Now Anarchists in the Seattle Autonomous Zone Have a ‘Garden’ and It’s as Funny as You’d ExpectPosted at 7:30 pm on June 11, 2020 by Nick Arama

Dumpster fire near the CHAZIt’s pretty clear that the mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan, and the Governor of Washington, Jay Inslee, have no idea what the heck they are doing or how to respond to armed insurrectionists taking over a police station and several blocks in the city.

Both seemed more intent on attacking President Donald Trump than addressing the problem. Inslee actually said that the anarchists were “largely peaceful” and termed the “protest” “fundamentally American,” in a completely bizarre statement defending the anarchists. Inslee wasn’t upset with them but with Trump offering to help them if they didn’t get their act together. That, Inslee said, is “what we will not allow.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Autonomous Zone’ is dealing with problems you would think would develop in a bad socialist ‘utopia.’

More issues with the this guy who says he really isn’t a warlord, but is acting as a de facto police force according to reports.

The #SeattleAutonomousZone is devolving into warlordism.

Rapper Raz Simone, who has been patrolling the barricades with an AK-47 and a handgun, has begun assaulting residents who disobey him.

"We are the police now," says his crew. "We are the leaders."

Here is another video of Simone allegedly assaulting another protestor the same evening:

And here is a video of Simone allegedly harassing a woman in "The Family," an organized prostitution scheme.

But hey, look, they’re trying to figure out how to be self-sustainable to deal with that little problem that arises in socialists “utopias,” uneven use of resources.

As we previously reported, an activist in the zone claimed they’d run out of food because the homeless took it all and the activist begged for more food donations, particularly vegan or soy products.

Now they’ve planted a garden, looks like they’re trying to put down roots, intending to stay for a long time. Except for one problem, they don’t understand the concept of planting and putting down roots.

Lol the Antifa people in the “autonomous zone” are taking up farming. They poured some top soil onto the grass, seem to have simply placed some of the plants onto the soil rather than digging holes, and are expecting to keep the plot sufficiently watered with a watering can.

Also they’ve planted enough crops to provide moderately large portions of salad to four people in about a month

But hey, do you think they’ll figure that out? A farmer weighed in on how silly they are.

Commie farming thread begin!

im a farmer, these lazy bastards claim they made a garden to feed their commune. Lets take it apart.

First off, they laid down brown gardening paper and just put potting soil ontop, the ground is still living turf and since it's a park its







Yukari borgar@GrillBorgar


likely compacted.
This means that roots will have a very hard time penetrating the turf layer, and they will likely have a garden full of weeds within a week as the weeds push through their paper and soil.

Don't be lazy, either kill the turf with paper and plant in it

or do a proper lasagna garden with multiple soil layers

This is what they should have done, but again they are lazy socialists that only know how to grown meme plants in their parents backyard vegi garden







Yukari borgar@GrillBorgar


paper is highlighted, also u can see the potting mix they used in an inch thick layer. Also their "sophisticated watering system... one watering can, no hoses as far as i can see.
they planted marigolds, how sweet, but you cant live off those. lets see what else they planted

lmao, a couple scrawny romain lettuce plants and potted herbs and vegis from a gardening store. They didn't grown any of this from seed, meaning if these plants die they are fucked and cant plant more. Also garden store plants are GMO so they can't seed save either.







Yukari borgar@GrillBorgar


Also the calore-calorie ratio is horrible here! let me explain. they spend around 100-200 calories to plant all that lettuce, they get 5 calories back per plant. so thats a return of -95 calories. This garden is making them hungrier and giving them almost nothing.

consider butternut squash from seed, after all is said and done you can plant 5-6 plants for 100-200 calories and get 63 cal per lb from each squash with the plant, with each plant producing 5-25 lbs of squash.
so an average return of 630 cal for 100-200 cal spent.





Yukari borgar@GrillBorgar


tldr they are using meme plants that spend more calories than they produce, and this garden is completely unsustainable and unable to last longer than a season, and cannot feed even one person.
