FOOD 4 WEALTH

How much room will I need to set up a plot?
The size of the plot can vary from, as small as a few containers sitting in a courtyard, to as large as 15 by 15 foot. However, the ideal size is anywhere from 8 by 8 foot to 15 by 15 foot. These dimensions have been shown to significantly aid the ecological processes that will work towards its success. Even the biggest size, 15 by 15 foot, can fit into the average suburban property several times over. This is a highly productive way of growing food in a very small space.
Is this the same as organic vegetable gardening?
Absolutely not! The only thing they have in common is that they both produce chemical-free food. However, organic vegetable gardening is very labor intensive. The Food 4 Wealth method, on the other hand, is far more advanced. It's a way of setting up a living, breathing ecosystem that uses edible plants. The result is a method of producing fresh organic food that requires virtually no maintenance, produces several times more (in a given area) and is self-perpetuating.
Why aren't we already growing food in this way?
Mother Nature has been growing food in this way for millions of years. I have just been able to apply the same principles to the types of food we like to eat, in a very small area.Humans like to see themselves as separate from Mother Nature. As a species we prospered when we learnt how to cultivate food, so it's difficult to turn back to where we came from- nature. It might even feel like a step in the wrong direction. But if we can let go of our need to control every living thing on the planet, and start to work with nature, we actually gain more control by being able to grow food more efficiently than ever before. It's a paradox- but it works!
I've never grown food before. Is this a good way to start?
Absolutely! If you have never grown food before, then you are actually at an advantage in some ways. People who use traditional gardening techniques can take a little while to leave Mother Nature alone and have faith that she will deliver. Traditional gardening is very problem-focused and technical (which actually appeals to some people). The Food 4 Wealth method is much simpler and it's results-focused, making it perfect for first-timers.
How much money can I save?
I have a 15 by 15 foot plot which saves me $100 per week. That's around $5000 per year. Considering I live in a freezing cold area, many people in more temperate climates may be able to save more than that.
Will I need a degree to understand the e-book?
Absolutely not! My main purpose behind the e-book and videos is to give everyday people the skills they need to grow their own food. I have not written this for the academic (although academics will love it, I'm sure). It has been put together so that it can help as many people as possible. I would especially love to see it reach people with financial difficulties who are looking for simple, effective solutions that work.
What if I already have a vegetable garden?
The Food 4 Wealth method can easily be adapted to your existing vegetable garden. There is a section in the e-book devoted to it. You will only have to make a few minor physical changes to your garden, and then start applying the principles and techniques. In fact, my plot started as a traditional vegetable garden and over several years of testing, it developed into a flourishing Food 4 Wealth plot. Luckily, yours will not take several years. In the very first season your plot will produce many times more food than your old traditional vegetable garden, and require no pesticides, herbicides or inorganic fertilizers.
