andygardener Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 What if they refuse to work? I'd guess the same thing that would happen to me if I refused to work, they would not get any money. I could try charging customers for work I had just decided I couldn't be bothered to do, but i doubt i'd get paid, and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is the result of you having no money? I could try charging customers for work I had just decided I couldn't be bothered to do, but i doubt i'd get paid, and rightly so. But what if you are FORCED to work for OTHERS, and denied the ability to work for yourself. Are you not a slave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not a slave? Put it this way, I have to be at certain properties at certain times to carry out certain tasks. I get money in return for being at those properties at those times and carrying out those tasks. Do i feel like a slave? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you happy to be servant to another via the land? Worketh my field and I'll let you keep half the produce brother. Work hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of customers, very nice manageable farm and lots of land for the horses and plenty left over for veg and cottage garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should they sign off and compete for your 4 acres? Undercut you and grow their own veg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undercut you and grow their own veg? They couldn't really undercut me by growing veg could they? I'm a horticulturalist not a market gardener. If you mean they could become gardeners and charge less than i and the good number of other proffesionals on SF do, plenty try it every day on SF and good luck to them, and even better luck to their customers.

IF you have 4 acres they can do. There is an acre per person in the UK. I doubt you can use it intensely enough to warrant your use of the land in terms of 'land productivity'.

I use it intensively enough to require spending large ammounts buying other lands produce to feed the horses over winter to top up what my land can produce. You were screaming about my labour being slavery minutes ago, now you know my "slavery" bought land the "slave" is the bad guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were screaming about my labour being slavery minutes ago, now you know my "slavery" bought land the "slave" is the bad guy? You still require the produces of a larger landowner? You must work for the land. And a man without land must work for the produce of the land. Yet he cannot produce anything from the land himself.
