Not one life was saved by lockdowns, but many were lost. Dig into the topic. The conventional science pre-Covid. The results post-Covid. It's yet another power game - masks and lockdowns. You will be horrified if you read past the propaganda. There is a deep state and they're doing well. Search my threads.
Indoor gardening works better every year too! Grow lamps aren't just for weeds
Are you old enough to remember when planes did Not make Clouds?? Geo engineering of the atmospheric rivers is the problem!
First, a shout out to the folks at Rodale, i.e. Organic Gardening. This UA-camr is good, but search That carbon footprint argument is SO bogus. Our garden was the major source of fresh vegetables when I was a kid and we had no money. One of my little sisters was severely hurt, and while she eventually recovered it was after dozens of surgeries. Zucchini for ease of growth and lettuce because greens are one of your most expensive purchases ( and garden lettuce tastes MUCH better) plus tomatoes just because heirloom tomatoes taste WAY better. These were the mainstays at the time in our small suburban garden. I did a lot of work in that garden, and have gardened ever since.
I was going to give pointers until
the second half of the video. I love the fact that he has used every technique I have to save money. I'll also add my two cents worth about that idiotic headline, and kudos to him for going further into the study.
First, the claim that monoculture is more efficient, even when you add fertilizer and pesticides. Huh? My dad was a chemical engineer, and must be rolling in his grave. I guess that carbon footprint claim might work if you ignore the entire energy signature when building that friggin huge multistory manufacturing plant that takes up acres, while also ignoring the cost of any kind of toxic waste disposal and incineration (high temperature incineration is often the only way to dispose of some of the really toxic organics). Oh and what is the cost to cart away tons of contaminated soil after building a clay lined tomb for it, covering it with a supposedly impermeable cap, and monitoring all the area around it just in case that impermeable cap, or the clay liner, leak. You know, all those safe products like DDT, Lindane (used to control termites because It's the next best thing to a forever chemical until they realized it was f@cking up kids), Isotox (you used to be able to find a neurotoxin to spray on your vegetables), and Roundup. Look up "pesticide" and "adjuvants" too.
I have trouble believing though that even if you just look at the feedstock and energy costs of fertilizer and pesticides that monocultures are more efficient. Here's why. Soil carbon. One of the newest scams being perpetrated by corporate farms is paying them for soil sequestration of carbon. Better known as compost.
Why isn't there any carbon in that soil? Because it's much easier to simply keep dumping fertilizer on the soil until it is so worn that you reach the point of diminishing returns. Now they want to be paid to put carbon back in the soil.
That's not carbon capture, that's remediation for all the carbon that was released due to terrible farming practices. I compost massively, and routinely when I can grab them get loads of wood chips when they are trimming trees. As they break down they turn into this wonderful black soil, or even better yet if you have areas your planning to start a garden in (and I have clay subsoil that had all the top soil scraped off when they built the house 40+ years ago) just till the wood chips about a foot or so deep, leave it raised up, and as the wood chips break down they had tons of carbon while hugely improving drainage. Grow some really deep rooted annual cover crops during that same time span, and in a couple of years it's wonderful to gardening. The only thing you've paid for is the rototiller (and a little bit of gasoline).
Lastly, all that organic matter in the soil holds moisture. So when you get a dry spell you don't need to start watering your plants immediately. Except when you're involved in corporate agriculture where the soil has been abused so badly that it has very little water retention capability, so you need to irrigate it more. Which means you are pumping more water. Which is HIGHLY energy intensive.
I have 8 rain barrels that I use to gather rainwater, both to water my acid-living plants, and also to raise dozens of Cope's Grey Tree Frog tadpoles in. My children ADORE the tree frogs. As an added bonus, when my daughter was little it turned out a mama gray fox had raised a litter in our brush pile. While I think the coyotes had killed her other kits, she still had one and brought it over to our koi pond to teach it to catch frogs. My then little girl and I just sat watching the mother and her kit for over half an hour. This by a child who was severely ADHD.
After all the poisons were gone, instead of having to spray pesticides to keep all the beetle grubs out of the lawn, it turns out there's a kind of wasp that hunts the grubs and then takes them to a burrow where they feed her young. We have dozens of kinds of native bees. We also have t😢o remove black jumping spiders from our blackberries, blueberries, and elderberries when we harvest them. Who needs pesticides when you have an army of little ADHD critters eating every aphid and fruit fly they can catch, and eating the stink bug eggs that they find on anything (It turns out jumping spiders ADORE stink bug eggs). Have I mentioned birds? This is already rambled on too long.
I DO garden defiantly. There’s a shotgun sitting on the porch 😂
None of this makes sense. It’s not about the environment. It’s about power and control.
yep, a resource grab
@@younes86hotmail actually, it’s a grab of the entire world… Complete takeover. Research agenda 2030.
I agree its mostly about power & control.
Absolutely!!!
For sure!
Remember folks, the carbon they want to reduce is us.
Yep, and they are going to criminalize everything that keeps US alive and force upon us everything that doesn't.
I came here to say the same 😂
Not really, they want us having more children not less. More people = more taxes
That is poignant.
Who's they? Your capitalist overlords love having lots of bodies to exploit and give them they earnings. Grow.
When I heard about this "study" I expanded our garden!!
Good for you cloverleaf.. I'm with ya... I don't like being told what to do either... so I say ..fuc um... with the ...carrots I grew..😅😅
Just discovered this channel and so grateful I did! We all need to do something to protect ourselves from power hungry government!
I no longer pay attention to media headlines. I am a retired scientist and am very upset that science seems to have been hijacked by those who have a political agenda or money rather what science should be about; inquiry and analysis of experimental facts. Keep on doing what you’re doing and don’t pay any attention to those who are trying to push their own interests. I love your channels and have learned a lot from you.
I thought plants were good for the environment, at least that's what I learned in school. Those people are off there rockers. Just another way to control everyone.
AAAAAAMEN! Thank you for saying this truth!
You will never be a true ‘retired’ scientist, so sorry to let you down.
@@BillieOtero-qe1jq Large agro corporations with monopolistic business practices, alongside widespread weed and insecticides, that donate to politicians are officially good for the environment.
@@home17ableJust like their are good people (sometimes it seems hard to find) there are good scientists that are learning right along with us and want the truth, we are not the only ones who see what is happening. We are all to question everything! Only God knows the condition of our hearts. We cannot assume anything
It’s not about the environment, it’s about control. He who controls the food supply controls the world.

