn it into a powder and I sprikel it on my Tomatos and my other veggtables and it makes them grow big. Reason why is because eggs have calcoum and the plants like it. It works I recommend anyone to try it.

After 4 weeks those should of been large radishes with actual radishes. stay away from Miracle gro. The nutrients are synthetic and lock up in the soil to where the plant cannot access them correctly which is why your radishes did not grow like crazy. Plus it looked like it was way to wet. I grow radishes and in 3 weeks they are over 7 inches tall and the leaves are as large as romaine lettuce leaves and all I use is Epsoma organic fertizlier which has pasturized chicken. Miracle Gro is junk

Sorry for so many replies but I kept receiving error messages. I tried to post links to two other Youtube videos on making a Low and High Tunnel which is a man made green house, but it wont let me. So look up "Growing Wisdom" and look up videos for "low tunnel" and "high tunnel" on Youtube.

Also stocking up on spices is also a good way to get through having to eat all those canned foods. Even with some thing as bad as MRE's, they can taste quite well with the proper seasoning. Or and you could grow your own spices.

To compliment your survival video may I suggest growing in cold weather a man made green house which can be very small or large. All that is needed is plastic and some form of wood or metal to create a frame. For your survival theme I would think it would make sense to do it. I am not promoting his site, only his idea as well as yours. Good luck.

I hate spinich (Although if nothing else to eat I am sure I would have no problem eating it.) but I love it's leaves. I prefer baby spinach even to a regular head of lettace.  I wonder how the radish leaves would taste. Also interesting about the green onions. I use every thing from them, but the very end tip and the very front tip. I wonder if the tiny white head would grow by it self opposed to the big piece you stuck in the ground.

I like this series, I will only be commenting on this video though. I liked it and I came to this series due to I live in an apartment off the 1st floor and with a large over hang that blocks most of the sun. Good for shade, not for vegetables. I came here expecting a little more for what I was looking for, but still learned some things just the same.

The red root part of the radish is suppose to be a nutritional light-weight, so it makes sense to eat the green leafs, where all the nutrition is. Nice demo series on the container gardening. BTW, I can't beleive that you would sit down and eat a whole can of "Treat" in one sitting! You better include some Lipitor in your supplies.

All of those are a great idea. I think its good to plant a good number of those but I'm planting other stuff too. I'll eat the greens while I wait on my corn, tomatoes, eggplant and watermelons.

Good Job Kevin. You are absolutely right. I too, will be pulling from the ground. And I have stockpiled an ammo can full of a-z vitamins.
