| New Garden Bed |
After a season of working relatively seriously on the garden and trying to produce food on a smaller scale, it's apparent that the barrier to entry for commercial scale natural food production is really high. It takes a lot of general and theoretical knowledge, plus a lot of site specific knowledge that's only acquired through hands on work and study over time. It also takes a lot of hard physical labor, because initially in the early learning stages, buying machines to do the work would be an enormous waste of money and material. Furthermore, continuing to produce food with "imported" materials and machines implies you're going to do that year after year, and probably never turn a profit.
Starting from scratch is difficult and requires a huge investment of time and labor, and probably minimal capital investment.