@@bwenluck9812 At what point do you trust the words out of their very mouths?
Grow your own! It’s the only safe way- it’s all about control and power! Control the people, get the power- we must resist! Thank you and keep spreading the word!!
I have had my own garden from when I was five years old, I have raised heirloom vegetables! I raise heirloom tomatoes that can not be purchased at the grocery store. I use huge flower pots!
Hi from a french gardener! I just look for who payed this study on our garden's footprint: it's the WEF. So, it's NOT about carbon and climate change, it's about self-sufficient pratices where no profit can be made... Except for ourselves!
Not only that but…Control the food, control the people-Kissinger
The carbon footprint of all the WEF elitists is likely greater than all home gardeners world-wide combined.
Yep, always research who funded any study. So many medical studies now are funded by big pharma or the pet food industry etc.
They have been moving forward for many years..@@Michele-hz3iw
Bonjor friend from across the river. Might want to keep the pressure on the EU as if they still steamroll their plans through in spite of the farmer protests average citizens won't be allowed to have gardens/livestock, and we all know how stasi they can be once they have a new cudgel...not saying the UK government won't be in lockstep mind you, but good luck to them if they want to pinch an inlotment haha
They say all this while they fly around in their jets cause "that doesnt hurt the environment". Make no mistake, its about control.
Exactly. Maybe it is a higher carbon footprint than the guy with the hyper efficient irrigation system. What about the transport costs? What about the risk of ecosystem collapse?
What about all the shit they do, but they want you to get rid of your tomatoes because it's their job to kill the planet
Don't worry about the private jets, they buy carbon credits that totally offsets the whole thing. Some land owner in South America is payed a dollar per acre to not cut down the trees for the next five years.
hashtag my private jet is eco-friendly somehow but your garden is not
That's because THEY (the UN, WEF, progressives, Neocons & Neolibs in general) think their 'mission' to save the planet is far more important.
It's the same deal when asking an Anarcho-Communist such as Antifa or Occupy Wallstreet member why they are using iPhones whilst advocating for the disillusion of corporations - they invariably argue their message is so important they need the iPhone to spread it 🤦♂
What is the matrix?
Control.
Thank you so much for talking about this! These articles make no sense ecologically speaking. This is fear mongering by big agriculture. We grow our own food using regenerative practices and know exactly what goes into the food we eat. Keep spreading the message about the wonderful benefits of growing your own food and we will too! Our communities are resilient and that threatens corporations.
There are 4500 industrial processes for the carbon footprint on a commercially grown egg. With best practices in the world being in Holland (mainly because they have to have newer tractors that we have) There is no way that there can be a greater carbon foot print if no mechanical machinery is used. This is the simplest way to debunk this argument. NO MACHINERY USED = SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT
No matter how long you’ve been gardening and preserving food, its always nice to see what others are doing. Thank you!
So many lies are told to make people afraid. It's all about control. They don't want you to be self sufficient. Thanks for this video!!
In the Soviet Union the government disallowed Christians helping Christians.
Exactly!
Wanna-be Stalins want everyone to be dependent upon centralized systems. This will make everyone too afraid to express disfavored political views because the consequence of doing so will be to get cut off from the things that are needed to survive.
So many say that, rightly. So few know the full extent of that. Medicine as we now know it and religion on which it is based are control based mechanisms, far more powerful that most can imagine. Both can be insanely profitable. A light shall soon expose the beyond wicked dark forces. Medicine to be exposed and no longer promoted. Spirituality likely to rise over rote learning, IMO. Even who we are has been hidden. Better ways of managing our lives are at hand, wholesome, happy cooperative ways without the manipulation to divide us all, for the purpose of making us weak.

