You can filter by “native to” “introduced to” or “hardiness zone” among other properties, but plants aren’t usually bound by country like humans are! Location data is surprisingly inconsistent or incorrect across sources. We’re working to c

It’s true, it’s not a big concern, and I’m happy to explain further — no negative tone taken. You’re right, it was a cop-out for me to divert towards other platforms. We do take responsibility for the outcomes of permapeople. On the origina

Will take a look at the bug report, thank you. The international seed swapping is a valid concern for sure, but the majority of folks swapping seed are experienced gardeners, and know what they're looking for. We've built a truste

Thanks for your input! > How many cubic feet of soil, at what depth, do I need in order to stop purchasing food plants from the store, year-round. While this is a pipe-dream of many gardeners, it's not necessarily realistic. You wou

The industry is absolutely inefficient when you consider what inputs required: pesticides, seed, machinery, fossil fuels for planting/harvesting/transport, massive government subsidies -- not to mention the depletion of the soils

This is absolutely not for everyone. It's for everyone who wants to grow their own. Commercially produced food is not all that efficient when you consider all the inputs: fuel, machinery, millions of dollars for operation costs, seed -
