Homesteading tips!

Homesteading is rough and a lot of labour, but there is a lot of rewards that come from it, so here are some tips that can help you start and make it through.

Be realistic. Adapt to your place rather than adapt it to you. Start small and learn what best grows where you are.

Use what you have. Be resourceful. You don’t have to spend thousands or put yourself in debt in order to start. Selling some of what you get - eggs, for example, can help make your home life more sustainable. With that said, it can help to lower initial expense until you start generating a more disposable income - I recommend attempting to save by utilizing cold water rather than hot, taking advantage of solar energy and cutting down on non-necessities such as TV or AC. Look into using a clothesline to save energy and money and you can even make your own soap!

Be patient. When you first start out, it’s not going to look the same it does in your head, and that’s ok! Your hard work will pay off in time. It’s a slow process that requires patience, and this lifestyle is often unpredictable!

START A COMPOST ASAP! You can even begin a compost in an apartment building in your kitchen. Coffee grounds go great in them as well! Familiarize yourself with what can and cannot be composted before starting.

Freeze your eggs and build your own nesting boxes and brooding boxes if you have chickens. A great way to build nesting boxes is cutting up old buckets and filling them! Make sure to predator-proof always.

Speaking of animals, if you plan on keeping goats I recommend an electric fence if you can manage it. Goats need strong fences.

Begin making the most of weeds! You can use nettle to feed animals (and people) and dandelion has many uses as well.

Keep yourself prepared for emergencies like power outages!

Consider making your own drip irrigation system.

Educate yourself on the plants you are keeping and how to look out for plant disease.

Learn how to create and sharpen your own tools!

Learning how to dehydrate food and plants is important for preservation.

Prepare for winter ahead of time!

The silliest part of our modern culture is the belief that one person deserves any more than the other.

Amazing, helps to reduce the energy problem.

It should be said. Agriculture is slowly destroying the world

.

The war effects groceries. A large portion of the world’s wheat and corn is being held up in Ukraine and Russia because of the war and therefore food prices are rising… eventually the prices will get too high on the global market, there will be nothing. This applies to all product and soon you will be left with whatever it is that is available at the time.

You will not be able to buy what you want. Become the solution and work towards self sustainability by growing and raising your own food. Keep 1 year worth of food on hand at least.

It is something we have seen before, as during world crises many have sustained themselves because of gardens and chickens.

Why aren’t we being warned about this and given steps globally to prepare? It seems purposeful and to keep the public dependent… Resist planned starvation.

For the suspots (group AR3007), the telescope was a 80 mm f6 refractor with a Herschel wedge, ND 3 and 540 nm continuum filter (8 nm bandwidth). Video camera uses Sony IMX290 monochrome sensor. Telescope mount was Takahashi EM200. For the two H-alpha photographs, a 40 mm Coronado etalon was used and the Herschel wedge was replaced with a BF10 diagonal. These images are the result of processing the best frames from three 1000 frame 8-bit video sequences using Autostakkert!3 and Registax 6 software. Some further processing in Gimp.
