i am saddened to see so many negative comments here. I can't understand why. so much anger and hatred. why? I think your gardens are lovely and you make very good points about weeds. weeds are generally more nutritious than anything we plant, yet people treat them like the enemy. i had never heard of straw bale gardens before, so thank you. i want a straw bale home too.

Great concept! Might be interesting to mention how very healthy dandilions and chick weed (et al) are. Funny Americans have such a hatred for dandilions, and spray deadly toxins on then...when they could rather be eating them! They would help their congested livers!

How much land is required to sustain a person? Which crops can be stored over winter and how are they stored? How varied a diet is available to a slef-sufficiency smallholder? What about keeping honey bees for the pollenation of fruits and nuts and, ofcourse, producing honey?

With careful land management, you can get by with 1 acre per adult. Almost anything can be lacto-fermented for storage over Winter, and you can use canning techniques for many other fruits/veggies. The biggest challenge is getting sufficient fats.
Bees are great but require careful handling and good knowledge. Check out "The Backyard Beekeeper" for more information.
