Hope I will be able to get educated by the members on this forum. I only have everything to learn. Have recently bought (me & the bank) about 20 acres and hope to be able to build a passive solar designed home, pond and develop a garden and small pasture for some type critters. Will be old school - a hodgepodge of chickens, rabbits, pigs and any other type edible critter that can be efficiently raised for substanance. I am really worried about the future of our great country and know I am about four years behind where I should be. Hope to make up for it and be able to provide for my immediate family and extended family and friends when the flan hits the fan. My gardening skills are about 48 years past so I have a lot of ground to cover and little time. Best to all out there.
