Compost Tea
Compost tea is great for keeping your plants fed and healthy throughout their life. It’s not like strong chemical fertilizers that can burn your plants if applied heavily. Additionally, if the brewing process is done correctly, compost tea is not toxic like chemical fertilizers either. What could make it toxic is the introduction of compost that has not properly cooked. According to Bradley, F.M., Ellis, B.W. & Phillips, E. (2009), “E. coli can be present in the raw ingredients of a compost pile.” (p. 162). When gathering the compost for the tea, one must ensure that the compost is suitably finished. The best way to determine if the compost is suitable for use is if it has a sweet earthy aroma.
Patio Tomatoes Are Great For Limited Space | SHTF Gardening
Transplanting A Patio Tomato
So my wife finds a Patio Tomato plant at one of the home centers in our area and it already had a couple tomatoes turning red. She knew I had a couple empty squares in some of my raised beds so it was a no brainer that I would plant it for her. I did.

Organic Gardening Will Be Your Only Choice
SHTF Forced Organic Gardening
When, not if but, when the “Shit Hits The Fan” (SHTF), people who survive and are savvy enough to scratch out their survival will be forced to grow their food organically. I don’t mean that there will be gardening police that monitor your methods but rather, infrastructure will be down and there probably won’t be any chemicals available. If there are, it will be highly unlikely that you could afford them or even be able to transport them. Actually, this is probably one of the good things that will come from some sort of collapse or SHTF scenario. After all, people will return to a more healthy diet and lifestyle. The real shame is that it is not the norm now. Anyway, you will have to be able to grow your food without any artificial stimulation or protection and that means organic.
