I just finished an article in Mother earth news about homesteaders that are off the grid, which means that they use zero electricity.They also grow or buy from local markets only preserving the cheaper available food.What a way to live.With my small 10'x10' garden we have been eating some fine produce since the begining of july and the flavor is amazing.
This economy is so bad in Va ,and everywhere else I imagine ,that it seems to me that growing some of your own food ,rain permiting , is the way to go.
Do you think that our local and fed gov't should be pushing americans to do just that.Something like Victory gardens like wwII?
