small garden help

Eh can't that turn into illegal area slurping, or eh our back yard has 0.5m mud, so that would be 3 years max, grass is way better.

Oh pottery,.... Ohyeah

I want to make my small backyard into a veggie garden. What do I do and what should I plant for a family of 2.

I don't know what the fuck I am doing btw. Probably just wasting my time.

mhpgardener on youtube has a wealth of information. Everything from hydroponics to regular gardening. If you can get heirloom seeds, get them. Learn all you can about saving the seeds for next year. There are a lot of videos on youtube about this.

It is something that will always be valuable to know. And you will be surprised at how much you can grow in a small area if you make a plan. It is also relaxing.

Expensive and takes years to cultivate.

Raised beds, soil, sand, peat, quality seeds, hydroponics growing system for seeds, a year of time for the plants to take and start producing, watering supplies hoses with attachments, rakes, spades, critter protection, bug problem solvers, nosey neighbors, heat solutions, wheelbarrows. and then replacement soil, sand, peat.

Better to get chickens. If they are a pet you can keep them in the city. But chicken poop smells bad and hawks will try to eat them.

Pretty nice, still an headache... More on the right side where my right ear is, but fine for the rest, I even had more money over today then that I normally do /:

it is not a good idea to give people shit info in times like this

gardening is not hard and not expensive if you have some common sense

the more people that plant a garden will relieve pressure on the system down the road for all the tards

No shit. Everything she typed sounds like utter BS or disinfo. "years to cultivate?" Is she growing grapes and orchards, or just a dumb teenage city slicker who's never walked on a patch of grass?

Pick a spot 5 feet by 5 feet and turn the soil.

Shovel full by shovel full just turn the grass upside down to kill it. You'll begin to get an understanding of how much work you're about to get into.

Think of danielson waxing the car...WAX ON...WAX OFF!

start small. Raised beds, even growing in 5 gal pails sunk 1/2-2/3rds in ground. Holes drilled in bottoms of buckets

Grow only what you know you will eat.

start small, otherwise you will be overwhelmed and see no production.

Potatoes are a good start. Peas and lettuces can be planted already in the southern half of the country.

I am a non-gardener who has never done enough to get good at it. My go-to plan is...

The Square Foot Garden.

IMO, there is no better beginner method out there. The info is older, yes, but tried-and -true. The author went all around the world in his later years to teach developing countries how to build this very simple garden.

The Square Foot Garden was developed by an engineer. It is a turn-key method, a true step-by-step guide to “making vegetables” in your yard. Focuses on small-space situations also. You only need a 4 x 4 plot (or less, really!) to grow.

E-text $11.95. Probably a regular ebook somewhere. I am not tech savvy.

There are a LOT of knock-offs of this method, as it works and has been around awhile. But I think his book is still the best, has been used in every imaginable situation, and he DOESN’T OVERCOMPLICATE EVERYTHING. This is where I was always getting lost!

This is what I am working on today, actually.

Nutritionists say greens are an important nutrient benefit. It is what I use most. Lettuces grow, and you can cut what you need as you go. They keep growing, and you just cut another salad tomorrow. And you have a usable crop prey quickly! Plant enough to harvest some as “baby greens” and keep some to grow to maturity later. Kale and collards too. You can grow kale and collards in hot weather too, surprisingly.

Really, look at his stuff. It was written for the people like me who have never done this before. Good luck!
