I live in a house with a big yard. I can't rightly guess the size but it is way larger than the yard (front and back) you used for your 1 year project.
I also live in a country which is almost certainly about to enter an economic recession (at best) or crisis, and I have no job. I plan to survive by expanding my current small edibles setup to avoid need of a supermarket. However, I've had a hard time finding soil or matter for composting. No companies offering mulch or anything of the sort. The soil is purely sand so it is not great for planting, either.
I am unsure of where to go from here. I have a bunch of money saved for a rainy day. I could spare some to buy soil, but the only thing sold around here is peat. I'm not sure it is worth buying if I cannot mix it with anything else. I guess my question is what would you do in my situation, but that's way too broad, so perhaps, if you have any online survivalist food resources I'd be grateful.
As a bonus question, I have seen you've visited a lot of self sustainable communities. I am considering moving towards that if things go south. There are none I know of here and the internet yields no resources. So what should I look for? I know little to nothing about how they work
