delicious, they go directly from the vine on my balcony into my mouth. Splendid. Of course, that raises the question again: Can you be the producer of your own food? Is that even possible? Yes, sure, I have planted and harvested potatoes. But grain? And what happens during wintertime? Can everything be bottled? Prepared? Grandma used to do exactly that. Right?<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><em><strong>Marie Diederich has been a food gardener for over 15 years, she loves chickens, and is also the author of \u201cSelbstversorgung\u201d (\u201cSelf-sufficiency\u201d) and of the blog Wurzelwerk.*<\/strong><\/em> Her estimation is, that it takes about 1080 sq ft cropland to grow enough vegetables that feed one person for one year. Potatoes and such excluded. That is a lot of space, but you can always start small. The good thing about self-sufficient living is, that it gives you a whole different view on and appreciation of food. And that always helps.
