One thing I hear so many successful people in the food production world say almost every time one of them speaks is “grow at least some of your own food”.  The problem is the only solution they usually provide is something like, “even if it is just some herbs in a window”.

Now don’t get me wrong, as you will see today I think growing some herbs is a great idea but I also see it as one and only one step in making a meaningful contribution to your diet and life though growing your own food.  What I tried to put together today is a blueprint, damn near step by step to grow a signifigant amount of food that will work for almost anyone.

Anyone with anything approaching a lot, even postage stamp in size will be able to do all or at least most of it.  Even some apartment and town home type dwellers will be able to do much of it.  In the end though much will require a bit of land, but not much and none of it will cost a huge amount of money either.

Join Me Today to Discuss….

• Let’s go back not so long ago when almost everyone did some of this
• Why this really is important right now
• Ten simple things you can do to produce some of your own food and lifestyle needs
  1. Grow these three herbs in your landscaping, Lemon Balm, Mint and Bee Balm
  2. Grow beans any where you have anything that will work as a trellis (pole/runner/long/etc)
  3. Grow a long storing easy large squash like tromboncino
  4. Learn 4-6 plants you can locally forage
  5. Find a place you can catch edible fish and go a couple times a month or more
  6. Raise quail or other poultry and/or rabbits
  7. Build a small hydro system and grow basil, arugula and a few types of lettuce
  8. Build a slightly more involved herb garden with herbs like chives, oregano, parsley, etc.
  9. Compost your food waste, even in a very passive manner
  10. Plant a few fruit trees or bushes
  11. Consider adding some aquaculture if it is possible
• These ten steps will do far more than you likely think
• Twenty years ago was a good time to start but now is going to have to do
