It's not a "doom" if you look at it from the planet's perspective, and even from our own perspective if we could only see that reversion to a pre/post industrial world will actually be a large scale benefit. Many people will die yes, that is sad and I do include myself in that, but it is a population correction that is inevitable and a consequence of our own stupidity. Also, given the fact that such a large reversal in industrialization may help to save the planet, this whole idea of "doom" is a bit silly. I'm sure the earth would say "blessing".

Git along, git along, git along little doggies...

KillJOY, DONT WORRY!!! My potatoes were hanging in almost complete darkness in the basement but I decided not to use mesh bags because any roots growing out would get caught between the mesh. Causing me stress, not just the potatoes!!!! :>
But I do have a very small basement type window - maybe next halloween I can get a all black spider type cloth thingie that I can hang over the window and scare (not just spiders away). I want to send a message that there's just not something right about this house. Also don't want them to look and peer inside and see my potato stash. Remember, I could be just around the corner...

Don't want to be seen as a halloweener, cause I'm not. More like a (someday in my dream mind will be) farmer that puts up with halloween (what, candy again?). Since I'm totally clueless being a newby potato farmer, heres a link that provides a lot of information. Maybe we can win a lot of converts and get a new "potato movement" going. That would postpone collapse for a few years...

Growing Potatoes in plastic rubbish/garbage bins

By the way you can live in suburbia and buy land outside suburbia for the purpose of farming. If I had $$$ and the choice, at this point $$$ in the stock market buys (greed, temporary happiness and desire for more $$$), but land and potato crop buys fulfillment (and full bellies all winter while your gorging and laughing at this peak oil thing). Ok, I'm just having fun. Or am I...
