Destiny Survival

            Len Pense didn’t expect to be doing what he’s doing now and be so successful at it.  He wanted to get away from everything and live peacefully in the Missouri Ozarks, only to find his system of raised bed survival gardening has drawn a lot of attention.  In fact, he’s teaching classes and has written a book, showing people how to do it for themselves.

            His raised bed system is low maintenance, intensive and organic.  He says the 4 ft. X 16 ft. area can feed two people for a year in most areas, even in winter, offering a high return on the investment.

            The reasonably priced classes are on gardening, including building the beds, planning and planting, canning, and cooking.  Classes are mostly held on Saturdays.  Space is limited and reservations are required.

            Pense’s farm isn’t far from Branson, MO, so you could make classes part of a vacation.  As a matter of fact, after taking the classes, anyone is welcome to help out with the work throughout the season to enhance your hands-on experience.  You can help with planting, fertilizing, harvesting, canning, etc.

            Pense was featured in an article from “Homestead” magazine, which you can read when you click here.  His Web site has info about the classes offered.  It’s at http://www.gardeningrevolution.com .  If you contact Len Pense, be sure to mention DestinySurvival.
