Survival Garden

[Justin Case]

This is an idea that makes a lot of sense for anyone who has some land or has access to land. IMO this is perfect for a rural BOL. This might even work in a suburban setting. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

The attempts my friends have tried did not work. Animals get everything. May be better to plant an invasive food source that the animals will not knock out. Maybe sun chokes or ground nut. Plus there are a ton of edible wild foods out there already.

Research edibles the critters don't like. I planted black eyed peas and corn. Deer ate all the corn
Ears but hardly touched the peas. Must be Yankee deer. Organic gardeners have used
strategic planting to keep animals at bay for years. Can't cite details but I bet you can
Google it.

A friend bought thorn bushes and rose bushes and put around his garden then built a gate to access it. His issues mostly went away. He still had issues with squirrel and rabbits but bigger game don't get in now.

He is talking out his ass about something he has never tried to do himself.

The cat that walked by would give more nourishment than his pretend garden.

No I didn't watch the whole video. 30 seconds at the start then clicked to the middle. That is where I saw the cat, nuff said

If you do remote, then protect it with a Gallagher Food Plot Protector Fence and you will still need to go tend it.


If I owned that plot, I would plant wild Ginseng and harvest 100k in 7-10 years.

A rabbit fence inside the rose hedge might help...with bunnies not squirrels. Also might be good to plant
native or "wild " edibles like pokeweed, yucca, and non poison sumac. Seasonal nutrition at best.
Add some white oaks and pau-pau trees for the future.
