Self-sufficient supply | Potatoes

How independent are you when it comes to your food supply?

What happens if supermarket doors stay closed for days? Here is an extract from VuK newsletter #32 (German):

In Carinthia, for example, the exercise “Combined Success” on a blackout scenario was carried out successfully. Only a few weeks earlier, a storm had cut off the infrastructure supply of an entire region in Carinthia. By the second day, the media were already reporting that food was slowly running out and had to be flown in by helicopter. On the one hand a supposedly successful exercise, on the other a completely unprepared population. A very ambivalent picture.

With potato pyramids – for example as shown here – you can secure your basic supply with your own potatoes. All you need is about 1 m² of space.

An offer to go with it

For those who want to try taking more responsibility for their own lives, we have put together a special offer with Johannes Kühmayer (www.holz-natur.at (German), GAIA member): The wood for the construction comes from his own forest and is exclusively black pine felled according to the phases of the moon – in other words, of the highest quality. He offers the necessary raw materials to anyone interested as follows:

• Potato pyramid, version 1: EUR 72.00 plus 5 x 80 mm screws at EUR 8.00 = EUR 80.00
• Potato pyramid, version 2: EUR 90.00 plus 5 x 80 mm screws at EUR 10.00 = EUR 100.00

P.S.: Built with nails, both pyramids are only marginally cheaper (about EUR 2–3), so screws are preferred here.

Then all you need is good soil and seed potatoes

If we help each other, we can manage that too! So if you are interested, contact me by email at gottfried.herrmann@gaia-energy.org by 10 February 2019. We will then coordinate the logistics, transport and, if needed, setting up and filling the pyramids together. Because, as our motto goes: “Together we achieve what the individual is denied.”
