Specifically, I would love to team up with those of you offering tutorial-based content/media (posts, videos, etc) and incorporate your content into this series! When people read the series in the future, I want them to have an abundance of resources at their disposal. The internet is full of great content that I could just as easily compile, BUT... I want people reading this Steemit exclusive to see STEEMIT CONTENT.
The idea is to have people that stumble across this series in the future see other creators of relative content. The more we can gather, the greater the impact we can have and the more people we can help to take a major step toward independence. We can all take back our independence and control of our food supply. If this series helps a few people enhance the quality of their lives, then I have succeeded. Let's synergize and reach further than that. Most of you readers might already agree - the world needs this.
Many of us that garden also enjoy sharing our knowledge with others that take interest in it. WHY NOT combine forces, rather than divide? Sharing what we love with those who share like interests is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences. You get to see people prosper and grow in communities strengthened by unity. One common goal, many ways to achieve it. WHY NOT?
I also love to remind many of you plant-savvy folks that if you do grow food: you are growing money, whether you know it or not. I want to share with you how simple it is when you have a plan. I am doing it and you can do it too!
Nonsense! There is a misconception that you need a farm to make money growing food and if you have followed this series thus far, you know that is entirely FALSE! I have already shown that $15,000+ worth of culinary mushrooms can be grown annually, indoors, in a space less than 10ft x 10ft.
I know people living in urban city apartments that grow food in their apartment and on their balcony. So, it can be done just about anywhere. There are greenhouses in Alaska and there's even a handbook for heating a greenhouse in extremely​ cold conditions. So... Like my grandmother says "where there's a will to do it, there's a way.". If that isn't true - I don't know what is!!
There are many misconceptions about growing food and there are many reasons for that. One major reason is the food industry relies on your dependence upon them. There's billions of dollars at stake and they surely do not want more of us less dependent. You and I know is time to hit the RESET and regain our independence.
During the series, @jerrybanfield's post Why Grow Grass and Buy Food? #168 showed his yard and his thoughts on why we are growing grass and not food with our yard. Maybe he should have read this series. I am almost sure that if he knew how much money he could save AND make - he would not be growing that lawn. Growing food is by far more rewarding than growing grass, even when you remove the financial element. We all know this. But, what many of us apparently don't know is: it is not all that hard to grow your own food!
Seriously! If Jerry might have spotted this series, maybe he might have shared it - which might have helped far more people than I am able to reach. I worked very hard on the series parts that I have released and I am ever grateful for the #curie votes on two parts of the series thus far. That surely helped to spread this message and that makes me even happier that I decided to create this exclusively for this platform.

We were created to be free and it's time to act like it.
