Gardening is for old farts

in gardendiary •  2 years ago  (edited)

Actually no. it's not. That's what I used to think tho and probably what a lot of young people still think. So I've been wondering how to make it more interesting. Give it some welly (as we say in Yorkshire).

In this world we've built around us now it turns out that growing your own food is one of the most revolutionary things you can be doing.

After all who trusts Bill Gates to feed us anything nutritional let alone SAFE? If you think that's bad you haven't been paying attention to what has been slowly going on already. Most of the food you buy in a supermarket is all already owned by just a few big corporations like Unilever.

Remember this old meme?

So ok lets say growing food is not for old fogeys and maybe not so boring BUT another thing that puts people off is they don't know the first thing about it. None of us were taught how to do it. That's a crime in itself I'd say. Something they don't want us to know? Yeh. How to not need nanny state to spoonfeed us their Soylent Green, or to be be more up to date - bugs.

As for eating bugs it's pretty obvious they are just gaslighting the meat-eaters and looks like they're falling for it. I've gone off on a tangent oops.

So is gardening for pansies? Well according to the fear-mongers no. We are hardcore facing imminent death from soil.

Wrong kind of gardening snooze peeps. That IS a picture of a granny weeding her flowers beds. Look at that LAWN (yawn), you could get a ton of veg in that sad waste of space.

Is growing food boring then? NO!!
It is challenging, puzzling, infuriating, messy, fascinating, glorious......anything but boring.

Things you will learn along the way - patience, endurance, organizational skills, design, science, herbology, genetics and breeding. There is nothing more satisfying than nurturing from seed to plate and then feeding yourself and even your taste buds and belly will be shocked and delighted.

Gardening/growing has come a long way since the 70's and the so-called 'green revolution' which was anything but 'green' by todays standards. We now have swapped chemical fertilizers, mono-cropping and giant combine harvesters for No-Dig, Heugel-kultur, Permaculture, Forest Gardens, Guerilla Gardening and even seed bombing-Fukuoka style.

The final excuse I often hear is 'but I don't have a garden'. Yes that is a bit of a bummer. The only thing you can do then is organize a community garden. Every building has a community 'green space' so get organizing to turn it into a veg patch.

I don't want to hear anymore of this moaning about 'ze bugs'. if you expect them to feed you you will lose. This is war and it's time to get out your pitch forks and fight back BY GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD!!
Gardeners are anarchists!!!

Gardeners are 'GANGSTA' too -

Replying here , your last post for tech help does not seem to have a reply function .

Made a comment with a embedded bitchute video link on Blurt.live ,.. same result , i am afraid your post is lost , and i don't know what your last post is doing , but it's buggy and broken on all front ends .

And i have no clue as what happened to good customer service ?

( but i do know powering down is considered childish behavior ) ;-)

Well that is most strange isn't it. One could get quite paranoid about this. The no reply function is extremely odd!!! WTF is going on??

The bug has something to do with the bitchute link to embed a video , don't worry , it's nothing targeted , just a bug you found . A bug we could use to bring down Blurt , if we wanted to ,.. just joking , ill bet the techies are working on it . ;-)

oh so I hacked blurt? lol
Why hasn't anyone answered my pleas? Oh and why can't I see my post in the general feed too? The post about this problem.

I still can't get to that post without getting logged out , logging in makes me return to my feed page . It could be because i made a test comment on it including a bitchute link for a embedded video . Doing that made the screen go blank and crash Blurt .

Have no clue why the tech team isn't reacting ,.. could they have gone on a emotionally mute spree on anyone slightly supportive to a certain artic creature ? Or did they loose it and are now staring at softly patched walls ? ;-)

well , let's spread and test some more with some random bitchute link's and tag them to some techies ,.. let's see if i can mess up some trending parts on here , aldo i think it is more a users end problem messing up the browser app used to connect to Blurt . Clearing some caches in the browser might solve it if that is the case .

To bad you lost your post do ,.. somewhere stuck in the gears of the chain .

Yeh shame it was a doozy but can't remember what I wrote now exactly. I do know the source of the post tho so can redo. Just a pain. I've tried the method Leifasaur gave so not sure how to do it different.
Are you going around making more mischief? Can you hold off till they sort me out please hahaha

Are you going around making more mischief?

