I notice a private school are watering their wicket. Oh the luxury of #collapse they have no idea.
This is the pinnacle of culture of homocolossus.
The exposure of the "Hunger Stone" are important signals that we have crossed a major and possibly unforseen or ignored threshold. The loss of glaciers means the loss of water to Europe's major rivers. This is #peakwater.
The #GlobalFamine is now under way. #SurvivalGardening combines pickling, with cropping/foraging. I like the Kimchi method. Lactosbasillus is a great preservative as long as you can sterilise your vessels.
Stockpile foods, learn to make them last. There are videos on YouTube.
Stockpile grains to eat:
Groats: slow cook in a wide neck flask over night with dry fruite or jerky. Very nutritious, makes possibility of using only kettle/kelly/ microscope & flask to cook. For X country travel.
Rolled oats: porridge/bread.
Rice mix varieties
Bulgar wheat
Wheat & barley. To grow & to mill.
Ideal equipment: flour mill, desicator.
Grey water irrigation & processing.
Working out options to get your house off grid and running on zero power for outages.
@kernowbeaver George Monbiots beliefs that the only viable agricultural model for vegetable production is the Marc Bonfils system of reptative cropping of grain with clover interplanted. He cites Ian Tollhursts 7Ha organic plot which provides a box scheme locally.
Thread..
Ian Tollhurst runs a 7 year rotation with this system. He adds composted woodchip to the clover planted fields primarily as a soil conditioner. He composts 400m3/year which is waste from local tree surgeons. In Ians own words
George Mombiots failure to mention the 400m3/year is either a mistake or intentional. I haven't been able to work out which and he won't engage on it on Twitter. He claims Ian Tollhurst read his manuscript and approved it.
