CHOOSE ONE: Further work on the mini-farm or vacation in AZ. For now, we're using the few good months of weather in MI to work at the goal of creating a100% self-sufficient, off-grid homestead.
Deer, weather along with my up and down health took their usual toll. We'll need to replace all the fruit trees we had planted two years ago in addition to the other projects. And the price of everything continues to escalate...while at the same time online sales [for everyone we know] continued to decline...some days I feel like chucking it all, buy a houseboat and do a lot of fishing.
From Home Farming Boxes to Plug-In Planters
In commercial and home applications, hydroponic gardening
has proven itself a valuable way to conserve space and water when growing
plants. This ultra efficient system is ideal for gardeners of all levels,
especially since it can be so low maintenance. Appealing to beginner green
thumbs, products like Eliooo teach you how to assemble a hydroponic system from
IKEA boxes, while NIWA comes as a pre-assembled system that connects to a
smartphone for monitoring. For personal use, the best part is that you can actually
grow plants like lettuce and tomatoes to eat at home.
Since hydroponics can be vertically arranged, this could mean that there will be a huge shift in the way traditional agriculture is approached in both small and large scale applications.

The Hyundai Kitchen Nano Lets Users Grow Their Own Organic Veggies
For those green freaks out there, the Hyundai Kitchen
Nano seems like a pretty good option to start eating local -- really
local. The kitchen garden is a device that lets users grow all their own
organic vegetables, all with the appropriate amount of light and nutrition.
The Hyundai Nano Garden uses hydroponics instead of any pesticides and fertilizers to give you the most organic, fresh food at hand. The device actually lets users know when to give water or nutrients so you can get the greenest vegetables possible.

The ‘Click & Grow Smartpots’ are optimal gifts for
environmental tech enthusiasts who lack green thumbs. Owners of the planters
merely have to fill the device with water, the subsequent fertilization, airing
and watering is then done automatically.
This electronic approach to gardening is battery-operated. The company prides itself on Click & Grow Smartpots easy-to-use functions, requiring minimal attention despite its production of plants and edibles like basil. Users will also be alerted should the batteries die with a small flashing light.
As the element of labor is altogether removed here, busy workers can take on elaborate cultivation projects without having to master the art of horticulture, a feature that will bring foliage displays to the most unlikely spots.

Sweeter Trash?
Since we recycle and compost, we don't create a lot of
kitchen trash, so we don't have to take out the trash nightly. We were having a
problem with some trash odors. I started putting a little baking soda in the
trashcan liner. It soaks up odors without adding any unwanted fragrances to my
kitchen. Plus, it's all natural!
We are the American sucker,
easily fooled and bamboozled by the political elite.
In 2014, police in the United States killed 1,100 people. During that same year, police in
Canada killed 14 people, police in China killed 12 people and police in Germany didn’t kill anyone at
all.