I never ,... me innocent ,...

Don't worry , i gave my info to a techie in a friendly comment .
As this bug is really bad for a good Blurt experience . ;-)

That is true and I do keep nagging about embedding of any other channel but bloody youtube which is heavily censored. Free speech and all that. Not a great blurt experience nope.

Right now I am staying at my brothers. My man and I am working hard on convincing him to let us create a garden. It's baby steps. First he allowed us to have a piece of the front yard. There we are maintaining the garden in the second year. Learned a lot since last year.
This year we persuaded him to have a herb corner and tomatoes in the back yard.
My brothers house I see as a refuge if times will toughen up. He owns our parents home.
I see a long way before us and if shit hits the fan earlier, we will be screwed, for we did not gain enough knowledge nor seeds nor other preparations to have a fully functioning garden, let alone doing all the other prep work in conserving foods.

The neighbors here also are far behind, there was no copy of gardens which did it right from the beginning. Even yesterday, when I was digging myself through the front yard to get rid of some of the too dominant plants, a man stopped and complained about the side walk next to the house. It looked "ugly" to him and what he meant were the little plants coming through the bricks. Sigh.

Nevertheless I love to do garden work and it gives me the most satisfaction even though I am exhausted, even pissed by some of the works. But then, after having it done, it's the best.
Yeah, I got you, gardeners are rebells, HaHa! I like your slogan also. Very marketing!

Did you watch the video at the end. Very inspiring especially in your case maybe.

the killer heart disease is most likely caused by the toxins applied to that pristine lawn.

I actually did look into where the idiot media got that from and it turned out to be a paper about how depleted soil in Africa gets blown across the world (as we know) and can cause a kind of pollution. You can be breathing in dead 'soil' and we all know how they killed that soil so yes your original idea is kind of true but not hahahaha

When covid came around and some jurisdictions said that plant nurseries and plant related stores were "not essential" I knew for a fact that they were purposely hurting the agricultural industries mom and pop farmers and smalltime gardeners.

When the government says not to plant food... You should probably start planting food.

CORRECT. Always do the exact opposite of what ur gubbermunt tells you ;-)

I love that guy, he's one of the big guerrilla gardeners out there doing it!! He's a leJ
Yeh and he is cyoool
Had not seen his TED talk tho, only his YT stuff.
"Growing your own food is like printing your own MONEY"
Wow if that doesn't sell this I dunno what will.
Another great quote -
"The funny thing about sustainability is you gotta sustain it".
Great talk.
When I live on a boat I had no garden so I planted on the towpath knowing that I would not be there to harvest what I'd planted because you have to move every 2 weeks. That was before I even knew about guerrilla gardening.

Once they have the supply chains ground to a halt and make most farming illegal the only chance will be learning to grow food that isn't readily apparent it's food to most folks. Until then folks need to start growing as much as they can. Then secure it somewhere so no mobs can come take it.

Don't mention farts !

.....methane is everywhere !

LOL good point.
I spose penguin farts are full of roses and sunshine so you're safe.

That's the spirit!
grow it, eat it, meme it!

The industrialised world is very fragile. How many people still have any land at all? Here in Asia it is telling that any economic downturn, many people flee back to their villages. It may not be a sophisticated existence, but older folks will remember a time without running water or electricity.

For me, really shows how far down the drain we have gone that we have to think in these terms.

The globalists dream, coming full circle...(and collapsing in on itself at the same time).

I see much better times ahead for everyone - once we've 'cleaned house' of all this nonsense from the last 80-100 years......
(not saying it won't be very tumultuous, and might take some time, but it will turn out better...eventually)

For some who can't see it I'm afraid it has to get much worse before it can get better. My trigger is set to high sensitivity and I started getting out in 2010.
As for going back to the village, the covid cull got rid of a lot of those old folks who knew how to live without those creature comforts we all think are owed to us but also many will have inherited at least a house with some garden. It's up to them to use it wisely.

The kovid-scam worked in different ways in different countries - once the Western world-view is crushed, the rest will be easy, so no need, as yet, to the cull the already-sheep.

NOt sure what you mean by this so can't agree or disagree 🤔
