Self-Sufficiency Acreage Requirement?
"simy1" wrote in message om... "David Hare-Scott" wrote in message ... Excellent idea. Without such you will be subject to seasonal feast/famine even with good preserving techniques. David Since the original poster was posting from subtropical Australia, I doubt it. One just has to have winter vegetables, and things like grains and beans. Not really, he said "I live in New Zealand, with plenty of rain in winter, but also reasonable sunshine in summer." New Zealand is not subtropical. Broadly, the North Island is warm(ish) temperate and the South Island is cool temperate. This may assist: http://www.liddlewonder.co.nz/zones/ But that point aside even if he was in one of the subtropical parts of Australia (the West Island as our cousins over the Tasman like to put it) you cannot grow summer veges there all year around, there is still a glut in late summer/ early autumn. Some sort of green house will extend the season for warm season veges quite a bit and give a wider choice of what to grow. Your point about also using cool season veges is of course correct but, speaking personally, you can only stomach so many meals of beans and brassicas! David |
