    Hi, I have a question on your potatoes. I’m in S. Calif., so hopefully I can have success growing them now (in November). I have a potato plant just sticking it’s first “leaves” or whatever out of the ground.

    Am I supposed to cover that with straw, or compost? And how many times do I keep covering?

    Thanks for your consideration,

    now you just have to keep starving people from eating all of your food.

    America is going back to its roots. A bunch of fit people digging and planting and cutting. Yeah , I love it. That is how you get good sex.

    Man ; That was great advice. JUST, don’t be ashamed to give GREAT advice. That urin thing, Excalint. Amonia in small amounts works great for plants. Just wish I had thought of it. Thank you for this video.

    You are wonderful. I am doing exactly what you and so many are doing- we cannot continue to sustain an oil-run world. I am learning to garden. I work with my local nursery, and have joined a co-op. My goal is to be 70-80% self-sufficient in a few years. I live in Southern Calif. so that should be feasible.

    We all have to do it.

    great video. Would you like to exchange ideas? I’ve had good success fixing nitrogen into water useing bacertia and fish. Also bat houses are a great way to turn bad bugs into valuble gueno.

    please also consider using using your roof . it gets plenty of sunlight and is a quality amount of space. also utilize the space of any neighbors or friends you can talk into it. even if you have to do thier work yourself.

    Great video. Gardening your own food is great. My garden is fairly large and I plan on expanding it. You’re right about needing to learn how to sustain yourself.
