PeaceSign Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I love watching this couple homestead...they tell you to start thinking about food security and they give you some quick tips and easiest animals to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nstoolman1 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 All of this depends on how much property you have. The whole reason people got away from the "farm" is because people moved close to town(jobs) and super markets were born. I am all for home grown. You have to have the property or the know how to grow in a hot house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are talking about how you can get started with rabbits in your backyard cuz they are treated like pets. And where I am you can have chickens. But honestly during the actual fallout, nobody is gonna give a damn about restrictions! There will be bigger problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take any wall in your house, line it with several rows of milk jugs, allow top jugs to drip into lower ones when watered... or fill pockets of over-the-door hanging shoe bags with soil and make small drip holes to allow water to drip into lower pockets... Also, place larger planters along walls on floor to grow larger 'crops' and put a grow light on a timer. Bingo! You'd be amazed how much food one can grow that way. Be sure to use 'heirloom seeds' for better yield. E-I-E-I-O ! For our Carnivore friends, guinea pigs are small, eat waste leaves/fodder from your wall gardens and are tasty grilled on the hibachi. Rock on small space dwellers! . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
