10 Expert Tips to Become a SELF-SUFFICIENT GARDENER in 2022



Having a self-sufficient garden means that if I foster it, the garden provides much of what is needed for it to continue thriving from year to year.

Self-sufficient gardening is developing skills and putting systems in place to help your garden thrive with less dependence upon other sources and less influence from outside forces.

A self-sufficient garden means you don’t have to run to the store every time you need seeds, compost, or fertilizer. Learn more about how to make your garden (and you!) self-sufficient with these 10 tips.

    You are Amazing! I was wondering if you have a video on how to be proficient in growing from seeds? I am retired and always want to eat from my own crop, and I have been for a long time have less trips to super markets.

  2. Gene McCarthy

    I enjoyed your video and tips. I live in 8B (Village of Oak Creek at 4000 ft). There are very few gardening tips from gardeners in my zone. Do you have specific recommendations for a 25 x 25 foot area with raised beds?

    Love this video. I've tried to grow comfrey in the past but something always happened and it didn't last long! I'll have to try again with a live plant instead of seeds, then I can propagate from there. Thank you for sharing.

    When you start seed inside and they are by a window do you still need a heat met and a long light for seeds?

    Very Good video. I am new to gardening and trying to learn what I can… I am starting with container gardening because the soil where I live is Georgia is highly acidic, hard and on a slope… I do have plenty of space (almost an acre) and an abundance of wildlife that I want to attract like butterflys and hummingbirds.

    You are awesome. I really enjoy listening to you. I am new to gardening here in PV and try hard to follow your lead. Keep the videos coming.

    These things are so easy in Arizona. Here in Tennessee we can't compost due to raccoons and bears . Deer rats and squirrels eat everything I try to grow. Even the sweet potatoes . And many trees don't grow well here . Not enough sun where I live. I wish I lived in Arizona
