How to Get Started Growing Your Own Preppers Garden

-

Wouldn't it be great to walk into your backyard, or onto your balcony and harvest part of your meal, without going to the grocery store and coming out, at least, $50 poorer. 

Start a Survival Garden on Your Balcony or in Your Backyard

A survival garden can be more than just a hobby, it can also be a guaranteed, inexpensive food supply. 

If you want to begin growing your own food, start with high yield, easy-to-grow crops like:

  • potatoes
  • beans
  • carrots 
  • and leafy greens. 

You can also grow herbs - on your window sill - for both flavor and for use as a natural remedy and as natural medicine*. 

If you have the space:

  • learn how to compost your food scraps 
  • collect rainwater, to keep your garden watered when the weather is hot and dry. 

Grow a Garden Even It You Live in An Apartment

It is entirely possible to grow a small garden, even if you live in an apartment. Plants can be grown in containers and to get a larger variety, yo can use the vertical system.

Don't Wait Until the Last Minute

Get some practice in now, before things get bad, don't wait until your are in crisis-mode to get  started.

 Collecting seeds (from the vegetables you eat) may take a few months, and gardening skills take seasons to master.

Get everything you need - as well as: 

  • collect containers
  • learn which vegetables grow best together 
  • learn which vegetable should be kept apart
  • prepare the soil 
  • and get other needed supplies.

 

In a true crisis, your garden may be the only grocery store you can count on.

*this is not medical advice. 😁
