You have done a lot of great videos and have excellent things to say and teach. However, this is working for everybody with a house…a big one I guess. I am in Bulgaria and live in an apartment building. Pretty much none of the stuff will work for me. Maybe I have to relocate, but in the meantime I am thinking and thinking and nothing comes to my mind in terms of a solution that is close to what you are teaching.
@MrEnergyCzar
It doesn’t negate your efforts though. There are many reasons to get off the grid aside from the looming energy crises and being able to feed ourselves is at the crux of this equation. You’ve done a lot to help your fellow man become aware and prepared. As the elitist criminals continue to ruin our home for personal gain it is important that you share your work and methods with the world. Thanks again!
@ddamyanov Date a farmer or establish community connections that will give you better access to local food supplies…
Love the videos!!!! Where did you get the raised beds? Thanks again for the great work!!!
@jbwilliams1971 I just googled under google images “raised cedar planters” and you’ll see them. Pretty easy to build too…thanks
@MrEnergyCzar Just finished building one! Thanks!
@SensiBleu While some still desire to believe in abiotic oil, but much of science has moved past that after they figured out ho petroleum was created. BP was drilling to & into a formation that was know to be there before they commenced drilling. As always they can’t know all the characteristics of formation until it’s explored
Awesome!
Your a smart man. People shake their heads at me when i tell them food will not always be so cheap. I hope i live long enough to see our planet exhaust its energy supply.. will be a great day.. ill have turrets and dogs protecting my gardens from the ignorant fools too dependent on societies easy ways.
great survival facilities!
but who pays it?
@muthich the meals I don’t eat out pay for it. Definately somewhat of a sacrifice but wouldn’t change it…
This is a great series, I especially enjoyed the tour around your energy saving house, you are clearly well-read it would be good to hear your opinion on current topics via some vlogs perhaps – quicker than typing!
are u really able to feed yourself with only the food u grow in that little garden… i mean don’t get me wrong, u seem to have a larger lot than the average person, but r u really able to grow that much food?
Do you have asphalt shingles? If so, are you worried about ruining the organic garden with water from the oil based shingles?
@amusingisthedawn Great question. I’m worried about what is in the actual rain that falls from the sky. I’m not worried about the rain barrel water because I water the plants with a very small percentage of water coming from the rain barrels as I live in a rainy area anyway. I also don’t have a roof with asbestos (pre-1980), herbicide/moss killer roof, or cedar shake roof with copper or arsenic. If you live in a dry climate and rely just on the roof you can do a slow sand filter or diverter
@MrEnergyCzar There are some great how-to videos on first-flush systems with filters (basically used for grey water systems mainly), but if you have an asphalt roof no matter how clean the water is from bird droppings/leaves/etc. it is water I wouldn’t drink unless I ran it through a katadyne or berkey. That being said…I would be afraid it would mess with the PH of the soil as well as contaminate it…even if it is a small PPM of actual petroleum in it. Supplementing with it is not AS bad
Hello my friend
Thank you for your invitation, and my sincere congratulations on your magnificent idea to grow some vegetables this way, I think its an excellent idea, and also his way of taking advantage of all this empty lot, with all these magnificent plants thus giving a wonderful embellishment to all your space, I love farming, I appreciate this and give her magnificent idea! congratulations.

I love this video.
Would you mind make longer videos about home vegetable and or herbs garden too?
Thank you very much for sharing.
To get 2100 calories from vegetables you could eat 2 pounds of each of the following: broccoli, cauliflower, onion, potato, carrot and cucumber. That’s twelve pounds of veggies in one day. Or…you could just eat 35 pounds of those delicious lettuce varieties. Fat and sugar is where most calories come from.
Peak oil and veggies???
Very smart to raise them up…protect the back… in must be incredible to just go out on your deck and pick a fresh organic salad…
You must feel good knowing that you learned the skill of actually growing food. It’s a lost art.
What a beautiful garden!
Thanks for sharing- Love the set up and different edibles! I know you have put lots of time and energy into this.. Im sure it was yummy too!
