RE: 🌱to💰- Growing Money In Your Yard Series Returns! Calling All Homesteaders & Green-Thumbs!
I am just starting out here on steemit, but I love the concept. It is a great idea. One thing I would like to add is that growing a garden of any size is dependent on conditions, like weather, daylight hours and soil conditions. Have you thought to separate some of the content into regions, or length of growing seasons? I ask because we are in a very short growing season here in Maine. 115 days or less. Some varieties of plants can't grow here without season extension implements/ buildings. There is quite a lot of information to disseminate, but I would be willing to speak/write to the area of the world I am in. Also Permaculture and no till gardening is what we practice, and I can speak to my experiences in this area.
I gave resources for how to plan, but the series has been geared more toward helping those who garden realize a profit. If more people are growing excess amounts of food, then there will be less hungry people. Trying to get everyone to grow a garden that has no interest in doing so is very difficult. I started this series as a way to help my fellow gardeners that if they grow a garden - they are growing money. Same goes for raising animals in many cases.
I think you are on the right track, however, in the spirit of expanding this series. I think having people in all regions would only benefit the abundance of knowledge and make information more 'refined' for various environments. My big 'push' is to help people understand that just because you grow 20lbs of food in a 10x10ft area - does not mean you can't grow 50-100lbs in the same space. We might think we are master gardeners, but there is always intensive garden practices that can exponentially increase production. And I'm not suggesting use of synthetics or non-natural practices either. It can be a simple process or a very complex one - that is the beauty of gardening. It's all about knowing what you grow and growing it well!
I think we could certainly collaborate @mhp. Welcome to Steemit and don't hesitate to hurl questions at me anytime, my friend.
