Try to encourage people to grow something in their own yard ? Have a few egg laying chickens ?

Exactly! I have 30 hens and never a shortage of eggs. I have spent this summer in my garden and harvested over 400 lbs' of potatoes, several bushel of various beans, 100+ onions, Garlic, carrots, beets, lettuce, peas, peppers, over 100 cucumbers, bushels of tomatoes and melons. All on about a 10th of an acre of land. Saved enough to last all winter and gave away the rest. My goal this year was zero waste. I didn't fully do that but didn't waste much. God willing, I'll do the same next year + a batch of new chicks!

WOW, what a successful operation !

Ours is much smaller in size all around.

I feed my chickens the excess vegetable cuttings daily. They seem to love it, especially they love the tomatoes.

Mine love tomatoes also and cucumbers! Really not much they don't like! I freeze a lot of excess so they can also enjoy all winter.

I wonder where you live. I’m surrounded by farms in a southern portion of NJ. My garden is small, I only share with family and the neighbors on either side but I and the farmers in my area all struggled a bit this year with weather issues, and a variety of crop destroying insects and diseases.

They spray the skies daily with only God knows what (well I know a little from research and others testing) and I’m certain it affects the food we’re growing. Some of the chemicals they sprayed turned the kiddie pool red on the bottom and it doesn’t come out. It was only left outside for one rain. I’m certain what’s falling in that rain is bad news. There is evidence this is happening all over the country but more in certain areas; I happen to be in one of them. It’s all intentional to cause a food crisis and God is allowing it. It’s only the beginning.

I'm in Ohio and I have been studying and taking pictures of geoengineering for 15 years. I am well aware at what is in the sky and yes, it is falling on our food crops. I can't do much about that but I also know I add nothing chemical and poison to my garden. I work hard at improving my soil and mostly save my own seed or buy only organic or heirloom seed and plants. Might not be perfect but I guarantee you it is better and healthier than anything you buy at the grocery store.
