I tried a container garden this year and honestly, I apparently can't grow a darn thing. *sigh*

You bring up a few very good points! I've been brought up in a farming community myself and never would have looked at growing corn as an opportunity for mishaps. I agree with everything you've said. Props for thinking outside the box :)

What about jerusalem artichokes as a crop that does not appear to be a food source. Most people would take it to be a flower or a weed. They also are high producing and can be grown with limited water. Their prolific and perennials .

OK...we get it...you don't like corn!!

Please stop repeating yourself

Wasted valuable time we could learn how to tranport water for areas far away,

How to keep bugs off planets, etc etc etc etc

Thanks for posting SOME info tho

@oevzA1oL I wouldn't have a disker if it was shoved up my ass.... But pigs don't exactly seem ideal. I've raised chickens, but they are selective and die before stripping the land properly. I think I will need advice or some costly trial and error before I get it right... I have a property contracted for purchase but won't likely be there until about august. By then I will have tall grass and an open playing field to start with. I'm wide open to ideas.

@buckstarchaser excuse my not being clearer. My recommendation instead of considering any petrol based solution (like disk harrows) first look to a nature based solution. You stated you were attempting to avoid equipment costs and I was offering an alternative to an industrial solution. The issue is we have been trained to look at things from an industrial standpoint instead of rethinking our approach. This is where a guy like Salatin offers good input, although there are others.

@oevzA1oL I've read the recommended book "gardening when it counts" and it changed my mind about planting in rows vs. blocks. What is it that you are recommending? I'm concerned that pigs would compress the ground a bit. Other than that I like bacon a lot.
