Wonder if he lives in a bad neighborhood?

Kinda surprised his wife isn't white as its hard to believe a black woman would be ok with that.

Wonder when he'll get robbed of his crops tbh.

We've been growing our garden over the last couple years, it's amazing all our vegetables taste 10x better than even the organic stuff at the stores. Zucchini, potatoes, yams, tomatoes, etc, are all huge and super juicy. We even trade with a local farm for fresh eggs and raw milk

Love this so much. When I had 3 about 3' x 2'x hydroponic pods going it produced so much spinach, basil, lettuce and arugula I really couldn't keep up eating it all. Thank goodness I have rabbits to help. Maintenance was fairly low on them too.

It's now sitting in my garage. Def have to get back into it.

You know, it's a very good feeling when you grow something in your garden. It's a great hobby and very relaxing.

I've generally done a mix of traditional and square foot gardening. A neighbor where I used to live had a sweet hydroponics setup. He grew a ton of peppers and tomatoes. He had a controller that automated pumping the nutrient solution to the plants at regular intervals. The whole thing was mounted on casters so he could start the plants early and put them in his garage overnight and roll them out for sun during the day. He was always into tomatoes at least a month before me.

Its not that difficult to learn as you go. Its just a lot of work and you have to be consistent, checking/maintaining everything daily or damn near daily.


I've been keeping my eyes open for a few acres of rural not too far from where I live. I'd like to plant a few different type of fruit tree's along the front of the property & raise a few sheep and butcher the lamb for my own consumption + maybe I'll sell some of the meat. And maybe buy a calf or two and when they get big enough slaughter/sell the beef/fill by freezer.


For me the ROI on my money and time would be a lot higher. I'm not a big veggie eater so the idea of spending all that time growing a garden isn't as appealing.

Livestock are not complicated, but I would say they require another level of commitment above what is needed for a garden. Just my opinion. Chickens are probably the easiest farm animal. Generally, I would say the bigger the animal the more work, but also the more food you get. Again not hard, especially if you can incorporate it into your lifestyle. It just requires a commitment (as you've said). I do think animals are more work than plants, though.

Mirin tbh.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

My father has always done both (small scale) and I've always preferred dealing with livestock. I feel like its rewarding and if you are set up right and overall the 'work' is more enjoyable.

Obviously harvesting/butchering animals is a lot more work then plants or fruit but its the type deal you knock out on a weekend with a couple of bro's or family members.

We are set up for hunting white-tail deer so butchering an animal and then vacuum sealing cuts of meats, grinding meat up, making sausage, etc. while playing some music and hanging out really doesn't feel like 'work'. I'm fortunate to have friends/family into that sort of thing so if I want to take a trip for a week or two I won't have any issues with someone tending my stock.

Yea I have little garden myself. Will have a huge one when I buy a place.

Goal when I have a family is to have my own homestead with a garden and greenhouse, nigerian dwarf goats for milk, maybe alpacas for wool and their poop for fertilizer, and then chickens for eggs.

I already have connections with locals right now for vegetables, eggs, and honey so that will hold me over until I get my own spot. The main goal is just more and more independence from the "systems."

Nice! I just wanted to make sure you (or someone else reading these posts) knew what they were getting into. I grew up raising animals, but as an adult have stuck with plants due to the lesser commitment requirement. I still consider getting a cow or goats from time to time, but then I think about having to feed them and break ice for water in the middle of winter and get over it.

Land I'll give you thar but water can be free. Just dig a well (obviously depends on your ecosystem) I have a well and a solar pump for example. It's a bit mineral heavy over here but nothing that a standard water softener can't fix.
You can also recycle your waste water for watering your plants