@@Renee-kk1hf This is about gardening, not politics. Please don't bring up elections here.
Unfortunately “politics” has decided to get into every niche of our lives. You can’t ignore it when “they” are trying to control a garden!
@@gusmonster59 Unfortunately, elections have consequences and those can even affect gardening. Bury seeds in the dirt, not your head.
I have had a backyard garden for most of my life. I have a few people come by whenever they want some fresh produce, I have no set prices on the plants I grow. I have had a garden in the same place for 48 years.
I didn't get to plant my garden this year--front yard, and dog walkers gush over things growing, everyday--becayse I need a re-supply of compost and osmoscote at least.
So I still have nasturtiums, wild adters and African marigold 3ft tall,,,,
and glorious long green onions, wow they btw are unstoppable, never stop through blistering bake by April in Florida, to dry to chilled, gigantic through a year.
It saved me udolated. Impoverished at 71, no car 2020-21-23...I couldn't find my brother who was homeless, he died last year and I was suicidal.
It is not about growing enough to feed the neighborhood...it's fir a salad, and worth it. I picked one squash, those specialty pests ARE prolific, zucchini bugs...but chopped it up on lettuce and cherry to aties and realized not to diminish my yield because you know in truth...I hadn't had a fresh squash , in years somehow, poor often supplement with frozen food. One squash really did matter.
Thanks.
My wife and I have had a garden for at least 40 years and there’s no way we’re going to stop now 🤨 We’re 60 years old and love our time together working on our garden 😊
I love this!! So sweet!! 😭❤
You would be an example of the long term carbon offset.
About the same here. I remember my Grandparents gardens and my Dads. It was a lot of work, but we all did our part. And got an education as to how much physical labor is required.
Not that I want to waste my time, but I do wonder about the details and "peers" who reviewed the study. Thinking of all the ways to "home garden", they surely must have chosen extremes as the norm.
My mom has a garden she does every year! I love helping her in it when I can!
You shouldn't stop at all. I think they are lying about the carbon footprint. Green is good!
Is a garden covered in concrete better? No, ofcourse not.
Nor are crops with pesticides etc.
'He who controls the food controls the people..' 🤨🤬
*Do not comply..*
🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
And controls the message...
🎯🎯🎯 this is about control.
And they don't want us teaching our kids either, because they know they can't get us to their way of thinking, but they believe they can get our kids.
Spot on!
EXACTLY. This is all just another move towards their global agenda of complete control.
And whatever the media machine is saying, you're best off believing the opposite.
Big Ag can't stand losing control, and conventional food is killing us. Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge with us, and let's all garden defiantly, abundantly, and peacefully! ❤
I live very close to the area where they are banning backyard chicken ownership because of the growing population of rodents in residential areas. It is all about controlling the people. Gardening has saved my life over and over again emotionally, physically and financially. I support you and thank you for your openness and sharing. Let us all keep growing!
My wife and I read the same article. We immediately starting laying out a plan to double the size of our garden.
When the chicken egg articles came out during the egg shortage, we went from 7 egg laying chickens to 21. Never sold an egg. We give them away a dozen at a time to friends, family, neighbors, and strangers. We want to do the same with our vegetable garden. Our mission is to open our communities eyes to the BS that our government shoves down our throat. Both figuratively and literally.
AMEN. IT goes deeper than people realize. Check out the carbon tax they want. And that goes for the millionaires and Trump, too.
We did the same! 150% increase in garden plot, invested in a tractor to keep my back from breaking. We did sell our eggs but at the same price $3/dozen. Our chickens got a new feed method, chicken tractors cut the feed need in half.
❤
👏🏼👏🏼
Yess. 🙌🙌
And at the same time, governments across Europe are trying to destroy commercial farmers, saying that they're destroying the climate too, so which one is it? Truth is, they're all lying through their teeth. Keep on gardening frens 💃💃💃❤️
So having lived in Germany, I would like to comment on this having had some first hand experience
Farming down with monoculture, genetically modified seeds and harsh pesticides and herbicides has been targeted for decades as it disrupts the local biomes and poisons the soils. We are talking Monsanto owned and facilitated.
The headlines about farmers rising up was a push by the current right wing party in Germany to use fear and propaganda to say that the common working man is being put upon.
Corporate run farms, Monsanto, etc., are not the common man.
Anymore so then jaguar is the common car driven by everyday Americans
The EU has banned close to 1300 more chemicals the our 19 or so by the FDA for many, many decades .
Also the subsidy cuts are fuel cuts.
