    Very true, I love gardening, but its very hard to eke out a meaningful calorie count.

    Potatoes.

    Until you get blight, anyway, then you’re fucked.

      Actually this is true. I grew potatoes once, in big tubs, and ended up with like 30kg from 1 square metre. I still have some boiled and frozen in my freezer

        Yeah they produce insanely well.

        Potatoes for calories / nutrients + beans for protein / nutrients + (I havent tried this yet but) high-producing grain like Amaranth for calories seems the best combo, but you’ll still need community to survive no doubt
