Last year - or earlier - was a good time to start planting your #victorygarden.

It takes time.

While I agree that everyone should have a garden if they can, it doesn't solve the root problem.

Home gardens need fertilizer too. In the US non-organic chicken litter is up by about 30% at the wholesale level, retail will likely follow soon.

Good home gardens tend to make great produce, but not a steady supply.

Staple grain production is difficult to impossible at small scale...you really can't get enough calories off a small plot to feed a small family.

I’ve got lots of fertiliser. Fresh, from the source.

We’ve had people travel 45 minutes to fill up buckets with #Alpaca droppings for their gardens.

Helpfully, alpacas pick a single spot in the paddock & use that as their toilet, making access to droppings easy for those who want it.

@John

That's convenient to say the least. We don't have anything that easy at our farm yet.
I'm hoping that next year we can get a maturing shed built so we can buy bulk chicken litter and horse crap.

In Oz, #chicken poop is commonly called #DynamicLifter after the company #Yates marketed it that way.
