You want to be more self sufficient?
Well here’s a way to grow your own cooking oil.
There are two basic kinds of sunflowers, confectionery the kind you eat, and black oil the kind you feed to birds. The black oil sunflower seed is the kind you need. These have twice the amount of oil as the confectionery. These seeds are easy found at almost anywhere.
I bought this 40 pound bag for $14.00. This is enough seeds to grow as many sunflowers as you need. I used two flowerbeds on the back of the house and the back of my garage. And covered the beds with seeds, I had so many it was like a carpet of sunflower seeds.
And that was it.
Sunflowers grow like weeds they need little water, little room, and grow almost anywhere. And you can grow a large amount in a small space…
