Hail Biafra!
Is it worth it to use sardines as a fertilizer, so long as you can protect it from being dug up by animals? Looking into growing the three sisters (squash, beans and corn)

Maybe use just alittle and dilute it with water. I feel like it’s gonna attract a shyt load of cats, racc00ns and other pest. Never used it so can’t say. I do know aquarium water is great to use. If you have a fish tank and your doing weekly water changes just use water.
However, Try it out and let us know the results.
How about you help some of get started with some advice and info 
Only garden I did was great care to my large backyard at the time. You know trimming bushes etc
I'd like to grow fruits and vegetables just to see what the experience is like

It’s work but it’s worth it
You take your mind off all the bullshyt of the world yet you actually adding something to it. Been doing it for two years myself. Nothing major like some brehs here, but my own little eco-corner.

You can go to your local Walmart and get some pre grown plants. You can get a pot from the dollar store or Walmart. Drill drainage holes at the bottom if it doesn’t have any. Get some all purpose potting soil. Place it outside or near a sunny place in your house. Now your growing plants!!!How about you help some of get started with some advice and info

That’s what I did. I’m just a beginner.
My peppers are growing. It’s easy and will give you confidence to keep gardening.
Also you can get a small compose bin and now your getting you own organic and damn good fertilizer.
ferment it in a cooler with equal parts brown sugar and a handful of leaves and maybe some grass from your yard. Leave it for like year. You can use it after like 3mos but leaving it for a year all the good stuff will be left in solution then add it at 1:1000 in rainwater or spring water.
Google FAA+KNF however they say use deep water fish (mostly guts, head, scales fins and bones.) KNF they have a lot of cheap fertilizers u make ur self with brown rice vinegar, some stuff from the woods, whole milk, etc. time and love. See qhat works and report back. Im gonna start making the whole milk fertilizer ill update the thread when I do.
I started with houseplants i grew from cuttings in water. If u live in a city u can find herbs like basil, rosemary, oregano, mints, and lavender just growing. U can get some small shears and a bag and cut them, take them home and root them in water then plant them in some soil u can get from home depot or ur local garden supply store. Those are really easy, esp basil is super forgiving and very productive. U can grow them into bushes really easily given your pruning skills, its the same thing. if ur not about that life check ur local whole foods or "healthy" grocery store they should have basils in small planters. then u can practice your water propagation skills. Once you get that down buy some organic veggies u would normally eat and take the seeds. I did that with the butternut squash that I bought in january. Just rinse the seeds and let them dry on a table that didnt get sunlight and they are super prolific already. U only need one butternut squash to have literally thousands of squash plants. the only limitation is space, and if u have that covered the next one is only your imagination.How about you help some of get started with some advice and info

The tall red and green are two varieties of callaloo or amaranth. My lady and I had some last night in a salad. It was nourishing. In there there is tomatillos behind the amaranth closer to the grill, to the left of the tomatillos are tomatoes that i started waay late. in front of the amaranth is thai peppers ive been growing since 2014. to the right of the amaranth is the butternut squash i got like how i was talking about in the previous posts. Behind the squash is my compost bin with some ginger growing in it, slowly but surely. I have a bunch of other herbs like stinging nettle in the front. my arugula is dumb spicy and this variety pack of lettuce i got has some lettuce that tastes like wasabi. I need seeds from that!!!! The dcarlett kale i mentioned earlier is on microgreens status rn but on its way
Im very proud of all this and all yall brehs in this thread. It has been super constructive, most definitely when I feel like throwing mud or casting stones, to go get my hands dirty and sustain myself. Make sure to walk barefoot around ur plants my damies

We grubbin yet brehs?? Whats good with yalls crops? Out here in DC we had almost a month long drought that stunted all my shorties and are sending some to seed, herbs and calalloo. I'm a lil bit sad about that but its also about time to start planting more kale and brocolli for the winter. I finally got a female flower on my butternut squash so we officially outchea!!!
I cultivate Aloe Vera I use it for everything
Starting up some lavender
I want to grow more herbs such as sage, peppermint to make homemade essential oils

This shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as it did.
I'm going to do some experiments with Aloe soon, I have seen vids where cacs use the Aloe to clone weed. I have made a "fertilizer" of some grass clippings and added some of the aloe to it. I'm curious to keep it moving. I haven't been all that successful with lavender. Lavender and succulents give me a lot of trouble.
My lady and I made some hand sanitizer with Aloe+Vodka (roughly ~ 1:8) blended up and then added some essential oils in afterwards. It's good, just a little sticky initially, probably better with some everclear or something. Give it a try!
That’s great
Are u into thing like scotch bonnet peppers ginger? Can these be grown in small spaces?
I am growing thai bird peppers and ginger. You can grow both of them in small spaces they just need a lot of sun. Peppers need more sun than the ginger though. Peppers also need the summer heat. They really drink water like crazy. Depending on where you live it may be too late to start them though. If you want you can look on how to grow weed indoors and instead grow peppers, they grow the same. You can leave ginger out by a sunny window and it should do fine, just be sure to read up on how to take care of it so it doesn't get hit with bugs like mine did over the winter. The leaves smell so great!
