[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 4564546, member: 5764"] American's are paranoid the world will end and they're big on prepping. That's why a lot of them are turning towards homesteading. For good or bad. But for good, it's allowing a lot of actually good homesteaders to get their ideas out there. This summer I did the garbage can chicken feeder and I'm quite happy with it! Facebook is full of homesteading types of groups and some I find very interesting. I think just the way I was raised a lot of what I do would fall under homesteading. Gardening, meat and layer chickens, pigs. As an adult I'm focusing on a house cow and learning more dairy aspects as I'm a beef girl. I'm learning more about soil and grass farming as well. One thing I absolutely have listed to learn is foraging. I'd love to be able to go pasture walking and river hiking seasonally and come home with all sorts of goodies. But it can be hard to get your head around "well what if I get sick". There's so much around us that, for some reason, we just don't eat. Like alfalfa, I really enjoy adding it to salads. The blooms give it some pop in the aesthetics department and are sweet! Same with dandelions, so many uses but we just spray them instead... [/QUOTE]
