In our previous chapters, we have learned about food preservation by drying.
We also learned about food groups found in a forest.
Now we will learn about easy to do insect farms.
Bible said that a man lived by eating grasshoppers.
Possible. Grasshoppers are highly nutritious and there is usually plenty of them.
Insects like grasshoppers thrive in tall grass where there is plenty of wild edible plants for them to eat.
So if you want to have lots of grasshoppers on some part of your land, all you have to do is to let the grass grow taller.
Grasshoppers are also attracted to grass piles. You make a grass pile by cutting down grass and gathering a lot of it on one place to make a pile.
Pile of grass works as mulch. It makes soil beneath it more fertile. It attracts earthworms, slugs and snails. Keep adding fresh grass when the existing one dries up.
Earthworms, slugs and snails are edible too. They must be cooked.
They can also be dried to save for later.
You will also notice some wild edible plants growing through the grass pile if the grass pile is about 10 or less inches tall.
This is an easy way to get food. You can forage your land for wild edible plants and grasshoppers.
If you have a land, and you want free fruit, consider growing trees.
Lets learn how to grow trees easy way.
Growing trees is too easy.
If you have a land, the next step is to buy a tree and plant it.
You must choose a location. It should be in a spot that gets the most sunlight. You can plant dwarf trees if space is the problem.
To plant tree, dig a hole. The hole should be twice as wide as the tree's root ball and just as deep.
Place the tree in the hole. Make sure the tree is straight and centered in the hole.
Use the soil you removed from the hole and place it back in the hole to cover tree roots. Make sure you break up the soil into smallest pieces.
Water the tree after planting.
Finally, if there is a lot of grass available on your land, cut the grass down and use it as a mulch around a tree. You simply place lots of cut grass around a tree, around 8 inches tall grass buildup.
This mulch will benefit the tree, but also it will attract edible insects.
Just make sure to leave few inches of distance between tree trunk and mulch.
Later, make sure to water if the soil happens to be dry on touch. Make sure not to water too much. Only water if soil is dry.
Tree will produce fruit that can be eaten, dried for later use or used to lure in more insects.
In our next chapter, we will learn about easy to grow vegetables that any autistic retard can grow!!!
