Part 1 of Swangkee Gardening
This is a Photo of the Swangkee Brothers’ Spring Water House, which Spring puts out 50 thousand Gallons of Water per Day, if we Want it! We mixed up 240 Wheelbarrows of Mortar by Hand with a Wheelbarrow and Shovel, and laid more than 10,000 Used Fire Bricks, in Order to Build this Permanent House for a Developed Spring for Watering our Gardens, for a Cost of less than $2,000 for Building Materials, even though it Required 2 Years of Labor in Order to get it Done. Moreover, most of the Work cannot be seen: because it is Under the Ground. Indeed, there is a 200-feet-long Trench that leads up to this House, which Trench is sloping from 16 feet to 20 feet deep, and filled with various sizes of Rocks that were gathered by Hand, mostly by Vern’s Children, out of the Garden, which were loaded onto a Wagon by Hand (being more than 100 Wagonloads), and Transported by Mule-power for nearly a quarter of a mile, and then Shoveled by Hand into the Trench, which has 4 Rows of Ceramic Tiles laid in the Bottom, which Allows the Water to run into the Cracks between the Tiles, which Tiles Allow the Water to run into the Spring House, which has a Concrete Box 20 feet under the Ground, which Collects the Spring Water, which is then Pumped for nearly a quarter of a mile up the Hill to our Profitable $wangkee Gardens, which are ALL-MINERAL Organic Gardens, which are quite Amazing to the Average Person, who has never Seen nor Tasted Swangkee Produce.
The above Photos show the Foundation and the Beginning of this Project for the Spring House, which Required 2 Peaceful Years of Moderate Labor in Order to Complete it. Indeed, I did most of the Work, alone, while Vern was Grieving over his X-wife, who Divorced him for "NO FAULT." Vern is Standing on the Brick Wall, Overlooking the Field that can be seen in the next Photo, which he and his Son Lon Cleared by Hand with the Use of 3 Mules. It is about 5 Acres, which was grown up with Trees, Briars, Thorns, Brush, and whatever; and it Required about 5 Years of Hard Labor in Order to get it Cleared; and after that, Vern's Family Planted it with Sweet Potatoes, Watermelons, Bell Peppers, and other Vegetables for Sale, for a Net Income of less than 25 Cents per Hour for their Labors; and yet no one Complained: because they Chose to Do it for the Love of it, except for Vern's Wife, who never Touched it: because she had other Work to Do, such as Sewing Clothes for Sale. Remember that there was a Period of about 7 Years that this Field did not have so much as one Weed Growing in it during the Summers: because Vern's Family kept it Clean with Mule Tools and Hand Tools.
This Photo shows a Part of the 2-feet-deep Ditch, which I dug by Hand, without Pay, from the Spring House to the Garden that is on our Hilltop, which Garden is 1,200 feet from the Spring House. It Required 2 Months of steady Work during the Springtime, in Ground that was Extremely Difficult to deal with: because much of it was Sticky Clay, while the Remainder was mostly ROCKS.
(Introduction
to Various Methods for Gardening)
This Photo Gallery contains a LOT of Important Information, which most People in the World have never considered, such as Profitable $wangkee Fruit Tree Houses: because they have never even Heard of such Houses, much less of All-Mineral Organic Gardening, even though they have heard of Organic Gardening, which I call Orgimmick Gardening: because, if all of the Minerals are not Present and Available in the Topsoil, the Plants cannot Obtain them; and therefore, those Plants are not Healthy and Happy. Likewise, the People who Eat such Produce are not getting ALL of the Necessary Minerals, and therefore they are not Satisfied after Eating, which Causes them to Eat and EAT, and still not be Satisfied: because they are STARVING for those Minerals, which cannot be Obtained by any other Means: because Vitamin and Mineral Supplements are no Substitute for the Real Thing. Indeed, you can Trick yourself, if you Want to; but, I prefer to get my Vitamins and Minerals from the Natural Food that I Eat, which is grown in our Gardens without any Harmful Chemicals, Pesticides, Herbicides, nor Poisons of any Kind. Moreover, you might be wondering WHY that I would not use Herbicides, in Order to Kill certain Weeds? Well, that is because there is a Better Way, which is to use Profitable $wangkee Mulching Rocks, for which I have several Enlightening Photographs. Therefore, please be Patient, and Learn your Lessons one Step at a Time: because I am Introducing a whole New Method for Gardening that almost no one has Heard about, much less Practice.
This Photo shows a Portion of the West Side of our Rock House, which is made with 3 Terrace Walls, whereby the Outermost Wall is about 17 feet thick at the Bottom, and about 60 feet long. That is, it is about 17 feet from the Bottom of the Wall to the Bottom of our Rock Houses, which makes this Wall “Tornado-resistant.” Notice the Young Cucumber Plants in the First Terrace.
This Photo
shows the same Cucumbers, after they Matured. Notice
the one Cucumber to the left of the 40-feet-long Row. We canned up more than 300
Gallons of Delicious Swangkee Pickles from this one Row, using some of
the Dill Weed that you can see on the Terrace, plus Montana Clover Honey, Apple
Cider Vinegar, Hot Peppers, Garlic Cloves, Gray Sea Salt, and SWEAT: because we
did the Work in another House, which had no Air-conditioning. Those Swangkee
Pickles did not Taste like VINEGAR, SALT, nor Overbearing Spices; but, they Tasted like
Semi-sweet Mildly-sour, CUCUMBERS with a Montana Clover Honey Flavor with a
Touch of Garlic and a slightly Hot Pepper Flavor.

This Photo shows the Amazing Difference between 2 Garlic Plants. The Plant on the left is grown by the All-Mineral Organic Method, and the Plant on the right is an Example of one that is grown by Modern Chemical Methods, without the Use of Natural Fertilizers. However, neither Plant was Allowed to Mature, and therefore the Garlic Bulbs have not fully Developed. Nevertheless, you will have to Agree that there just MIGHT be a Major Difference between the Nutritional VALUE of these 2 Plants –– neither of which were Analyzed in any Scientific Laboratory, except for our Mouths. Indeed, you might Imagine that the Garlic on the left would be TOUGH, Stringy, Strong-flavored, HOT, or even Inedible; but, the Truth is that the Garlic on the right was Hotter, Stronger-flavored, and much less Satisfying! In Fact, the All-Mineral Organic Garlic was quite Edible just as it was: because it was so Mild, Tender, and SWEET that it could be Eaten like a Mild Sweet Onion!
This Photo shows some of our Cabbages, which had NO Worm Damage, and were SOLID, Sweet, Tender, Flavorful, and made the Finest Sauerkraut in the World, which were grown without any Pesticides, Chemical Fertilizers, nor Poisons of any Kind. Therefore, they could Honestly be called Swangkee Cabbages.
This Photo
shows a long Row of that 3-feet-tall Garlic, as well as a Row of Climbing
English Peas, which
we were Eating by the 15th of April, in 1995. Once again, no Bugs
bothered them, no Maggot Root-Rot, and no Bitter Elephant Garlic. (We do not
like Elephant Garlic, and cannot Understand how anyone could Sell it.)
This Photo
shows ONE Hot Pepper Plant, and only about one third of the Total Peppers that
were Harvested from this one Plant. Does it not make you wonder WHY that such
Hot Peppers are more than $16 per Pound at the Orgimmick Garden Produce Store,
if you can even find them??
