    Of course we will travel again vaccine free whether they like it or not. They made the attack first, they should watch out for the counter attack.

    This family in Ontario, Canada have taken the ancient technique of Chinampa and have created a food forest out of what would usually be limited land space.

    The entire video is fascinating but for talk about food forests and Chinampas, it's best to watch from 7.44 to 9.12.

    Unbelievable, vegetables transported across state lines are often sprayed with pesticides, even organic!

    One lazy way for growing food everywhere is planting/sowing vegetables & fruit etc. , which are indigenous to the country. Then grow some of them till they produce seeds. The seeds resow themselves without the need to do anything and pretty soon the whole space/garden is full of all types of different vegetables, herbs etc, which resow themselves.

    Seedballs is an ancient method that won't require ploughing the soil, it is simple and effective.

    ps.: the video posted by Constance is one of the best I ever watched, thanks for that. They did an amazing work, I wish we could have more people and places like that.

    Do you guys know about aquaponics? ^^
    Its a self sufficient system with a simple water circuit, fish, and some filters. And what it does is to mimic the natural course of water. I read somewhere it was extensively used in Syria, being put on top of the buildings at the time of war. Its surely a good alternative for those with small or no land available.

    This is just a small basic article i found, but wider info is easily available out there.

    yes good for those with limited space. But if there is enough space, I'd say its not natural it simply mimics nature. Growing land based plants in water is no way natural. Plants will lack the micro minerals that is only found in natural soil. Plant in AP simply looks good because there is more nitrates from fish poop. Also its labor intensive if you have an small system. And yes, takes time to balance the system.
