Impressing! Everyone should start growing and foraging his/her own food. It will have a remarkable impact and a lot of the actual problems will shrink. People are getting more familiar with the earth, the plants and the climate again. They will gain respect and love for the planet. They will get more quiet and more responsible and more local.This is the change we all need. I am following your channel around four years now and i am into growing food myself and together with others in the very center of Berlin now for three years.We have learned so much as well and it is just the beginning.

Our best way to control the roaches is chickens. They're like potato chips for chickens. Lol. We dont have any in the house and we have a compost pile and gardens, etc. We also have one of those plug in for the outlets that send a current through the electrical wires in the walls. Now, when we have a hard rain, we do see the BIG palmettos or wood roaches, but it is far and few between. Good Luck it is definitely something to get used to here in Florida.

Have you considered getting a couple Hens? The eggs would add protein and the hens would eat pests insects in your garden. Not to mention they would kill your cockroaches. Plus. Some chicken species are pretty smart. They make interesting companions. They wouldn't require a lot of plant feed. I think the benefit would outweigh the cost of keeping two or three hens.

Sweet potatoes go nuts in Florida! I planted one in my yard near the rear of my property. Well, the second year half my yard was a patch out of control. It was crazy. I never watered it or anything. It propagated itself or with all of the bees which came to my yard. All from a single potato that I planted when it had sprouted to show that nothing should ever go to waste. In spite of the original planting being at the rear of the lot, my neighbors would come knock at my door asking if they could dig some of them up for themselves. Ha! I guess many of them grew up on farms. So, yeah, Florida & sweet potatoes are best buddies. An easy, easy grow & the green part makes good ground cover as well.

How we do it in Brazil: Make cocount milk, and put in fridge. The fat will separate. Put the fat in a covered inox pan and leave in sun until the oil separates. There will be a fine scum on top which can be skimmed off. We need 1 1/2 days for this in our hot sun. Skim off the scum, then carefully skim off the oil with a spoon. It is a good idea to do a lot of coconuts at a time- 20-30. (We get free fallen coconuts which have no market value.) The fiber left can be used as food, but especially for chickens!)

Hey Rob Greenfield, I recently moved to Wisconsin but prior to living in Wisconsin I lived in Florida for 7 years, we grew a ton of exotic fruit trees but I digress. I just wanted to say you should consider growing dandelion, and well dandelion does not really grow well in the hotter climates like Florida but if you can grow it, the plant has a lot of versatility with the leaves tasting alot like spinach when they're young and are packed with potassium, the flowers sort of have a buttery flavor and are full of antioxidants, and finally the roots could be eaten raw but there's something you can do that's pretty awesome with the roots. You can actually roast the roots and powder it up and drink it like a coffee, it has a surprisingly great flavor and it is good for your liver.

Roger nog 1 tip, maak elk jaar een stuk onkruid vrij en ga niet ineens voor een te groot stuk. Je moet dan buiten je eigen kunnen werken en dat hou je niet vol. 1 stuk dit jaar en volgend jaar een stuk erbij en stuk onderhouden. Na 2 a 3 jaar afhankelijk hoe fanatiek je bent heb je het eerste stuk onder controle. Tip 2 kijk en let goed op wat zaait uit!!! Australische spinazie bv. En wat geeft veel wortel uitlopers. Muntsoorten Neem voor dat je de planten plant kennis er van en neem maatregelen. Perk gebieden af waar je munt hebt staan of citroen melisse, anders zit je hele tuin er onder, en komt je sla echt niet meer de grond uit. Inperken kun je door een rand te zetten van 10cm boven de grond en 15 a 20 in de grond. Deze rand moet je goed sluitend hebben. Een te kleine ruimte verstikt de plant dus denk aan minimaal 1/2 m2. Tuinafval met zaad op een aparte bult gooien!!!! Gegarandeerd dat je eerste pogingen met compost het zaad doet ontkiemen, bij uitspreiden op de grond. Denk aan het plantje muur.
