Want to grow some of your own food, but don't have the available land? Barrel gardening is an affordable answer to becoming somewhat "self-sustaining" when it comes to raising food.

  • As a born-n-raised Georgia resident and PTSD-disabled Marine Corps veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom I have found my way recently into gardening and want to grow my own food. I would love more info and help as I have almost no resources or a means to get barrels, soil, etc.

  • Making my barrels now.

  • Easy answer: The barrels and soil are a one-time purchase, your fuel tank needs constant refilling. Moreover, after you get the barrels set up they will start producing food crops - which will soon pay for the barrels, and soon eventually help also with your fuel costs.

    If you really want to save money and be more self-sufficient, purchase a Solar Oven Society Sport Solar Oven (w/reflectors); and then get a Stovetec Deluxe One Door Rocket Stove. Look them up here on Youtube.

  • Pay for gas, or pay for barrels and soil? Toss up.

  • I LOVE this idea.  I am going to try it!
