S1E26 5 Ways To Maximize Your Garden Harvest
Right now, there are more people wanting to garden than ever. Well, maybe that is an overstatement, but there are certainly so many people interested in planting seeds, that many seed companies are either out of seeds entirely, or have had to suspend the taking of new orders to restock or simply to catch up.
Whether you are new to gardening or you've been at it awhile, we all want to maximize our return on investment. After all, we put in a heck of a lot of blood, sweat and tears and money to grow our own food. And, while some people may live on a gazillion acres, most of us have a limited area to which we can dedicate raising and growing our own food.
But, beyond that, right now there is a lot of uncertainty in our world. And many of us are trying to grow as much food as possible simply because we want to make sure our families don't go hungry. So, on this episode we talk about 5 things we are doing on our homestead this year to try to maximize the amount of food we harvest from our garden.
Those five things are:
Succession Planting
Intensive planting
Companion planting
Vertical gardening
Keyhole gardening
Hopefully you find these techniques helpful. We also talk about the software we are using to plan our garden (http://growveg.com) and I give you and update on how things are going with our Hoss Tools seed starting kits and the 1020 trays from Bootstrap Farmer.
Enjoy!

We are a small family farmstead in upstate NY. We raise American Guinea Hogs, meat "mutt" rabbits and a variety of heritage chickens. We also have started raising Cornish Cross broilers.
We have a large garden comprised f raised beds and do a lot of canning and freezing of vegetables. We also do some fermentation as a means of food preservation and introducing natural probiotics into our diet. This YouTube channel is dedicated to our journey towards a more sustainable, healthy and wholesome lifestyle. Who knows what we might try next??!!!!!
