If you live in a "Food Desert" it's your own *^@%# fault!

Food desert? I live in a desert but not a food desert. Supposedly a neighborhood where good nutrition can not be found in the stores, is a food desert, right? Well do you have at least 4 square feet of ground where you can plant a garden? I personally use tractor tires and call it gardening in the round, L.O.L. The tires will likely last longer than I will and come in a variety of sizes and depths.

It's called Square Foot Gardening (SFG) you can learn all you need to know on their foundation website http://www.squarefootgardening.com/ This is a high intensity, easy, low labor way to grow your own food like our ancestors have been doing for years. Maybe your to young to remember the Victory Gardens from the years of the world wars. Gardening has changed, new methods yeald much higher quantities and qualities of food from small areas of garden. The author just published a new improved book, I picked a copy up at the local public library to review. It's well worth the $20.00 asking price.

But you live in an apartment you say? Ok so go vertical check out an even newer idea for growing your own Window Farming http://www.windowfarms.org/ . So if your thinking it might be a good idea to take your savings out of stocks and bonds and 401Ks consider how hard it might be for you to eat those when the store shelves are empty. The first place I'll put my money is into seeds, seeds that will grow food my family can eat.

I guarantee if I have extra food and someone with silver or gold is hungry I'd be willing to trade food for silver and we'll both walk away happier. While serving on my mission in Winfield Louisiana much of the town became the property of the local grocer as he would trade food for what ever people had, property, labor, etc. Is there work involved? Yes. will it be worth it? Yes. Can you do it? Yes. When should you start? Now.

God bless you. Pray for our countries sovereignty, security, freedom, and prosperity. Pray for those who are standing up for our God given Constitutional Government and do all you can to vote people in in two weeks that will safeguard that Constitution. Our fathers fought for the freedom's we enjoy, the least we can do is seek out those that will preserve it as it will take blood in the streets to restore our freedoms once lost.
