and when that happens, the kitchen garden may well be the
most logical and cost-effective way to go.
By the mid-2010s, say 2015–2017, I strongly suspect
that we will see a definite return to home-grown vegetables
and, along with that change, an improvement in the quality
of the lives we have left.
To some degree, I’m now in the midst of making thatchange, and in every sense, it’s really working out just fi ne.
I didn’t make the change out of a fear of the future, but
rather out of the certain knowledge that tomorrow’s com
munities will be much more independently sustainable for their food supplies,
and I simply wanted to know what would need to be done to help it along.
