I read an article in my Computer class(feels like a million years ago) about off site backups. Basically as bank or business you have all your stock in 1 location then that location becomes compromised(info gets deleted, natural disaster...Anything!) you will lose everything. now with an off-site back up, all you do is go pick up what you need.
I was wondering if anyone has attempted this with plants and food? such as a full garden at home and a couple of miles away on a different type terrain(in case flooding became an issue) a backup garden/ food forest or what have you. Im not talking about prepping and having ready food in 2 locations(That would make an interesting future forum topic though!) I mean actual food production areas. If so then what would you plant? how would you maintain it? and what is a good distance to space them for safety reasons or convenience?
Little background as to why I asked this(My sister and her husband own 5 parcels of land ranging from 20-300 acres(cattle ranchers they need the grass) at each site they have fruit trees. funny thing is isnt apples on 1 then pears on the next. Its a full mix they did it for tax purposes(in Texas land cannot be classified as agriculture unless the cows are on it for 6 months out of the year. so the trees provided a year round solution).
