Honestly, with my raised beds, between compost, seeds and fertilizer I probably lose money compared to buying tomatoes from the store. Home grown garden tomatoes are 10x better quality than grocery store tomatoes.
And if ever there is a day you can’t buy tomatoes for whatever reason, you will have them.
we actually switched to gerkins. so, if theres ever a day where we can't buy pickels, we'd have them, but not the pickling ingredients as we can't grow our own vinegar
You can! You just need a vinegar mother! I've not done it myself, but the way I understand it you can transfer the mother once the vinegar is to your liking, then on to the next one.
I had a look and its like a red liver looking thing? I'm not sure I'm prepared for this
