I have to admit, the amount of time and money I put into my garden is break even at best. But I do what I can to feed the local deer.

I agree. A garden is hard work. I put mine in this year and didn’t even take into account it’s carbon footprint. I guess I’ll get the tractor out and till it under before I do anymore damage.

Carbon foot print? STFU!!!

I agree, gardening from an economic status is mostly a negative. The reason we still do it, is the flavors can not be matched from store bought, gardening is cheap therapy, we enjoy canning.

We live in a poor place for a garden and the critters like what we produce. So, we plant onions and potatoes in the garden and other things in buckets near the house.

a garden is meant to be joyful, rewarding work plus the bonus of having FRESH Veggies every day during the summer months....

buying locally ensures that at least one knows the farmer, and if one wanted could find out the farming practices....

and most of all, BIG farms are run by BIG BUSINESS and very rich people like Gates....

I don't want to support them...
