also, make sure you guys choose a place that isn't too rocky

the land I have at the family home is rocky as fuck

and it's very difficult to plant things in such an environment

yeah i prefer flatter areas anyway

+ forested

I mean

rocky in the soil

underground

I live on an island literally nicknamed "The Rock" place is barren

oh yeah

@NlBaker fucking rip

You need to dig the land before you live on it, if you can

just like

a foot or two deep

a foot is enough tbh

We till 18" for our crop

rocks beneath the soil = fucking hell to grow anything beyond beans

potatoes

corn

turnip

corn has decently long roots

cabbage

potatoes, sure

if i stayed here in indiana i could grow potatoes + corn

carrots

Growing 50+ million pounds of potato a year here.

but i'm p sure you can't grow that type of stuff in washington/oregon

You also need to think about the fertility of the ground

your states may grow a lot of food

but how much fertilizer

and pesiticide do they use

Turnip is the bee's knees

you use pesticide on your own land, you can be pretty sure you'll be drinking it from your river too

columbia river basin, tri- cities area, lots of spuds.

i fucking love potatoes

lmao

i could eat them

all

day

radish are my favourite

i'm gonna start farming in my backyard next spring
