    I really appreciate the advice, &quot;You don&apos;t have to be self-sufficient in everything, just something.&quot; I easily get obsessive and fall into the cognitive distortion of all-or-nothing thinking, overwhelming myself and halting progress.

    We&apos;ve all been taught by society to not know how to do anything. They want us to stay dependent.

    I thnk having a garden makes people live longer. &nbsp;Not from eating the food, but from the feeling it gives the gardener. &nbsp;It is the most peaceful pursuit. &nbsp;Can be a lot of work, especially in the beginning, but it is peaceful work, the food TASTES better and knowing you grew it is a satisfying feeling. &nbsp;You are a good presenter as well. &nbsp;BB

    It&apos;s the accent, it&apos;s the clever one liners, it&apos;s the ease of &quot;you can do this&quot; attitude. A wonderful break from the static around us. God bless you

    Indiana, USA…This was so well done. I am 68 yrs old and have never really built much but in 2020 have scrounged around for wood, dragged out my dad’s old hand saw and gave it a go. Have constructed 10 or so garden beds and am growing in containers inside many of them. Went to goodwill and bought what canning jars I could, running them through the sanitizing cycle in my dishwasher, asked around among family and friends for canning supplies,etc. I put up an inexpensive greenhouse all by myself. It has all been by myself. By the end of 2021 I have fine-tuned and better organized &nbsp;my efforts, eating my canned goods, etc. I am anxiously looking forward to 2022 as I mulch leaves, break up sticks, add food scraps, shredded paper etc to the two new pallet compost bins &nbsp;I have held together with zip ties! Having a good time creating, getting exercise, growing and eating my foods. I am vegetarian so have not branched out into keeping animals. You stay safe. I appreciate learning so much from you. Thank you.

    When the protagonist of Gladiator told the emperor that he would go home after the war, he would have become the protagonist of this channel if the emperor had allowed him to do so.
