What mistakes have you made on your journey to self sufficiency or sustainability? I think the mistakes are as important as the successes to some degree, so that others can learn by them, so we don't repeat them.
My big one is too long of a driveway.
It was impossible to shovel due to the...
Is "goaties" a regional term?
No one around here uses it and never have. The first I've seen it is on here.
I spent an entire afternoon in the goat barn at one county fair and nearly that long at another this past year and "goaties" was not in the vocabulary of the 4-H'ers or parents.
Not the...
Zambia's native food is Millet and Sorghum which are suited to the native soil.
I only brought up population for sake of discussion from the possible viewpoint of the Zambia president.
It isn't included in the body of text that BB is required to draw from so not something he can include if...

Our snow got so deep that I couldn't XC ski the last month and half and spent time on the treadmill instead. Not as much fun. :tongue
Even when it thawed I couldn't run the trails because the snow was packed down with...
I see Hardly has mastered the fine art of smilies!
You know, Hardly, not seeing what the other is meaning is especially common in man-woman relationships.

I'm in, although I will need to see what I can offer in fall.
In addition, many of my root crops are biennials so I'll keep those in mind for 2011.
I do have loads of herbs and could let some go to seed this year like German Chamomile, Winter Savory, Lovage and Beebalm, for sure.

Those are pricey, so is there a way to make one? I am limited in my understanding of how this would work. All I could come up with is to have a bunch of light bulbs in...
The GMO presentation is certainly very positive. Who is funding the curriculum; Monsanto?
I take issue with most of the benefits list.
