Hi Guys n Gals,
I�ve come seeking companionship, moral support (ummm lots of it!), knowledge & enlightenment on my quest to become self sufficient.
A total beginner (as I don�t really feel the odd herb, tomato plant or mint over the years really count), I�ve always wanted to be able to grow my own fruit n veg & have (eventually) chookies. My dad grew them when I was growing up, and I always used to help with the easier tasks and of course the harvesting ! Especially the cherries, as he used to send me up the tree to collect them.
My little merry band consists of Mr PH, Me and the three veggie loving four-footed musketeers. We now live in the home inherited from my dad, and it does have a good useable space front and back, but it�s currently very overgrown, (not to mention very shady in places in the back due to the trees close by) and will need lots of work. So to start with it�s going to have to be containers.
So, I�m putting my challenge out there � and your mission should you choose to accept it �. Is to point me in the right direction to turn a beginner into a pro .. a wilderness into the garden of Eden �. A chookie-less lover into a chookie-owning lover �. And errm � all with limited resources (just me!) and an extremely tight budget� Is this truly a Mission Impossible ?
