Our family recently started a blog about simplifying, conserving, and the like. We're just getting started, but seeing what your family is up to is such an encouragement!

I think we are approaching it from a way that minimizes our efforts. the permaculture methodology may take a bit to set up .... but once it's going it takes care of itself for the most part. hey ... it works for us! as long as we are doing our part for stewardship of the environment and reusing,reducing and recycling when we can then it's great! reducing our carbon footprint ... believe it or not ... it's a God honouring thing!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17695372756217831587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467992732308108955.post-9857082525397334672011-05-06T04:35:30.102+10:002011-05-06T04:35:30.102+10:00wow, you guys are putting a lot of thought into th...wow, you guys are putting a lot of thought into this. It's been interesting to read about your journey. <br /><br />Keith and I went through a phase 17 years ago when we lived in a small 2 bedroom basement in Colorado. Reading a book called "Five Acres and Independence" inspired us to work at becoming self-sufficient. We bought an 8 acre acreage in Northwest Iowa, and did the whole garden, fruit trees, canning, and chicken thing. We loved having chickens - lots of fun memories there, but ran out of steam after 5 years of gardening. Now we live on a postage stamp lot in Northern Wisconsin, grow peppers in pots on the front porch and enjoy the veggies our garden growing friends send our way. I miss fresh garden veggies but we don't have the space or time to devote to it. All that to say, I appreciate and applaud your efforts and hope that you achieve your desired outcome.Angie Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392363949019834052noreply@blogger.com
