Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
Bismarck.Bloodrose said: » Thankfully there are a lot of sales going on around me when it comes to bananas and strawberries. My room mate got one of those Nutri-Bullet things, and I fix half a banana and a strawberry into my milk, and blend it for about 10 seconds. Broccoli at the Shoprite was .99 a pound. Loaded up on that as well Nah, my doctor is a bit of a health nut. The kind that turns health into a kind of religion. He's also strong enough to be a bone-setter physician if he chose to be one.
It was part of a diabetic reading he did wrong. Sent me to the Diabetic Research Clinic, who did their own tests, more accurately, and told me I was just mildly low on Vitamin B. Even got some raw, no salted or anything added, sunflower seeds imported from Bulgaria.
Even eating and drinking healthy foods can have adverse affects on the body, if you swap diets instantly without thought to repercussion, because the body doesn't know how to metabolize the foods, and may initially reject them, causing pain, swelling, or other allergic-like reactions.
Changing diets safely should be done in steps. Then you can add exercise as you learn to find time. Changing diets alone can also cause stress due to having to pay more for healthier foods, which can also have various negative impacts on the mind and body from mild to extreme. Out of the shells of course.
The only drastic change lately has been no salt and today was the first trial run of keeping sugar under the 36g mark. Everything else I'm already used to for awhile now.
I used to grow sunflowers, corn, pumpkins, watermelons, carrots, cucumbers, raspberries, strawberries, and dill, among others before moving to Calgary almost 18 years ago.
tending to a garden that big was as much a punishment, as it was a reward sometimes. Punishment was pulling weeds by hand, and tilling the soil by hand, when we had a motorized tiller.

I hope to do that someday.
it really depends on the soil and where you grow it.
Farming is as much physically intensive as it can be mentally. There are sciences behind growing crops. Aside from farming, it's almost the same way with gardening. You aren't going to have much luck growing something that can't survive in certain climates, unless you do something to make it happen. Granted, fresh picked peas from the pod were so awesome. My mom used to make home-made raspberry jam, and strawberry-rhubarb crunch. Mmmm those were good days. yea i live in AZ and it took a couple years to get ours to where it is now, tho we havnt planted much since my dad had his stroke couple years back
I'd like to kickstart a community garden in my area, but it's not something that would go over very well, when the community looks like it survived a nuclear explosion, and people decided to rebuild, but kept the dead grass.
Seriously, I looked up one day, saw the most beautiful blue sky I've ever seen. Looked down, and around me all over, and everything was an ugly tinge of grey, or seriously dilapidated, and dying. I want to get one of those green houses that allows you to grow whatever you want all year round. When I take up a project like that, I go all out, hardcore style.
This was one of the things I saw: Year-Round Survival: $300 Underground Greenhouse Could Change How we Eat

it also saves some on food expenses in the non winter months wich is realy nice
and friend sent me this avi he found on tumbler.. thought it was cute :3 course Espeon being my fav poke <3 Even with a greenhouse, you have to be able to artificially create an environment, with soil, water, healthy air and humidity, to match what you want to grow.
That's the kind of thing I want to do in my area. See, I like in an apartment complex, 3 stories high, in a pattern including 3 other buildings, in a square, with a currently unused, ripped up playground that wasn't safe for kids, because maintenance never looks after ***. Parents complained kids were coming home sick, even though more than a few of them were eating the sand, rather than licking the wood the playground was made of.

This is a nice conceptual model:

I grow my own veggies in a garden behind my house as well. It's a lot of work being that the part of Ontario I live in is almost all clay. Motorized tiller was not enough to work that ***up, had to bust out my grandads old pickaxe and do it the hard way.
Well worth it though. I grow cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, red/green peppers, and a bunch of herbs and jalapenos in pots on the deck. Even had a watermelon pop up one year cause I forgot to get rid of the seeds before tossing one that went bad in the compost bin.

Heating and cooling it could be rediculous costs though, probably only the 1% could afford to do this right bleh Also, the heating and cooling isn't so bad, because the type of food grown can change with the season. Just grow seasonal vegetables. Leviathan.Chaosx said: » This is a nice conceptual model: It's a potentially economically friend, and environmentally friendly, solution to many different problems. Of course, the investment cost is going to be a potential pitfall before you can profit from it.

Something else:
Considering the condensed amount of agricultural land in one space, there are pros and cons for setting this up. As I pointed out, the investment cost is a huge potential pitfall, and you're not likely to see any profits from it for years, if not decades. However, it could be placed anywhere in densely populated areas, spurring new businesses, or rejuvenating old ones. There would also be a place in town that would cut out the middle man for deliver, as it would maximize profits potentially, for those who are in the immediate vicinity, buying the freshest, ripest ingredients for restaurant and home. |
