              By this logic, why not buy 200,000 tomato plants with the million dollars?

              $50 in a few decades will be worth very little compared to now because of inflation. Take the lump sum and invest more on the early side. That's how smart people successfully implement compounding.

              Edit:
              Also, that $6,250 times 52 weeks in a year is not $46M; it's $325k. Not to mention that the $6,250 takes a year from initial investment, so it takes 2 years to hit that $325k. And that's revenue, not profit. And it assumes dependable harvest. It's a joke shit post that I'm taking way too seriously, right?

                      As someone who has a garden and has successfully grown garlic from cut ends of store bulbs...

                      It's not worth the labor.

                      I garden, yes, but the economy of scales of buying at the grocery store is much lower than growing your own vegetables. You garden because you want to enjoy vegetables that are either heirloom or you want the freshness.

                      Between the labor, watering, fertilizing, maintaining, etc. it's simply cheaper to buy at the store.

                        On what fuckin land?

                        Broseph, I could just build a factory. Just take $20 a week making sourdough starter and wait 6 weeks and build a factory making bread. Just ignore every other cost and the cost of owning land and taxes and real life.

                          This is how I see all of the "I'm going to move to the country and grow my own food" crowd.

                          They're essentially glorifying subsistence farming, a lifestyle that humans have collectively been trying to escape since we invented agriculture.

                            And in 10 years you'll have more wealth than all previous humans combined! Payday advance places hate this one trick.

                              Been growing plants inside and out for over 30-years, never had success with garlic. I feel so dumb because it seems the easiest thing in the world to grow. Going to plant this October and see what happens.

                                This is tiktok after all, so yes, they fully believe they’re the very first to discover agriculture, and no, no one else has yet. It’s so cool to be them, according to them.

                                  My parent's garden has literally thousands of garlic plants that show up unplanned every year. When clearing part of the garden to plant something else, pulling up like 30 garlic stalks is normal. Come harvest time, they give away as much garlic as they can and they still have so much that they have to throw a bunch of it out because it all goes bad before they can use it.

                                    I've lived in a subsistence farming community. You know who doesn't glorify and romanticize it? Farmers.

                                    Don't get me wrong, hobby farming often is the best of both worlds, and smallholder farming and gardening fucking make life 20,000 times better. But making the jump to letting your whole life depend on rainfall just to eat is madness.

                                    We as a species have 50 centuries of receipts to tell us that subsistence farmers eventually lose the game in a long enough time line. It only takes 1 season for that to ruin lives and communities.

                                      Just don't plant cheap stuff.

                                      I will probably never grow onions, potatoes, corn, celery and other vegetables that are always cheap.

                                      I will plant things that are easy and or pricey. Tomatoes for sure, if I bought the tomatoes at the store I would probably have spent $500 just on tomatoes a season. Chives are also easy to manage and expensive in store. Aspargus is stupid expensive and is almost hard to get rid of once established. Some berry type fruits are also worth growing if you have spare land for them since they come back each year.

                                        we plant onions because that way we never have to think "hey, do we have onions?"

                                          I've lived in a subsistence farming community. You know who doesn't glorify and romanticize it? Farmers.

                                          Don't get me wrong, hobby farming often is the best of both worlds, and smallholder farming and gardening fucking make life 20,000 times better. But making the jump to letting your whole life depend on rainfall just to eat is madness.

                                          We as a species have 50 centuries of receipts to tell us that subsistence farmers eventually lose the game in a long enough time line. It only takes 1 season for that to ruin lives and communities.
