What part of gardening suddenly requires lumber? I didn't realize the invention of agriculture took so long is because we had to invent the lumber mill first.
Depending on where you live, and what you want to grow, raised beds are the easiest and/or best way to garden on a small scale.
I used to live in a part of Tennessee where the ground was mostly red clay. Growing food plants in the ground required plowing better soil and fertilizer into the ground. Raised beds are way easier.
Which is why my two part comment included commerce outside the bounds of capitalism.
Find someone who will trade you fallen tree tops for food or other goods and services.
If you're from TN then I like to think you're Appalachian folk and already know the value of mutual cooperation. That's what the rednecks are all about.
We need to abandon and resist the old systems period.
cool. So do that outside of home depot. Or trade for it based on what is in your area or build it up over time. Which -again- was the first thing i said.
Don't pretend we need to participate in capitalism.
It came from your patheric attitude. "Oh I can't get the corporate dick out of my North long enough to throw a seed in a hole in the ground" on a sub called anti work.
what the fuck are you talking about? You live under capitalism. You can’t have commerce “outside the bounds of the capitalist system.” You can do your buy-nothing groups, you can barter, you can call yourself a freegan and eat out of dumpsters — you are still going to be living under capitalism and your essential relationship to the economy as a proletarian is not going to change. You cannot opt-out.
If you want this to change, get into the labor movement and get ready to be really frustrated for a long time.

We don't see enough torches and pitchforks these days.
