I've found that living simply works the best for me. I don't have animals other than a dog. I keep a small garden that mostly provides my greens and fruits. I fish in the summer. My house is small and paid for. That works the best for me. I've tried animals and it didn't work out. I felt too tied down, probably because I'm single. I can pick up and go visiting friends for a week or go camping when I want. I don't prep other than having extra dry goods on hand. We're all different.

Thank you my dear Julianne for sharing this upload on your MAGNIFICENT Homestead! When you said at the beginning, "we have horses, goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens and thinking of asking if you were planning on getting pigs, and then appear the 2 piglets! So AWESOME to show us your fruit trees and telling us how they're doing as well as your raised beds and the compost heap. Also, so much good peaches and italian prunes for your family, and I was hoping you'd show us a glimpse of the crowing rooster, but no, well, maybe next time, time and work permitting. May God keep blessing ya all, greetings to Jon, your girls and you pretty buddy! :)

If your soil is hard and consists of clay, I have some suggestions 😊 find a landscaping business that cuts and trims trees. They have plenty of woodchips to get rid off, which if you ask them, might be delivered to you, FREE, in place of the city dumpster. Really great as it slowly decomposes, and greatly enriches your soil. Great mulch, and great on walking areas between garden beds. No more muddy shoes. 😎 some sand, and also saw dust from untreated wood. Mix into the dirt of your garden beds, and 😍 don't forget composting all garden waste, grass clippings, fruit and veggie peels and scraps. NEVER add bread, meat, bones, food leftovers to compost, as it will attract plenty of rodents. 🐣 eggshells, really well crushed, spread all around your plants. They contain 26 minerals, including plenty of calcium. If you do have a food processor, all dry eggshells can be placed in there, a few pulses and they are ready for the garden. I just do it by hand with my thing to make mash potatos. ☺ untreated wood ashes greatly enrich the soil with minerals, spread evenly all around. 😀🏡😍🏡😎🏡😊🏡😀🏡😄🏡😏🏡🤔🏡😁🏡☺🏡🤗🏡😋🏡😃 Happy gardening to all, everyone and everywhere.

Can't believe I haven't found you until now! Ditto to living a happier, healthier life. Don't stress about failures or the small stuff. I don't read the papers and only watch the news occasionally. If I don't know what's going on in the world, I don't stress or worry about it. Having fibromyalgia like you, being outside definitely helps but I still can't help but over do it and end up using tomorrows spoons 🙄 I also ❤️ how your girls are mucking in too. Stay safe, and as healthy as you can possibly be. Bright Blessings from the UK

Fields can be planted with clover radish oat peas etc. Hunters do it. Forage seed. Very inexpensive. Maybe try for horses. I'm trying with oil sunflower spinach swiss chard lettuce for my turkeys (and me). I guess the trick is to rotate fields before they can eat the present down beyond regrowth level in plants.

It like you have 3 hours of winter solar solace and you have to heat your home for 12 hours? So how much collector and heat capacitance would you need for that much living space? The rule of thumb is four to five times the living surface area and probably twenty times capacitance if you are using natural products?

To install them and septic (were required to have and be hooked up to) I didn’t have the money. Called counties and townships, Living Off Grid not allowed. 😢.

@@cathicarhart2759 im in the same situation. But i found a 40 acre farm i want to make into a microfarm collective. Rescue animals would be cool too. That way you have your land for horses, or have use to clear another plot by allowing them to eat land drop manure so it can be used to grow veggies next. I know what you mean. Some places require no less than 5 acres.. im in the Poconos in Pa. But the farm is not far.. from me. How much are you looking to spend for horse land? 3 acres would be doable and there is a store community building out front where items can be sold from members, teach a class, or buy items too.

Julianne, you said something that I have been saying for a few years. I keep telling women not to overdo. Maybe that would be a good Vlog for you to do sometime. You see I was a lot like you. And still am. So now I sit at 65 years old, with 4 knee surgeries and pretty bad health. Three weeks ago I found out some other fun stuff that I've got that I had no idea. I have a lot of stuff going on but here is the deal. I've got rotator cuff tears in both shoulders. I have double hernia. I have two huge kidney stones that will not pass on their own. I have three blown disc in my neck, a couple of disc in my lower back that's blown, and two in my mid-back that's blown. Women should not work as hard as men or carry and left. I've watched you for several years, and I see you as I was when I was younger. Please please please do something to get the word out there for women not to work so hard. Because by the time you get older it will all catch up to you. As far as the surgeries to fix stuff, I don't even want to think about it, and I only take pain pills when I can't stand it anymore. So here I am again sucking it up and not taking care of myself. You're such a sweetheart. Hugs to you and the family
