Thanks dude, looks good

Good that it focuses on providing a constant supply too, instead of like a once per x weeks harvest

was concerned about that

nice way to add dailey greens into your life.It does seem like the guy did just jumped into it without much thought and he was still able to get greens.

I wonder how doable this kind of setup is for something more calorie-dense like potatoes
Of course there are a lot of other variables there like weight and shit

beans could be a goods source of protein and they take around 2 months to ggrow

do you grow them in soil? or do you jsut sprout them into micro greens?

im not sure which one would be better, but micro greens are much better in terms of calories/growing time

What other stuff have you grown?

ive grown tomatoes mint and strawberries but i havent done any major hydroponics

Ive tried those before. Ive bet that mint has gotten wild. pretty hard herb.

its still on my windowsill after almost 2 years

thats pretty cool

My family has grown potatos, strawberries, blueberries, hops, peppers, cucumbers, and aspriagus. all with varring degrees of success.

if ya want to save a shitload of money

potatoes are 50 cents a pound

egs like 20 cents each

beans and rice

eat those for your meals now and use that+ couponing to build your stockpile

personally i mainly keep rice and beans, but i also like poptatoes because of their versatility, and nutritional value

+am irish so i mean gotta honor my ancestors

how do you keep them for a long period of time tho

salt, drying, canning, pickling

the real trick is you can grow em indoors easily

Can you post this in <#673371545325928508>? I'll pin it

Sure

What do y'all do for long-term protein storage?

i die

Most of the protein I eat requires refrigeration (fish, eggs). I have an Excel spreadsheet of my pantry (I'll post the template here later if anyone wants) and the macros break down to like 60% fats 30% carbs 10% protein

Because again, almost all my protein isn't in my pantry

Protein powder perhaps?

You can also get protein supplements in the form of chocolate bars etc

properly stored dried meat can last for months maybe even year

can also dehydrate egg mix to have a pantry safe protein. Great for backpacking too.

Might have to invest in some proper (read: doesn't take like shit) protein powder then. I hate eating jerky

@MEME Fister that's a good one

supper cheap too. just have to rehydrate and cook on pan

pre scambled eggs that are dehydrated taste kinda funky.

yeah i would prefer eating actual food too

but prptein powde is really good isea because its easy to store, takes very small place, can be prepared with just adding water and fills your needs

gives you essential proteins

good addition anyway

for sure can also add to oat meal or ther hot grain meals for extra protein

its super easy to get into dehydrating just keep your eyes out at a thrift store for something like this....

Thrift stores?? They're common there?

I practically live in Goodwill in terms of clothes shopping

wonder if eBay might also be good for that

i mean

look at craiglist

thats how its called in america right?

Craigslist yes

You can pick them up from shops around £20 here in bongland

Rip craigslist

U mean Canada right

We still have craigslist in America

Or did I miss the joke

Grew potatoes in a basket once

They're very hardy plants

I don't think it had the yield I wanted out of it but I didn't do it like pic related

Those protein bars look fuggin good

tfw have to drink fluoride tapwater

how fix this?

Tbh Brita/Pūr filters probably get a lot of that shit out

Reverse osmosis and a well isn't cheap but it's the best you'll get

@itstooslim i dont think brita gets fluoride

Fugg

well I just drink bottled water now <:apusalt:673419498354638873>

but there has to be something

Enjoy micro plastics

You'll have to buy designer voss glass bottles bro

It's microplastics or fluoride bruh
and I'm not gonna go through the trouble of storing jarred water in my studio apt

At least fluoride cleans teeth

doesnt fluoride make you retarded

somehow

Kek I guess

@adfnof fucks with your iodine intake

i liek salt

which is very important for cognitive function

>he doesn't supplement his salt with iodine alternatives

Cringe

BPA is a synthetic equivalent to oestrogens

Basically

Bottled water, milk, orange juice makes you a tranner

It's a bit more complex than that. You know how drinking caffeine builds up a tolerance and you get MORE tired if you stop or under-dose? That's because caffeine binds to (adenosine) receptors, and your body responds to them being full of caffeine by creating MORE of them. BPA/Phytoestrogens is the same phenomenon, your body creates way more estrogen receptors meaning any kind of estrogen has a much stronger effect on you.

So even if you eliminate all phytoestrogen sources, it will take some years for those receptors to drop back down in number. Meaning for that period afterwards you're still way more of an estrogen-sensitive soyboi than you should be. So beware.

basically a tranner

Got a 55 gal barrel arriving today. Trying to decide if I should just fill it from the tap or go to the trouble of finding a distilled water source for that much volume

I drink a shit load of whole milk everyday

I would die if i did that

My body is shit

Cant handle pure milk

Hahaha
