"Instead of buying seeds, save your seeds from the stuff that you grew and be your own seed bank," she advises.The video also emphasizes the superior quality of homegrown produce. "When you grow your own food, you're going to notice the taste is different, the smell is more pungent, you're going to notice that it lasts longer," she states.
