Oh, come on, you're being cynical.
I've always been of the opinion that planting out a whole heap of seeds
for them to come on all at once is a pain, as too much is wasted.
Instead you plant every week, progressively till its producing and
reducing the plot on foot at a time.
Seems sensible to me...
As far as watering goes, that depends on conditions....
BTW they were selling a book....
So everything would be mentioned there, but it still seems an OK idea. I
was referring to the referring site which mentions cataclysmic
events..

Oh dear, another one of these survivalist sites with how to survive by
guardening. What were they selling?
Hint, if it doesn't have pictures of all the stages, including
mistakes, then it is a fraud by someone who grows nothing.

Note, there is never any mention of important inputs like water and how
much you need.



I have the book. It is pretty straight forward and the writer has done
gardening shows in the US. Get it out from your library or put in a request
card there should be one out there you can borrow.
