Self-sufficiency is the state of not requiring any aid, support, or interaction, for survival; it is therefore a type of personal or collective autonomy. The term self-sufficiency is usually applied to varieties of sustainable living in which nothing is consumed outside of what is produced by the self-sufficient individuals. Examples of attempts at self-sufficiency include simple living, homesteading, off-the-grid, survivalism, DIY ethic and the back-to-the-land movement. Practices that enable or aid self-sufficiency include autonomous building, permaculture, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy. The term is also applied to limited forms of self-sufficiency, for example growing one's own food or becoming economically independent of state subsidies.

S'not so bad, stars. Here is my garden:

Lenin With Dead Plant Pripyat Ghost Town Chernobyl Ukraine 2007


I'm going for that bleak, minimalist look, by the way. Before you all get all '60 Minute Makeover' on my ass.

Nah thats a cool garden Stars, you might just need to bump up the fertilizer content in the soil.

When I first planted two zucchini vines, they went mad, just like yours, had zucchini everywhere it was like the day of the triffids.

Pick'm young. :marx:

Let the other stuff grow then turn them over into the soil. Gardens have their own mind, :alien: just got to tune in with them. :beat:

What is does 'ferrin' mean (foreign?) :conf:

It's a pretty flower, which you can add, with fruit to your Pimms, chuck in a salad, or chrystalise and decorate little cakes with.

Chickory coffee is naff!

Borage


*Edit* Abs, your garden requires attention! :D

Actually, it is a nice flower, I've never seen it before. :)

And yes, ferrin means bad! Thanks heavens there aren't any ferriners here.

May I suggest a modicum of Epsom salt in water to fertilize? Does wonders. Magnesium sulphate has turned my already healthy pothos into an incredibly robust, deeply green plant, with numerous baby leaves. :)

www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/garden/

Why Epsom Salt Works

Magnesium and sulfur are two major components of Epsom salt. Magnesium is a critical mineral for seed germination. Plants use it to produce chlorophyll and as an aid in the absorption of phosphorus and nitrogen. Sulfur is also a key element in plant growth, helping produce vitamins. Tests by the National Gardening Association show that Epsom salt helps produce more flowers and makes pepper plants grow larger.

Minimalism is not bad, I've practiced it myself in the past, partly due to broke-ism, but also because I enjoyed so much less stuff to dust and the lack of clutter. :)

That's what you call bringing the 'outside' to the 'inside' look.
At least if its raining you can still sit in the garden.

Not going all 60 minutes on you Abs... but can I at least come and re-plaster your walls for you? They look in dying need. And may I suggest, you water that stick once in a while.

Thanks for advice people :)
I came into this world kicking and screaming while covered in someone elses blood
and I have no problem with going out the same way :twisted:
