Weeds are plants we have not discovered a use for yet... Or something like that.
Compost tea is an easy to make plant food... Stinky but easy.

"Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all." — John Whittier

"There seem to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did, in plundering their conquered neighbors. This is robbery. The second by commerce, which is generally cheating. The third by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a kind of continual miracle, wrought by the hand of God in his favor, as a reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry." — Benjamin Franklin

"I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture, its breed of useful animals, and other branches of a husbandman's cares." — George Washington

"Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. The small landowners are the most precious part of a state." — Thomas Jefferson

"If you see more than what's in front of you
You might see some of Heaven's view" -David Dunn

I am trying my hardest to start a CSA on my land... I have hundreds of signature supporting the idea but sadly no money. I applied for a grant recently but that opportunity was not meant to be, so I will continue on. Almost no body produces fruits or vegetables here, I live in a sea of cattle, which is great because I can find healthy local meat ( and manure ) but I want to provide fresh organic produce to the local population... I am very blessed with two green thumbs, I hope I can grow more each year and share more each season... And perhaps make a modest living at some point...

That sounds like a wonderful plan! You know, baby steps and a ton of faith will get you where you're going, don't stop dreaming
