i noticed the asparagus at 2:50 is bent down. did you tie it down? just curious why its like that

[MrEnergyCzar]

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

Thanks for sharing- Love the set up and different edibles! I know you have put lots of time and energy into this.. Im sure it was yummy too! 

[MrEnergyCzar]

@gardenmagik Everyone should check out gardenmagik's channel.... real gardening going on there...

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

[MrEnergyCzar]

@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

@jbwilliams1971 I just googled under google images "raised cedar planters" and you'll see them. Pretty easy to build too...thanks

@ddamyanov Date a farmer or establish community connections that will give you better access to local food supplies...

[SoulSurvivorX2]

Amazing how well prepared you are and how you make such good use of your resources ;) c

What a beautiful garden!

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

[MsPeakOil]

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.
