What type of seeds are reproducible? Are they called heirloom seeds? I need to get some. Thanks
Honestly I don't know of a source, you may want to look for books that feature Amish or Mennonite techniques for farming. However, I'm not sure that those methods are 'more efficient' than many modern methods that can be used by home gardeners. You may want to look at the current issue of MOTHER EARTH NEWS, it has a story about a family that produces THOUSANDS of POUNDS of produce on 1/10th of 1 acre. I know they blow away my 1 acre garden in terms of productivity, but then my garden is typically laid out for ease of harvest rather than maximum production. I've not seen primitive farming use modern raised beds, and raised beds, while very low tech, increase productivity. Modern, yet low tech, mulching techniques also increase productivity of a garden.Where is a good source for this? I am thinking it might be good thing to learn. If for nothing more than making my garden more efficient.
Heirloom seeds refer to OLD varieties that are not commonly commercially cultivated. Heirloom varieties seeds can be saved for use. However there are ALSO many non-heirlooms that can also be harvested and saved. ANY of the NON-HYBRID varieties of seed can be harvested and saved and then used the next season.What type of seeds are reproducible? Are they called heirloom seeds? I need to get some. Thanks

Good point.Up in my neck of the woods they have old time farm days about every summer. You get to come out and watch them work with horses and such.
