I don't really eat meat. The thing that gets me are the vegetables. If I want anything fresh, it costs so much more than canned or frozen. Frozen/canned veggies are fine for some meals, but for others they can really taste a bit off. We just moved and I'm hoping there are some good farmer's markets around where I live now with decent prices (the place I moved from were worse than the grocery store).
If you can, I highly recommends saving up for farm bot, while you might not be able to grow every food yourself, but you can grow quite a lot and those would be extremely fresh.
Goddamn that's cool! I only wish it had a flamethrower attachment to ward off the squirrels that keep raiding my garden...
Lol, you could use electrified wire to shock the squirrel away (not to kill the little rodent, but enough that it's deterred from raiding your plant.)
This looks dope! I don't know if I have the space for it right now (renter so can't change the outside too much, plus most of it is not usable), but I'm bookmarking this for if/when I buy a house. I actually might talk to my wife and decide if we should do a small growing bed for tomatoes or peppers.
