Survival Gardening 9, food storage economic crash crisis oil

Video #9 in our Survival Gardening series go over soils and soil improvement techniques. Video #10 will follow shortly. Unless you are keeping a herd of large animals like cows, it's going to be very hard to keep grow food long term using just what's "on" the farm or homestead.
