And a trade war clogging up phosphate shipping (I don't know if it happened, but the timing was right and that's a major route) definitely helped. I recommend everyone learn to grow their own food. I have a good guidebook if you've got like half an acre and enough room to dig furrows (G, author of the guidebook, insisted that was how to do it and he grew the best watermelons I ever et. Size of my thigh. Been gone a couple decades and I've still been looking for watermelons that delicious) between the rows.
If you have a patio/balcony for your outdoor space instead of a yard, square foot gardening is the way to go.
Yeah every fertilizer plant in Bangladesh and most in India were shut down earlier this year due to the closing of the straight. They may have reopened by now, but they lack of production could have impacts. Stores of fertilizer were used up to compensate and with heat/water stress, you need more fertilizer.
There is still time to plant things if you can. Do some research to make sure you can harvest in your climate zone (and the zones have been updated now as well in the last few years)before the frost arrives, if it ever does. Be prepared to baby your garden to make sure it doesnt scorch in the heat.
They have those mesh whatsits you can make a sunshade out of and turn full sun into partial sun. This summer's "argument" is whether we build a hoop house (hoop house fuck i love saying that. maybe if i stop having so much fun saying hoop house it will help my argument) over the garden.
