I have spent the majority of my time from February through March in Colorado dealing with a grief stricken family while we wait for the inevitable. During this time I have spent my waking moments listening, watching and learning all things gardening and homesteading via YouTube. It was an escape from the heavy emotional roller coasters that my family are dealing with on a daily basis. I have learned there are many, many ways to homestead and garden. It seems the only thing limiting my homestead ambitions are myself and my physical limitations. During this time, my husband and I came up with plans to situate our property into a homestead that can be self sustaining and hopefully provide a living wage for us in a few years if not sooner. That’s the plan! My husband worked on the property while I was away. He cut and moved logs, and moved soil and mulch weather permitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We agreed on several factors that will make our homestead work for us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Age: We must be able to work on our homestead well into old age. That means we have to look at methods and practices outside of the traditional norms.<\/li>
  2. Sustainable: We want to have a closed loop method of giving nutrients to our plants without chemical fertilizers.<\/li>
  3. Physical limitations: This might be in the same category as “age” but it cannot be stressed enough that we both have physical limitations and anything we plan will have to be factored in. <\/li>
  4. Pacific Northwest: Any plants or veggies or plans we have will have to factor the weather of the Pacific Northwest.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Learning objectives:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
