25 "Illegal" Off-Grid Old Italian Garden Tricks That Still Work Today

25 "Illegal" Off-Grid Old Italian Garden Tricks That Still Work Today A Sicilian named Baldassare Forestiere came to America and was told his land was too hard and too hot to grow anything. So he dug a garden twenty feet down into the cool earth by hand, and grew oranges where everyone said it was impossible. They called him crazy. He was right. That is the old way in one man. At my table I'll give you twenty-five old Italian garden tricks the modern world made you forget: vinegar for the weeds, willow water for cuttings, comfrey for free fertilizer, planting by the moon, and the seed you save so you never buy it again. Now, I call them illegal and off-grid, so let me be honest, the way I always am. No policeman ever banned these. The modern world made them illegal a quieter way, by making you forget, and selling you a bottle for everything your grandmother did for free. One honest word: the vinegar goes on the paths only, never your good plants, and never use barbecue charcoal in the garden, only clean wood. Grow it right, and grow it safe. Subscribe if you want the old ways pulled back into the light before they're lost for good. Keep the old ways. They fed us. #OldItalian #OffGrid #Gardening #SeedSaving #FrugalLiving
