Survival Garden

Posted by admin under Garden

Everyone has to buy food but you can benefit both monetarily and health wise from growing your own either in a garden or in containers indoors. For just a few dollars, you’ll be able to save hundreds or perhaps thousands. Don’t be dissuaded if you’ve never done it. Nature can take care of most of it for you. After all, things have been growing without our help for a long time. Some sites are daunting with all of the information out there but basically you need to dig a hole, plant a seed and water. (Seed packs display instructions also.)

You may have heard of heritage or heirloom seeds, which are simply seeds from plants that are passed down from back around 50 years ago or more when food didn’t taste like the container that they come in, not to mention the greater health benefits. They will not be genetically modified as some that you may buy in stores or online today.

If you search online, you’ll locate many companies offering these types of seeds.

Note: It may be necessary to “hide” your plants to avoid thievery when it all hits the fan. Look for this to be a problem very soon. Try spreading your plots out in indiscrete areas around your house or even in public areas. Most people don’t know what a potato or carrot plant looks like and won’t mess with them.

Garden Seeders

Posted by admin under Garden

Garden seeders are mechanical tools that do the planting of seeds for the vegetable farmer.  Whether vegetable farming is a hobby or a livelihood, planting large tracts of land is hard even for the veteran farmers. There are people who love vegetable gardening and will cultivate any available land to plant anything they desire. These are the hobbyists who are not really interested in the produce or the profit derived from the planting. In contrast to this are the hardcore farmers whose livelihood has always been farming, and have loved farming as their way of this life.  Whether hard core or hobbyists, when the area to be planted is big enough to entail laborious efforts, these farmers will need garden seeders to plant seeds.

Seeders are not expensive tools and are priced within the means of gardening enthusiasts. A good brand like the Earthway 1001-B Precision Garden Seeder costs less than a hundred dollars.

The benefit that the seeders can give to the farmer is big compared to the small price he pays for the machine. The seeder can plant seeds at an incredibly faster speed than manual planting. The depth of planting is maintained at a uniform level and distance between planted seeds is made constant by the seeder.
