What would I do with 50 SBD
I would turn it into over $2000.00 real world dollars in savings. That's what I would do with it!
How Would I Do That
I think, with some planning and careful budgeting, I could use it to provide about 80% of my families vegetables over next 7 to 8 months which is easily $60 every week for our four adult household.

The Plan
What does 50 SBD actually mean right now?
*Prices will vary
If I was to be chosen to receive the SBD I would, as seems only fair to me, EQUAL the input from my own savings which equates to around $125.00 AUD.
I already have the tools, irrigation and about half the seeds needed to get going. I also have a couple of contacts for nitrogen(coffee grounds) needed to kick start the bales faster. Which leaves the main investments as the Bales and the Compost as we just don't produce enough Compost to get this project up and running. We need:
18 bales Hay @ $3.00 each : $54.00
9 bags Organic Compost @ $3.95 each : $35.55
2 Steel Posts @ $14.90 each: $29.80
What ever remains will go to seeds.
I estimate that with careful planing and intelligent planting there should be easily enough food here to keep us going for many delicious months of home grown salads and add to that the existing fruit trees, herbs and potted edibles we are already growing. This small investment of 50 SBD and my equal savings will easily make an enormous difference to our food budget, our health and our quality of life.
I honestly think that for such a small outlay, less that a fortnights vegetable bill, almost anyone with even a small space can make a huge change in their life, and save some money as well. Why not give it a go?
