This Thread is Awesome!!!

I wanted to share my experience. I started about 4 months ago. I live in a lower income neighborhood in Fly-0ver Country. I wanted to post because you don't need to buy 10 acres or put allot of effort into starting to be self sustainable. I have turned my small backyard into a small farm for my family.

We use a hybrid of raised beds, Kratky method hydroponics (painted Home Depot buckets) and PVC tubes. In these we are now growing our own lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, beats, beans, corn, okra, potatoes and other vegetables. I am working now on creating a small stock of fish to not only eat but to use their waste to feed the plants we are growing.

Not only is this helping our monthly grocery bills but it feels REAL GOOD sitting down to dinner knowing where the food has come from plus the feeling of pride doesn't hurt.
