There is no damn money in farming!
I am sick of hearing how ?money grows right from the ground? that is bullshit.
We started a few months ago and I will post my stats
I did not want to invest in prime land without a secure return, so I used a sand lot next to my building that the owner said I could use for free. Our thinking was once we start raking in the dough we will get some top land. I got some seeds, some squash and I think some cucumbers because they were on sale on the internet and we all like cucumbers and I know what makes a good cucumber.
After throwing the seeds down, I poured some water on them. I made sure to use good quality, drinkable water right from the faucet. I am not a seed placement expert so I didn?t bother with it, but we were going to get a guy who knows that stuff if this were to take off. The next day I was expecting at least something, but nothing ? not one damn cucumber.
I threw some more seeds down and arranged them around, and this time I poured on like 200 gallons of water. I did some research, and found out that lots of people are using fertilizer, which is basically animal crap, so we got free fertilizer from an old woman with a Pomeranian. I mixed it with the water and poured it on the seeds. Still, nothing. I got some dead leaves blowing in from a tree across the street but that kind of greenery is useless to me.
On the plus side, I built an awesome sign that says ?Johnson?s Farm? so I did have the best branding.
I am really pissed at the building owner, because it seems like his ?land? just doesn't work. Like I said I have been using water all my life so I know the water is good. After two weeks, I found out that harvest was last month, but I am not planning to just make money once a year. I need these crops to grow year round, and I am getting zilch.
I have done everything I could do. Here are my stats, after wasting hundreds of dollars and hours.
0:400 feet.
Everyone saying you can get better than that is lying or on crack. Because somehow crack makes you use photoshop to inflate your stats.
