    A homestead. It’s never ending and everything takes longer than expected. Today we are going to move some boulders as a foundation for shipping containers.

    Here is a photo from 2 days ago, we did the first half. But the other side will be above ground to level the container.

        We just got a 2,500 gallon tank, but it’s not connected yet, also going to collect rain water soon. Soon we will have a food garden too, but that’s one of the last things we are going to focus on. At least we started a compost pile already because I know that will take a year or two to be ready.

          If you’re going permaculture for your food, start now with some nitrogen fixers and soil conditioners.
