Ok so I know its a lot, but its what I want to do. I'm working to create a more sustainable backyard that focuses on producing more of my own food - especially fruits and vegetables. Plus fresh eggs and possible meat chickens and/or rabbits EVENTUALLY. Through Aquaponics I'll be able to grow more veg in my semi greenhouse and as a byproduct every 2 years or so I'll get to harvest fresh fish!
I'm also totally engrossed with what I call Dying Arts. The loss of the craftsman is a sad sad situation. Which is why I am apparently single handedly working to learn as much as possible. Plus I totally love learning and enjoy it and look forward to it. Its just so exciting to learn and try and experiment, so that is what I'm working on now.
I know its a little hippytastic, but it makes me happy - and isn't that all that matters?

It is a little hippytastic...that is true! But it's neat!! It will be cool to just pick one at a time and eventually cross them off...props for getting a literal list together to see and use for motivation
ReplyDeleteWell I made the mistake of watching Food, Inc. and since then I'm disgusted with the way food is grown, processed, and delivered to local stores.
ReplyDeleteThat led to several other documentaries which were equally as disturbing and angering. Plus I've always loved gardening and have wanted chickens for a while... so now I'm doing something about it.
In the process I'll make my self less dependent on others for food, become more self sufficient, and make less impact on the earth.
So bring on the tie die and Birkenstock (OK skip the Birkenstock!)
