The price of food being what it is, I decided to put in a home garden.

But, digging up sod just plain sucks. I did some, and I am putting that to use in a compost pile for next year. But I knew there had to be an easier way.

So, here is what I did. I had some contractor-grade trashbags and split them on the sides so they open up into one sheet. These I placed on the sod and put weight on the edges and corners to hold them in place, in order to kill the grass and leave bare soil. Obviously, a tarp or other plastic sheeting would work too, but I didn't have a tarp.

I guess I only had to wait 2-3 weeks for that to take effect. Probably closer to 3 weeks.

In the meantime, I had already seedlings growing. Those I grew in small plastic cups, which also happened to match the diameter of a small auger I had that is used with a cordless drill to dig the holes for planting. It makes it real easy to just empty the cups into a nice hole of the same size.

I didn't cultivate the soil, I just planted directly into the cleared area.

Also using well ventilated #10 cans for tomatoes and peppers. They seem to be doing well. And if people can use 2 liter soda bottles and get a crop, I'll just have to water them every day.

And, a pack of seeds goes a long way.

http://backtoedenfilm.com/ It is not too often that you see a serious prepper say that something they saw completely changed the way they are doing something so, when I heard LDSPrepper say that I sat up in my chair and took notice. After finishing his video I was sure that this method would work well in Texas but, there is no way that it could work where I live in Washington. Still, I followed the link to the Back To Eden movie and watched in amazement. I didn't notice it at first but, they kept saying Sequim Washington. That's only an hour from where I live. I called Paul up and a couple of days later I was standing in his farm. Paul was very inviting. He let us go anywhere, eat anything, video our visit and before we left he gave us some seeds. He told us to come back whenever we wanted and to call him with any questions we had. He loves to share his knowledge. Here is part of that visit.

I could hear the interviewer just fine. But the interviewee was like trying to read lips.

I need to dig out my other speakers anyway.
