Check out her homegrown rainwater collection and irrigation system – watering her 60+ edible crops. Meet the bees, the chickens and the worms.

I don’t believe you people. The Department of Homeland Security (before Napalitano) advised Americans to have a minimum of 3 month food supply on hand…actually, a 3 day travel pack style and a 3 month.

I love growing stuff and keep chickens too. It is great to eat food you have cultivated yourself. My YT channel is all about it. If they make it illegal put me in prison.

If this Bill passes (it will) no one who is not a government approved, certified grower, using the technologies outlined in the bill, will not be allowed to grow produce.
All food, weather produce or animal, raised will be monitored for potential natural, and unnatural contamination.
Already all livestock must be registered and chipped with the RFID, that includes every chicken, duck and goose.
Look up on web, Amish and the RFID. They are about to loose their farms. HR875 will clinch it

Hate to be a cloud, but the day of the backyard garden is coming to an end.
The officials in South Carolina expect to pass a law against the personal garden (unless you are certified).
If caught growing a garden you will be heavily fined and the garden pulled up.
Also the Bush admin. passed a law making it a criminal offence to store more than 3 days worth of food (the anti-hording law).
They don’t want us to grow it.

Permaculture and no-till agriculture is even more rewarding as it reduces fertiliser usage and nutrient leaching (as well as less physical effort).
Hello, I’m …
o, I’m wondering if you could help plug me into some program near Seattle that will teach me more on what I need to know to develop and maintain a suburban homestead like that one? My goal is to piece together a website that demonstrates such in simple visual explanation for others to educate themselves, here is a doodle:
