Tips on self sufficiency: wanna be country bumpkin
Hi all, i hope to start the new year by moving from the big smoke to some land i have in county leitrim.. my plan is to become as near as possible to self sufficiency... im looking for tips on polytunnels & growing veg (im a complete novice to this). Also where to purchase a decent one to start off.
Im also looking for tips on keeping chickens and live stock, in particular goats and pigs, As am getting 16 chicken, 2 geese, 2 ducks and 2 cockrels from a friend... chickens and ducks are already laying
so need to educate myself fairly quickly lol... any advice welcome..
Also any ideas as to what to do with 1.5 acres of land that may help produce an income???
land is in a high area on side of a mountain and has reeds growing on it....
will also be building a wind powered generator sufficent enough to give me a suitable power supply... will post picks as soon as ...
