Ripping up more clay soil isn't gonna help the soil be nutrient rich. Plants grow really shitty or not at all without nutrients.
We need to feed the topsoil. We feed the topsoil with oil based fertilizer,but it ain't gonna help it with coal.Besides coal is hazardous to dig and if oil is gone what what will power the machines to get the MASSIVE amount of coal required to try to sustain a big huge factory farm conglomerate?
If you want to avoid all this stress yank up that useless turf in your yard if you have one and use it to grow food.. share it or sell it.Enrich your yard by using compost. You can learn to make compost and by using a planting stick you do not ruin the topsoil.And you can learn how to can and store foods without refrigeration you know ancient tech, it served us well before refrigerators. Root cellars, drying, etc.And you can share the knowledge base with your neighbors.That way at least y'all won't starve when the shit hits the fan. and..Learn to find wild foods.People assume plants are weeds or poison because they don't know what to look for.So become and educated forager. I must have eaten over 100 bucks worth of wild blackberries raspberries,mulberries and cherries for free this year (not counting the wild vegetable plants.)..Because I know how to forage.Being poor as dirt and sick of eating the crap you can afford gets old fast So I forage poverty created the necessity,and I eat well during the spring/summer/fall months just by walking along roadsides in fields woods foraging..