@@lynnealuebben1967 That's an interesting & valid point, thanks for taking the time to share the differences between the big corporate farms & the family owned. Not to dispute you, but just to remind, these huge farms are also an important employer also, especially in remote areas where well-paid jobs are few. I'm in Australia & certainly particularly out in WA, you can go many hundreds of kilometres where there is literally no work except farming. There is definitely a push to put more land into the conglomerates & we all know why, but yes, again, thanks for commenting 👍
@@ImGlyn are you sure those big farms pay well? 🤨
@@ElderandOakFarm Hard to tell to be honest, but there will definitely be an Award Rate that legislates. But even so, it's work & there are many families grateful for it.
More power to your endeavour and dedication. Best wishes from Hungary 😊
A lot of prepper minded people are starting to grow their own food. The government doesn’t want ppl to be self sufficient.
I've been saying for a few years that they would try to ban gardening. They don't want you having access to food that they don't control.
Grow dome, aeroponics etc.
Gardeners also have achievement personalities and that is dangerous to liberal ideology for centralized social welfare which benefits politicians' families profiteering from the welfare industry.
Some governors already tried that. During covid, they demanded stores close off areas of stores that were the gardening area. No one could buy plants, seeds, soil, fertilizer etc. because these governors deemed that area of the store non-essential. I remember seeing all the pictures and videos of people in stores like Walmart that could go all over the store, except the garden department. They closed off the area with pallets, caution tape and sometimes an employee standing guard telling you that you couldn't enter that area under governor's order. If memory serves, the worst offender was the Michigan governor Whitmer...same state where this "study" and article stems from. Coincidence...likely not since so much money for this University comes from the government. This university gets about $400 million a year from the state government, i.e. Whitmer.
100%
Not exactly a crazy call when they’ve already done that with rain water collections multiple times over the years and water beats food for importance
I'll never stop gardening. It not only feeds my family, but it helps me cope emotionally with all that's going on in the world. Blessings to you.
Imagine this, what are you in for? Gardening in my back yard.
Absolutely. God created gardening for food, but also for solace, peace, productivity, and encouragement.
@@michellewelch6013 absolutely .It's one of my favorite places to pray and the gardening itself helps take my mind off of the pain I'm going through with my neck and shoulders. Of course it also adds to it because of the work but it's worth it.
I'll never stop gardening. Best addiction ever.
Same goes for me and my family. Keeps us sane to be honest. Pretty darn scary and a overinflated ego world. Truly is NOT a positive thing
So very well said. You also were a great example of how we should approach all headlines that make us angry, outraged or fearful. Read it through and check the source. 👍
Thank you for what you do! God bless you and your gardens!
My husband works as the vice president of research for The International Fertilizer Development Center, a non-profit company focused on testing fertilizers and their effects, educating farmers in poor countries about natural fertilizers while also reducing the use of pesticides, herbicides, harsh synthetic fertilizers, and reducing the carbon footprint. He is also an urban gardener.
This headline really infuriated him. The advantages of growing your own food compared to large corporations are night and day. Just the synthetic products these corporations use are 1000 times worse, not to mention the harvesting, transportation, etc. He has to fight misinformation like this headline on a daily basis.
Luckily a lot of us know the truth!👍 Thank your husband for me🙂
What does your husband think of all the Farmer's protesting all around the world right now? Does he support the U.N. 2030 Agenda? Please specify what misinformation has been spread, I'd like to know.
Anyone that uses the word misinformation isn't to be trusted
His head must be in the sand. Look at the Netherlands, their government is forcing farmers out. In the US the government is shutting down meat production. My son said the cost of calves is running 3.00 a pound. They want us to eat less meat.
NWO and WEF working hard.
@@ryanabulmerIf he does then he better kiss farming goodbye.
the commercial food chain is terrified people will understand how simple growing your own healthy organic foods actually costs
Exactly
What are you on about? It's neither simple nor cheap to grow and process any meaningful percentage of your own food. It's not about the cost anyway but rather the quality.
@@shawnbottom4769 Make it as simple as possible . Gather your own seeds , use rain barrels , compost , and freeze many of the vegetables . We just used some frozen tomatoes in some pasta and soups and I have some tomato seeds sprouting for an early start in my greenhouse . And don't forget that in Canada we can grow pot plants legally , they help shade my lettuce . This is so much better for our environment , and your health !
@@shawnbottom4769what are YOU on about?! I have 5 acres and only use about 1000sqft for gardening and chickens.... And I'm giving away cartons of eggs and baskets of produce. If you spend a few hours a week outside, and set up the proper infrastructure, food production can be easy breezy!

