Yeh gods, a scientist
I love yout already.... Grin!
I unnerstand that stuff a long time!
I reckon to experiment is the way to go....
Cynical attitudes are a no no!
Even the way that water allocations top industry due to savings is
intimately disgusting!

Oh, come on, you're being cynical.

Yes, mention anything with survivalism and I'm instantly very cynical.
People think survivalism can be purchased like a magic pill. There is
almost universal assumptions like;
any solar panel = unlimited electrical engery on tap
any water tank = unlimited water on tap
any garden = unlimted food on tap, etc

I have no doubt with this period of hot weather in Adelaide and Melbourne,
coupled with the power outages that plenty of people will have gone out
(Bunnngs etal) and purchased a generaor to run the air conditioner when
the
power goes out. Apart from the inital puchase of generators, the
replacement purchases of air conditioners should boost the economy along
a tiddle.

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.

Yep, this is what a lot of people do already (staged planting)to give
continual supplies, but does it require an fancy title?. Sounds more like
a way of selling some magic pill to solve all your problems, aka above.

caveat, sometimes you need to over plant to select fast growing plants
to beat the bugs. Other seedlings sometimes require the microclimate
generated by a forest of their fellow seedlings to get going. In other
plants, the natural die off rate can be quite high.
