@chbartist, well this post was way too long for my liking but I understand what you had to say. If we want to use steem to help others then we need to have faith in the system and support it. I am not

So, I burn wood for like 8 months of the year. Suggestions for the mega ashes that I collect besides as a dust bath for my chickens? I disagree about the grease and cooked veggies. I use bokashi on all

Sometimes it is our own negativity that holds us back or causes us not to succeed. I loved this story @chbartist. Thanks so much for sharing. We need to remember to not allow others or ourselves to stop

It looks like EOS took a major hit as well. I have never seen it this low. The circle I follow with EOS usually stake it with various companies and then they can pick up "free" tokens via airgrab.

I have been too busy to be on. I have not bought any steem and was going to once I had time. There are new programs out on EOS that are both doing well and not so well. Some companies on blockchain have

I just refollowed you. Not sure why I was not showing I was following when last I looked I was. I believe in many places I have vsisited in Northwestern states there are a lot of people living like I do.

That is weird and not good to hear since edibles is the way I would want to go. Thanks for sharing @porters, it will be interesting to see what is on that papertrail my friend has.

Please be careful. A buddy of mine says he got a print out of the 98-page of regulations and it does not say what I was told. To grow even 4 plants apparently, we still need to have a license or verification

@walkerland, I want to upvote but no upvote button. Noob here. I am still learning the ins and outs of steem. I juiced the leaves and it is horrid, so, so bitter. Mixed with carrot and cucumber makes it

That is an awesome idea @rawutah, something I have been considering as well. The rootstalk is now established. One can graft to it. I do not remember the %'s but I think it is something like 50% chance

This is so awesome. Way to go Nathan and @genereos.

@bengy, love your question. We live an off-grid life and working towards being totally self-sufficient so not sure what else to tell you. Our purpose is to be prepared while living a life that does not

Holy shit @tobixen. That is a major mess. I hope the insurance company comes through for you. 5 washing machines, do you know if they all work? does the rent include water because if it does maybe they

@tobixen, Here in Canada I ahve yet to run acrossa company that would not cover the damages. Not sure what you got for isurance but I would insist they cover everything. Do not low ball unless they say

This is the best post or article I have read on this topic. I also love your poem. Thank you for sharing this @trucklife-family. <3 upvoted and resteemed with pleasure.

Well, @cryptogee you share a compelling argument about the dishwasher but I want to share why I do not like it. First, I do live off grid and one gets to see how much energy is being used. You have the

It takes time to get a following and you need that following to make money. If those that follow you votes for you eventually you can make money. The thing is it still is not that easy. There are still

@likestokes Why Peurto Rico and why such a big move from a wonderful warm state? Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the post.

Thank you for this wonderful idea on tiger nuts. I will look into this further and see if it can grow here in the north. It is so tough to find good perennials that survive our winters.
