Inspiring news

I want to share this news article about a man who last year started what he calls a pandemic garden, and hasn't been back to the grocery store in 8 months, feeding himself and putting up food for the winter utilizing an 8x5 meter garden (or 24x15 feet), using organic or better methods.

I've been gardening for 25 years, and this inspires me to rethink and take a new look at how I utilize space to grow food. This article was, for me, another reminder that I'm never done learning or reevaluating what I already do, and to be open to new approaches instead of clinging to old ways and thought forms. Reading this article has been another of numerous reminders in my life recently that there is absolutely nothing I can't do if I just choose to put my mind to it and apply myself. Last year I had been thinking about expanding the garden to grow more, but now I am rethinking about how to better use what I already have. It seems to me that bigger doesn't always mean better, and I've learned that is rarely if ever the case.

Thank you for sharing this inspirational article. I think that the space he is using is actually only 1/2 of what you mention. In the article it says: "He set to work transforming half the 8x5m patio area into a growing haven,..."  Truly impressive. If one looks at his youtube channel, he seems to really be into Korean farming methods.
