Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[<bob@4agoodauction.com>]

If you believe the food will run out simply plant in an unconventional method vegetables, beans, and grains people would not recognize. If you plant in a row you might loose it.  Arugula will grow wild here in Texas. You can eat cactus and it is every where I live. Mesquite beans are good with some amaranth. I like to spread all kinds of seeds in places just to see what will grow and sustain itself. I am always surprised. Even dent corn will do well spread around in wilderness areas if it has a bit of manure with it to start. Corn salads grow well in the wet areas and water spinach goes crazy in the black gumbo land in surprisingly dry conditions. Beans will climb old dead trees and thrive on the tree roots giving you a bumper crop you will need a ladder to pick unless you planted the yard long ones. Mushrooms are all over and around oak trees, Eat the ornamental cabbages at all the parks and office complexes. An amazing amount of milo and garlic grow in bar ditches out in the rural areas just start looking, Dandelions are a common weed but delicious. Poke salat very tasty young and yes it is spelled correct--tastes little like asparagus and looks a little like spinach (double boil and throw first water away). Don't forget lamb's quarters and dock. Taste some wild grass seed it will surprise you. Cat tails grow in all the water areas and you can eat the roots and the tops make flour. There is plenty to eat, it is just not as convenient. If you are hungry it will not be necessary to be convenient. So if you worry simply start spreading the seed. Just remember where you planted and go have lunch you cook up in your cardboard box aluminum foil oven solar oven while whittling out the triggers for rabbit traps. If you are worried gain more knowledge of what you can eat that grows around you.....where you can walk....  Bob C
