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
