Save Money, Grow More Food: Learn to Graft
 PREVIEW

Spring is in the air here in Appalachia. The sap is flowing, and the buds are swelling on the fruit trees, which means it’s grafting season. There are many types of grafting techniques for many plants, but we will be discussing “whip and tongue” for simplicity’s sake. This is the most common and the one…

To build our gardening knowledge and to potentially increase production, we need to recognize the importance of record keeping when it comes to growing our own food.

How To Grow Onions, Garlic, and Shallots
by Samantha Biggers

The Allium family contains some of the easiest plants to grow in a raised bed, row, or even a container. At the same time, there are a few basic things you need to be aware of to have success and grow a bountiful crop that will store well. Although it may not be the right time of year to plant some of the delicious alliums I am going to talk about, it is essential that you consider what you want to grow in the future and buy your seed or starts as soon as a company will accept a pre order. Many suppliers of garlic and shallot start to sell out before it is time to plant. The economic time we are facing and worker shortages have made it even more critical to pre-order now for fall planting.

Planning Your Spring Garden
by Samantha Biggers

Despite the frigid temperatures in many parts of the country, Spring is just around the corner. And with it: the return to gardening.

Planning out your Spring garden can bring some joy and light to your life while temps are still low. Seed companies have already sent out a lot of catalogs to help inspire.

Current economic conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic make it likely that we’ll see seed shortages again later in the growing season. If you want to grow a garden in 2021, it’s advisable to start securing your seeds as soon as you can.

Gardening and Integrity
by Chris Martenson

A great reskilling movement to go along with a back to the land movement, all driven by the twin realizations that not only is there an expiration date on the consumer culture but there’s a better life to be had too.  One that is more connected, more fulfilling, and more satisfying.

Evie and I are already living that dream, as are many of you, and we feel like it’s time to bring that to the world.  This video is one of our ‘rapid prototypes’ towards that aim.

What I don’t put out in public, besides my daily reminder to “start a garden,” is that I foresee a particularly strong possibility that things will get a lot worse before they get better.

Social unrest, increases in crime, and food shortages — dangers like that.

So to shield myself and those I care about, the biggest new initiative I’m undertaking in my own personal life is…. (Enroll now to continue reading)

Why Gardening Starts With Growing Good Soil
by Adam Taggart

Whether you’re new to gardening or not, your success is rooted (pardon the pun) in appreciating that to grow healthy plants you first need to grow healthy soil.

Perhaps the top soil experts in the world are Paul and Elizabeth Kaiser, owners and operators of Singing Frogs Farm — world famous for their nature-based yet innovative approach to farming, in which no tilling of any kind is done to the soil. No pesticide/herbicide/fungicide sprays (organic or otherwise) are used. And the only fertilizer used is natural compost.

To help direct and inspire your efforts to get your coronavirus garden off to the right start, here’s an 8-minute clip of the Kaisers presenting at our last seminar, showing what’s possible when you focus on growing good soil.

 Prep Now for the Coming Winter Challenges
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the needs and sustainability of our family. We have six young children, our oldest just turned 12 and our youngest just turned 3 months old.
