I thought about growing vegetables in order to better weather the coming crises which may be quite difficult, I thought about it a few months ago, but after learning how much I would have to learn, I thought, oh, all this information is spinning my head. Where should I start? What fertilizers to use, how not to overpay money and other resources? How to stretch soil fertility as long as possible and is it possible not to be physically exhausted in the process? Time is also running out.
Well, as a result, my brain subconsciously abandoned this idea, well, I was too used to a comfortable life and food from the supermarket. And so it has been for four months.
I know I’m pathetic. I haven’t even bought seeds yet.
Lots of great comments and advice here already so I won’t give you technical info. I’ll just say this, you’re going to learn the most by doing. Information here is helpful, sure, but actually making the mistakes you WILL make is a necessary and important part of the process. Fucking up is not failing, its learning. What type of space are you working with? Do you have the ability to prep via canning/dehydrating/freeze drying? I own and operate a small farm as a side business. So I can give some specific advice depending on your answers.
