corn, potatoes, cucumbers the ConcreteBlock Method
I decided to not wait until next year to experiment with corn,
cucumbers, potatoes with the Concrete Block method of farming. So yesterday bought some corn and cucumber seeds and some potatoes to cut eyes and plant. I laid out several rows of concreteblock in my grass yard and then spaded a row and placed the block along that line. Then I drilled one seed per hole into the concrete block. It took 1 hour to do the entire job and to even water it afterwards. Concrete block holes are easy to water. I set the block contiguous so that the lawnmower hugs the sides and weeding the holes is easy. I have a feeling as to how corn will do this method but to wait another year is silly and so decided to try it this year. I have about 200 tomato plants in concreteblock rows. Some are beginning to outgrow their hole and I suspect by next month to aggressively begin to vine out along the lawn. There will come a time when mowing by hugging the block will be impossible and then the tedious chore of going in there and shearing the weeds growing amoung the tomato vines. But the block always tell me exactly where the trunk of the plant is and I can just weed around the trunck. My asparagus have been inside concrete block for 2 years now and they are doing splendid. I do need to get more of those metal rods so that fallen over huge asparagus are not annoying during mowing. And every year I keep new bulbs of tulips inside block to protect them from the mower. And all my new young trees planted have a block on their north side so I know where they are throughout the year especially winter. I do that as a marker until the tree is tall enough. For all those people who have gardens and have enough money to afford concrete block should try the ConcreteBlock method for their gardens. They will be surprized at how much easier those block make their work. I believe as the price of petrol continues to rise because it is a limited resource, that someday in the future, all petrol based agriculture will have to return to nonpetrol methods. And that is where ConcreteBlock will be the Optimal Farming Method. When all tractors and petrol operating machinery is phased out because of the shrinking supply of petrol then it is concreteblock that will put ORDER into farming. The tractor at present puts order into farming, but in the future when petrol is rare then it will be ConcreteBlock that puts Order into farming.
