6 Tips for Growing Survival Garden Crops – Making Your Home or Homestead More Sustainable: Survival gardening, SHTF, preparedness, prepping, it can be a lot of fun or can seem like an obsession for some. Either way, it makes sense and feels good to be more self-sufficient and self-reliant. That’s why practicing some common sense preparedness is never a bad idea and growing your own food vegetables is a fun and rewarding way to do this. This is particularly true if you live off-grid and in a rural area where a power outage can last for days and bad weather such as a heavy snowfall can prevent you from getting to the grocery store. In this video, you’ll see my wife Tori and I build a more sustainable homestead and share what we learn along the way.

The thumbnail for this vid is meant as a bit of a joke and is a play on words. Though the skills to grow our own food – and enough of it to survive is important to us, we’ve had some not-so fantastic results in the past. Additionally, in a hypothetical situation where you did have to grow your own food to survive, the survival of your garden is definitely tied to your own survival. I think that growing your own food is something that is too often overlooked in long-term survival scenarios.

Watch the previous episode covering our sustainability push where we plant apple trees, rhubarb and several types of vegetables in grow pots.