Agreed ... Never allow this to be... if people want to grow and can their own food... it should never be illegal.
Pretty sad we have to protect our gardens with guns from the government.

We should remember that any new information that comes out, regardless of the intent or conclusions of the research or study, will be used by big companies with big marketing budgets in green-washing and gaslighting campaigns to sell us stuff.
As long as our economy is based on selling goods to consumers, any and all lies will be printed to grease those transactions.
Growing our own food is the most important way to detatch ourselves from that "transaction" and re-grow our local communities. Give away your excess food to neighbors, family and friends. Spread the love of gardening!

I'm from the old school, my mother in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, put in two huge gardens , that's how she fed 12 children and neighbors children and she said she loved every minute of it for her families health. We all learned to love the gardens❤🙂
Home gardening for food was common when I was young. Uncles of mine had small holdings where families of 7 or eight people were fed well by the work of parents and grandparents tilling the soil. Only tea, flour and sugar were bought from the shop. Dairy and eggs from their own livestock etc...
My grandma's family lived off their gardens.
Oh, and because of their lifestyle (hard work, you buy when you have the cash, make what you can, don't have what you don't need) with 12 kids and extended family of friends with all their needs and emergencies, her father not only lived debt free, but died with hundreds of thousands to his name

Very good but if things get that bad, I hope you have the guns and ammo to keep it
@@torakfett3351 Your husband is right. If things were to actually deteriorate to the point that food was unavailable on grocery store shelves for any length of time, it is highly dubious that you could A) Grow enough food on a typical urban lot to sustain you for any length of time and B) Actually retain control of it from others who would also be hungry and desperate.
Unless you live in a very rural area, this is just a pipe dream. You would get a lot further just stockpiling food rather than trying to grow it.
DemocRATs want to starve you if you don't vote for them. Just like the Soviet Union did
@@dancooper6002but you can stockpile it by growing it. Growing it is part one canning it is part 2. Or drying or brewing or fermenting

@@becknireckn While true, I mostly mean 'symbols' as in symbols you'd gift someone to represent your love and the maintaining of it. It is delicate. Tulips are amazing for this purpose, Roses, Carnations, Lotus, ect also work. The flowers have to be highly symmetric. My Grandmother's flower is Sunflower, which is nice, because it cannot be misconstrued.

A few years ago, an article appeared here in Northern Europe claiming that carrots grown in Kenya (Africa) have a smaller feed footprint than home-grown ones. Unbelievable when you know that these are transported here by plane.
What a waste of jet fuel
I'm wondering if that's the same logic behind foods, even organic ones from China. 🤔
They are forgetting that planes cause climate warming directly by seeding clouds
@@ArisEmriis "organic" is a joke , now add china to this y get a bad joke.
@@erichughes284this been happening everywhere and sure the only sense it makes is a handful of people making huge profits on the expense of the rest of us. I live in greece and we do have some quality foods. However we import...lemons from egypt or cyprus. Thats a very small example...
Apparently initiatives for this are already in place in Oregon. It's scary. Small farms and local chicken keepers being shut down, to protect the "local water supply." And what? Large corporations, like Monsanto don't and won't contribute to an even larger amount of carbon footprint? Once local gardeners and small farmers are shut down? Where is the logic in that? It's just like the concept of sweeping dirt under the rug: You haven't gotten rid of the problem, you've just moved it around.
Keep doing what you’re doing in every way, grow, garden speak out, all of it ✊🏼
This is started by big companies that are losing money because of home gardeners. There is a movement in the western US where large farms are starting to move towards permaculture because they are finding that traditional gardening is eroding the topsoil. The chemical companies are starting to lose money. KEEP GARDENING!!!
It isn't about the money, they know that something very bad is coming and they want everyone to be as helpless as possible when it comes. Fight them by growing, sharing seeds plants and teaching others to grow.
Thanks!

I think also. Maybe a large solar storm like the Carrington Event will hit us in future. All power lines and power stations will be down. No communication, no transport and other modern technology will be available after such an event.
Therefore we need to increase our self-reliance.
Please all gardeners use mostly seedfast/non-hybrid seeds for your garden/farm.
And learn also to collect pure seeds. Maybe we will depend on it in future.
In Europe it is easy to buy such seeds in special seed stores online or at farmers markets. There are several communities which preserve old varieties like the communities Arche Noah, Templiner Kräutergarten, Demeter and others.
I disagree it's about control they want to use food and water to control us in there fifteen minute citys
This is a war on humanity.
When it comes to the chicken not laying eggs, it’s weird when people started feeding them something different than the store-bought foods they started laying again.
I believe it was a Purina feed. I stopped buying their products for my dogs after that. .
We buy the Purina feed for our chickens but they also get a giant pan of fruit, veggies and leftovers plus oyster shells, meal worms, and diatomaceous earth daily, so the crap quality of the purina hasn't really been an issue. We have 17 chickens and get 13 to 20 eggs a day.
@@user-np2lu3wv2q We don't use Purina, over priced crap! We buy from a local farmer. But we also give our chickens scraps and left overs, they love it. The only time our chickens slow down on egg production is in the winter time, we have 13, and usually get like 3 to 5 eggs a day during the winter. When spring and summer get here though, it's 13 a day almost all the time.
Im not a conspiracy guy, but this is true. My family has had chickens for about 175 years😅. My dad, brother and I all had this problem this year. Switched to feed ground at the local elevator and chickens started producing. My dad even saw an article about it on the Farm Channel.
Even with the best food and care, chickens still go through periods of time when they don't lay eggs. I live out in the country and I get chicken & duck eggs from a friend. Right now in February, they aren't laying.
Going beyond the click bait headline, actually reading the articel and delving into critical thinking- BRAVO!!! Couldn't agree more with all you said!! Thank you for speaking up!

