Updates on DUF activities during "stay home" period
We continue to challenge you to plant your own food. God has given us everything we need for life...
There is really no excuse for not putting something into the ground in your space (yard, verandah, rooftop, etc.). Living in town is no excuse. See for yourselves that it is doable!
Most vegetables and short term crops do not need a lot of space. As a matter of fact, most, if not all, can be planted in containers. Some can be placed on trellis.

Blend and strain)

Small trees planted in back yard
We are also calling on you to change your perspectives on farming. You do NOT need a huge plot of land to grow your own fruits and vegetables.
Look at planting your own food as food security (which can translate to independence - not having to live on someone else's mercy).
For those of us who have jobs or have accumulated some money, know that in difficult times like now, these really cannot sustain us.
Money has no value when there is nothing to buy!
Urban gardening has many benefits. These include a healthy mind (stress free), good source of exercise, a feeling of accomplishment, healthy eating practices, among many others. You also will save a lot of money.
You will learn more as you continue to follow us. Join us. Follow us on facebook.

Way to go my DUFers
