Your comment was the firstI have heard about KNF. As an eternally skeptical microbiologist, I suspected it to be similar to many “organic” farming methods, some of which isn’t scientifically sound, but just gave it a quick review and it seems to be based on some solid principles. I’ll be looking into it for my own garden. Thanks for the recommendation!
I use trap crops entirely now and that really does help tremendously with cruciferous, especially using nasturtium, but yeah, I’ve given up on Brussels sprouts here. Nothing seems to save them.
Most of the people I know are expanding their gardens
Not necessarily cheap work, if you don’t already have good soil and such. It’s also more time intensive than people realize.
Recommend strawberries in the ground, tomatoes, snap peas, and zucchini for the easy stuff. To learn.
Anyone looking to build their soil should look up Korean Natural Farming. Cultivate and feed your local microbes and they’ll feed you. And it’s cheap.

Anyone calling any variety of squash “easy” haven’t ever gardened and dealt with squash bugs (vine borer)
Fair. My issue is cruciferous turning holy and then dead, no matter what I spray them with.