My 92 year old mom was a Master Gardener, Master Food Preserver, and did Judging and teaching and worked for the extension office. I have been living on her property for almost 10 years to help her and have learned so much. Now her gardening has mostly fallen to me as her hands and feet. She has health issues that prevent her from doing the physical work but is a treasure trove of knowledge for keeping us fed. My siblings don’t know what they are missing out on. I have a niece that is developing a garden and has chickens. She calls mom every Friday to chat and get advice on the garden. Mom loves sharing her knowledge, feeling needed and important. I am so blessed to live on her property, to spend time with her and listen to her talk about her life.
Oh, about mom, she has afib which means congestive heart failure. When she retains fluid around her lungs and heart, she can’t breathe. It puts a strain on her heart and lungs and she doesn’t get the oxygen she needs to her brain. But! The doctors and others say no way does she look 92! Mom always comes back with growing our own food chemically free. It isn’t just eating the healthier food but the act of gardening that has helped keep her alive. She is amazing!
your right you are lucky ❤
God bless you in keeping up the tradition. And please, talk with her as much as she can, so you can use this knowledge and pass it on. Ask her if this would make her happy. It might give her more will to live at the end.
I just think this is so beautiful
My brother destroyed all the work I did in my garden, on our family land, my fruit trees, berry bearing bushes, all so he can cut it down, and dig it out for grass in the backyard. I took care of my mother and the home for 25 years. I even prepared 6 full cords of wood for the family home, on pallets neatly stacked, and he threw it all in the trash. I warned him that the coming collapse, it would cause an electric loss of power and natural gas would no longer be pumped. Most homes do not have fireplaces or wood stoves, so without power you will freeze. I bought two wood burning stoves, all trashed by a fool!
I stocked up on canned food too, but he wants to rent it out, by way of Air BnB, he has never run any business, he can't keep a job beyond 2 months, he does not have his own home. He lives with a girlfriend, he has two kids that do not live with him.
Well I did my best for the whole family, my sister and her children too, all that work ruined, you can't help stupid people, who only care about using others, until there resources are gone!
Whether climate change is a thing is irrelevant. Its the money and power in government that will ruin your life. Thanks for speaking out
Sounds to me like Big Agriculture is trying to cut down on the backyard competition.
Climate change is a thing it's always been a thing it's allways been changing since the dawn of humanity. All this climate change freak out is just a massive grift and power grab that is used to crush regular people. They never talk about how much waging eternal wars or how their private jets/yachts affects the climate oddly. Just yr honda civic and the burger u ate.
@dustysmoke4996 yes and all the smaller farmers. Ask Bill gates wtf he is up 2.
Climate change is indeed real , and man responsible for the current acceleration, but the actual study does NOT advocate a cessation of backyard farming. See my comment that starts its own thread.
@@Monkeyboysdontknow is that why it was always “global warming” then when they couldn’t prove that the globe was actually warming they had to switch it to “climate change”

Ignore the corporate media and keep growing! Good on you brother!!
We should probably begin to move at least some of our shopping away from supermarkets and to small farms, market gardens, small local stores.

I will always be a gardener. I love it!! I do it for myself and share with my neighbors. There other large things that cause climate problems. Industry, large forest fires, farmers who use crazy chemicals on their crops. The small gardener can compare to that. Keep it up and I will too!

Make it make sense. It’s doesn’t. It’s about control and that’s it. I’m shocked the article admitted that farmers use pesticides etc. - that was the dumbest “logic” I’ve heard all week. It never ceases to amazing me at how DUMB they think we are! Glad you are doubling down!
The reason they think we're that dumb is because there are so many people that actually are. IMHO, the worst pandemic that has been faced in recorded history has been in the last decade, give or take a couple years, and spread like wildfire the last 4-5 years. It's a pandemic of stupidity. Symptoms include the loss of common sense, gullibility, diminished capacity for rational thought, and in some cases complete sheeple-ism.

I do appreciate your time and effort to go forward with your garden and explaining to the public what's up to the next-generation. Oregon its already limiting small farms to access water also asking people to build especific barns for animals that it over $100 k.
I was born and raised in a beautiful farm in Brazil, the only thing my family use to buy on market were salt, sugar and gasoline. The rest we use to provide at the farm
We have a public broadcaster television series called "Landline"
A few years ago they did a great story about a Queensland banana farmer who was doing conventional mono farming. He discovered he was having to spend more and more on pesticides. For some reason, (maybe illness, can't remember) he let the weeds grow between the trees. Pretty soon he saw a miraculous change in his crops - no more insect attacks. The "weeds" were bringing in beneficial insects and birds and insect eating animals. No more need for expensive insecticides. The ground cover also worked like a mulch so less watering. The farmer went further and diversified his crops and they all benefited from each other. Blessings, Eunice, Australia 🇦🇺
I saw that video, too.

Lately, I've been thinking more and more about how people lived and survived hundreds, even thousands of years ago. The same goes for how stuff grew. It was here long before man started cultivating, when they were just hunters and foragers, and it all grew up together.
I am starting to see similar myself (also AU, but VIC). This year I hurriedly threw in my tomato plants (I was so late), and only cleared the bed in a so-so fashion, so grass came back big time. Seems to work a lot like mulching. Looks messy, but hey, less watering!
I'm with you, Brian! Nothing is stopping me from growing healthy, organic food for my family.

