Have you ever disturbed about accept a source of calories in face of social collapse ?
I have . And I worried about being able to originate what I demand in the backyard . turnip and potatoes were a pain in the neck . Chickens needed feed . Jerusalem artichokes were unsatisfying .
… and then we discovered cassava . Easy to grow , blighter - free , full of kilocalorie , tasty , and it thrive in raging conditions and so - so soil , making beautiful wheels of stiff genus Tuber .
We once grew it in pure construction sand with a little bury manure below and it did groovy .
If we can do it , you could too !
Tomorrow we ’ll be back at the Palafox Market ( South ) in Ferdinand VII Plaza tomorrow in beautiful Pensacola and we ’ll be bringing circle of manioca with us , so you’re able to get this authoritative staple crop in the ground now .
Once you have it , you could keep it give-up the ghost indefinitely via propagate your own . Plants are only $ 10 each , or 12 for $ 100 , if you want to start a good - sized survival spell for 2024 .
If you constitute now , you could get roots like these by wintertime :
We also have other survival crops , including rarified “ achira ” cannas with edible roots , taro , potato mint , tobacco ( great trade good ! ) , and more .
