[00:16] >> The most cost effective plant I have found by far are aliums. >> I'm talking about your onions and your garlic. And here's why. First off, these plants aren't heavy feeders, so you can absolutely pack them into one bed. I
[00:29] planted nine garlic cloves per square foot and nine onions per square foot. for some additional greens. And what I love most about the alium family is and they don't really need any pruning or upkeep. You can also harvest and eat
[00:43] aliums at any point in their growing cycle, meaning food within weeks of that you can pick from the top of the onion plants that you would ever need. And of course, you get those delicious garlic scapes when the garlic plants
[00:55] have matured, I can harvest them all and cure them for a few weeks. And now I've winter. So, I've been eating off this same crop for the past few months. And now I have all of this food for the next few months.
