  • price of soil = compost + dirt = free….
    or a few bucks for pre made soil….
    price of water?
    what tools?
    use an old milk jug with holes poked in the top for a watering….
    a hand trowel is like 50 cent at a thrift shop… and could be substituted with a good stick….
    a pot to hold the plant is free… or you could make a gardening box with a couple planks of wood….

    i’ve grabbed live but sick tomatoes plants from the trash at a gardening store, came with soil and a pot… i just added water and had the best tomatoes of my life….
    2/ 8 plants died quickly and i planted herbs in those pots…. made pizza….
    cost about $1.00 in tap water total… (tap water should sit in an open container a while before using to neutralize the chlorine).

    spent a few minutes watering it every once in a while….

    check your math, bruh

    also he worked with wikileaks… i think he was named as a source posthumously…

    he also wrote an open source system of servers that function exactly like wikileaks submission system (actually i think it is, given clues as to how it operates… like the manning chat logs)
    dead drop is now called “open drop” and powers every major newspaper’s leak submission system…

    he was murdered.

    not only the did it make no sense, given the 6 month plea bargain option, but he was an outspoken activist and would’ve at least left a note… in the form of some post online…



  • lol, fine

    But how do you know that industrial farming won’t ever be as nutritious/delicious as homegrown?

    that’s just the nature of the beast. crops aren’t rotated, the soil is artificially bolstered with junk fertilizers and pesticides.
    things are harvested before they’re ripe, and then ripen on the semi-truck…
    it’s just not nearly as good…
    go try some home grown, organic, actually fresh food.

    How would you fall back on your own garden in case of a nuclear catastrophe? Wouldn’t your soil just be as contaminated?

    sea lion, it doesn’t have to be nuclear… it’s obviously better to have a garden in any catastrophe… in recent memory, shortages from covid…
    if it were nuclear, no i’m hypothetically staying where i am because it wasn’t contaminated… ffs

    What are your arguments against GMO crops apart from all the obvious economic reasons?

    Roundup/ glyophosphate causes cancer. We were stopped from even allowing “gmo free” from food labels for years… i’m not going to explain any further than that, go ahead and type other lists of tangential questions with no intention of actual conversation, sea lion.

    Wouldn’t be some genetic mutations be really good actually?

    this stupid strawman again? yeah, duh, i’m not against the evolution of crops… i’m against genetically modifying them to be immune to Glyophosphate, the spraying crops with that, then giving farmers and consumers cancer…

    like the things that have actually happened with GMO’s, healthwise…
    choice is important… how about long term knowledge? we know a tomato doesn’t cause cancer… some random new chemical? we don’t know and can’t control that, and i don’t want to be Monsanto’s lab rat…

    mean the food we eat is already heavily bred and mutated, even most homegrown stuff. Try eating a wild carrot or wild apple.

    no fucking shit, you disingenuous bastard…
    no fucking shit… fuck your stupid strawmen, YOU KNOW i’m not talking about any and all genetic mutations… that’s the dumbest, paid for, corporate argument i’ve every heard…
    and i’ve heard that trash repeated over and over again as if that’s related…
    and it’s not

    Also, the article you shared regarding the antidepressant properties of soil makes some same mistakes. It is overly idealistic.

    awfully vague counter claim, sea lion… and there are many such studies on this. but even if not directly, everyone that gardens can attest that there are mental health benefits




  • man, you’re going to be really alarmed when you hear about community gardens and greenhouses…

    the idea for most people isn’t to completely replace all farming, but to reduce it, grow food instead of a lawn, have some fresh delicious non-gmo shit…
    have something to fall back on when the nuclear apocalypse happens…

    industrial farming will never be as nutritious, delicious, or satisfying as home-grown…

    p.s. working with soil has natural antidepressant properties…
