RE: #homesteadingchallenge Steemit HomesteadingChallenge 1
Hey @carpenterbee, just wanted to congratulate you on your article for the Homesteading Challenge. I've just gotten around to reading it, but I'm following you, and look forward to the next ones.
Your tiny property in town sounds like an amazing adventure. The sheer size limit must be a huge challenge, plus the inevitable "what do the neighbors say". Do they get any sort of benefit from it? If they do, they should not really say anything bad... Still, moving on to the 20 acres will probably feel so liberating: so much space!
Thank you very much. Not so amazing when you have a system that says it has the authority to tell you what you can do with your bought and paid for property. So many so called laws today are just more nonsense then common sense. Neighbors complain that their property values are dropping because of what i do in my own yard. I tell them "well then buy my property and I'll move" then you can do what ever you want with it. Any fresh produce that we do not can or eat our selves goes to the neighbors. We started late this year in planting our garden. I was thinking about an aqua ponics system with vertical planters for this small space. I think it would be a much better solution to the property size limitation. Anyway experimentation first figure out what works then go from there. 20 acres would be a huge improvement.
That's so sad: the same people who benefit from your food complain that it drives prices down... even though if anything, a food producing system should add value to it (and not just yours, where the food grows, but each surrounding property, since the food is likely to end up there, by mere proximity. Anyway, they might complain today, but are probably gonna miss you once you move.
Are you still thinking about the aquaponics system? Would be exciting to see you build one (and post about it of course).
Yep still thinking about the aquaponics system and of course i'll blog about it :)