I can think of seventeen reasons why the authors of this article STOP BACKYARD FARMING wont be around for much longer. Love your channel, you were the first one who taught me to use rock phosphate in the hole for tomato planting. I was the first one to start a very visible front yard raised bed garden on our street here in central NC, the garden literally attracted home buyers and now we have a garden community. Take Care!
your right, keep the good work up yo the people. Thank you again.
If people haven’t realized how upside down this world is yet, now when they want people to stop gardening and growing food, that should really show that OUR HEALTH is not their priority. How about these rich elites stop flying in private jets and living in mansions with a carbon footprint the size of a couple street blocks?
Also, Thank you for your message of welcoming people of all opinions. We have lost the ability to differ and still treat each other kindly and with humanity. ❤ We started gardening five years ago and we won’t ever stop. No one will ever convince me that growing a garden is bad in any way. It’s crazy talk.
Jets do a lot more than a couple blocks worth. One jet trip equals what one whole city does in a month.
@@kaycoats8344 a single Chinese factory outputs millions of tons of CO2 per HOUR. And they have thousands of factories that are nowhere near environmentally safe. But you and me can’t eat steak or take a road trip, god forbid our carbon footprint!! It’s a scam
Just the fact that you say carbon footprint shows you beleive the basic premise that they are basing their bullshit upon.
Even that is bullshit. Wake up. Where did all that carbon in fossil fuels come from?
Answer it was all in the atmoshpere. Plants turned it into hydrocarbons. Animals ate the plants. Animals and plants died and got buried.
If carbon dioxide was such an evil the earth would have been destroyed back then before thr carbon got made into fossil fuels wouldnt it?

Exactly. And we fight together.
Yep - a person who is willing and able to make and use there own garden shows some independent thinking, and therefore is less reliant on 'big brother'/'the system'.
That goes against the grain of those who want to control the masses.
Oh, brother. Another ignorant idiot. Our gardens (yes, I have one) are not ANY kind of threat to the "industrial" food producers. WE are a threat to the big organic farms - who can't price or "quality" compete NOW with the "industrial" farms. We're reducing demand for their products.
(And the "industrial" producers will never go away - at least unless and until about 70% of the population is killed off, and the cities are deserted.)
Please turn to Jesus before its too late. God loves you and so do I! God gave us gardening and the ability to feed ourselves. God literally gave us everything. Bit this life is just a test, can you have faith and be dedicated to Jesus or will you live for yourself or even worse worship the enemy. There is so much proof of God, over 2600 pieces of archeological evidence proving the existence of people, places and events in the Bible, over 500 pieces of archeological evidence supporting the RESURRECTION of JESUS CHRIST! On the scientific side there are thousands of examples pointing to intelligent design or GOD! Such as our little sun is the only one e we can see out of thousands that has a stable energy output! All the others vary so much that the Earth would be frozen or burnt to a crisp! Jesus loves you friends❤❤❤😊

Revelation is about the Emperor Nero. It's an irrelevant political screed. The gnostics were right. The serpent in the garden was god. The "god" character in the garden story is nothing more than a malevolent demiurge. A murderous entity with the emotional intelligence of a toddler. Lucifer is the true god. Just look at what god does compared to the alleged adversary. In the Bible Satan is accused of ~10 killings, while the guy portrayed as the good guy, god, kills EVERYONE in a flood, except for a seafaring zookeeper and his family who allegedly repopulated the planet with incest. Then he continues to kill everyone after making them suffer. If they don't follow his ancient, edited to death, impenetrable instruction manual, he kills you and then tortures you for all eternity, because he loves you so much.
There's so much in the Bible that directly demonstrates that the god character is the bad guy. There's slavery and killing children for disobeying you, and approval of rape... but of course there is. God created man and woman using magic, but when it was time for him to turn himself into his son so he could come to earth, to enact the longest running guilt trip of all time.... he impregnated a little girl instead of using magic. I wonder why. Mysterious ways, or a way to allow sexual assault by priests and other higher ups in the church?@@TheGr8erPurpose

Things like this are happening all over. In Arizona the resident near corporate farmland has empty wells so they have to travel to have water.
