For most of the US this cold blast will be the last and it will be time to start getting our hands dirty. I have a 12 acre farm that fully supports my family and leaves plenty left over for storage and the future. While I'm biased a bit, I think it's time to bring back victory gardens.
Get out there, dig in the dirt, and plant some seeds.
Feel free to ask advice here!
Start small if you have to. I have a clear plastic bin that I am going to use to grow small greens. Saw the video on TG a while back. Couple of bags of soil, cut out the plastic(bag of soil for clarification, using the bag as the pot)in a square leaving 4 inch or so strip around the edge. Lay the bag in the lid of the bin, plant some seeds, water and put the bin part over it like a greenhouse. I'm going to try this before I have to build a raised garden. Soil is terrible, no way to plant in the ground.
Check out Back To Eden documentary, they rehabilitate soil with wood chips and some compost
