npub189nhq0cw33243htm08c53vjvgc5letv7d9sgqtgqsn6fnx6dv8zs0fsatx (npub189n…satx) The usual number given for how much ground you need to support yourself is 3 to 5 acres.
By using labor-intensive methods, it's possible to get this as low as 1 acre, maybe - 43,560 square feet.
A 7x7 foot plot would be about 50 sq ft, about 0.1% of what you need to eat - one third of a meal for ten meals a year, if you eat three meals a day.
You should be doing this as a fun hobby if it gives you pleasure but it won't reduce your dependency on external food. 💔
