Starting to Rely on Yourself

Gardening, and living off the land sounds rough, and rugged, huh? It can be a little uncomfortable, but the savings, and the benefits could be insurmountable. The time you put in to it could pay you back very generously. I think it's just about everybody's dream, to get out of the normal everyday living arrangements and get into a more suitable, quiet, independent form of living. I can't blame them.

There are several things to think about if you are ready, and willing to make this bold, and brave new move. Do you want to become totally sustainable? or just a little?How would you generate income? First, let's tackle the first question, do you want to become totally independent? I would think not. That's an awful big change all of a sudden. And I think it is safe to say that most people want more independence in the means of the way in which they live at the time.

Being independent of the everyday rush can be a choice to be embraced. It can give you several new opportunities. An opportunity to be apart from the rest of the crowd, and be different. A chance to stretch your wings so to speak . If you are nervous about making such a change, then just take it in small steps. For starters, think about what may the biggest thing holding you in the place in life that you're in right now. Maybe try making subtle changes right now. Take it slow, and in small steps, and be very cautious until you sort of test the waters.

Do your research. It never hurts to make sure you know all the facts before making any hasty, and very big alterations. So, do your homework. First, and most vital, eliminate debts which may be holding you back from making the move in life that you would like to meet. After tackling that issue, downsize if necessary in order to meet your goal in life. If you have an expensive automobile, maybe you could lower your spending a bit, by finding it a new owner, and purchasing something a little more affordable. It's a plus if you know how to work on your own car. It can save you hundreds if you have a older automobile. 

While you're sizing down a bit, give thought to what you might do to generate income from your future farm. Perhaps ask your boss if you can work at home. Even if it's only a little. Or start thinking about generating an income from a hobby. Find out what you may need to do to get things started. Think differently, sometimes you need a different approach to the work you'd like to do. 

Usually a person has to have a license to cook meals or most anything for people to consume and pay for, so that may be out of the question unless you have experience in seval categories of the food industry. Speaking with someone at the county should get you in the right direction on that subject.


Look at what you are willing to spend, and what are you willing to do? Are you ready to buy a place which may need a little work? Are you willing to possibly live in one, or two rooms while there's work being done on the rest? Have you set a time limit for the work to be completed (within reasonable limits)? 

If you are serious about getting out of the bustle of living in cramped quarters, and are very tired of just the same thing daily, then consider making a plan. A plan so that you will succeed, and obtain that piece of land, no matter how small with a small house that may need a little extra TLC, but it would be worth the effort. Start making your vegetable garden now, in small parts, or planters to be transferred later on in the move. This could give you the incentive to dream big, which we all need in order to achieve. There's nothing wrong with daydreaming. Sometimes it's the beginning of inspiration.

If you wish to have goats on the property, then check with whoever you need to in order to make sure that's possible, or check what requirements there are for having them on the property in that location. 

There are many ways in which to get started finding and obtaining property of your own, and being out of the everyday vicious struggle to get ahead. What's stopping you from looking into it? Looking never harmed anyone. Reading up on something never hurts. Making calls to check on something of interest never did any harm. Online searches never stopped someone from finding out some information. Calling some of the local county offices can be very helpful. They can usually tell you where to look online for any property information.

I hope this article was interesting, and I hope this gives everyone something to think about . 

Grow inside, outside, whenever you can.
Happy gardening!

When Your Plant Says: "Gimme some Elbow Room!!!"

Image
Its odd. We, as human beings never realize the things we have in common with plants. They have a love for pretty music, and cheerful tones, so do we. They adore attention, so do we at times. They like quiet conversations, us too. And they also have some physical features in common too!They have Elbows, which are important, which I'll explain how they're vital to your plant, especially if they are a Pothos, or another vining plant similar to it. Elbows(also known as joints), are like your plant's lifeline. This may be where you notice new growth. Often times it is where new branches bud from, or new leaves. Every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to check for new growth, and clear any old debris that may be slowing down new twigs, branches, or leaves . As the weather gets warmer, it's always a good idea to clear out any debris from your plants, including veggies. You feel better when you clean up, they do too . And it healthier (generally speaking), to kee

The Main Tools You Want For Gardening

     The basic tools you're going to use almost daily in your garden, are a good trowel (hand held), and a good Spade, rich potting soil, and maybe some  kind of fertilizer. This will give your plants, and flowers that added zest to feed them. Fertilizing can really give your plants a great boost, but only when done well. So please be sure to do plenty of research on the subject. There's a lot of information that can be helpful. If you  have a vegetable fetish, and would like to really pinch corners, then the next time you buy  produce of any sort, pluck the seeds out, set them on a dry paper towel, or paper plate, or most anything you feel they'll be rather safe on, and allow them to dry in the sun for a few days. When they feel as if they have dried enough to put them in the ground, you have seeds for growing.You can also do this with raw corn, cataloupes, watermelon, lemons, oranges peas, beans, and (maybe even rice), never tried it. Experiment. Try all veggies i
