Are You A Deep Thinker?

@MrAboo Thats really cool! I am working towards a homestead myself. I am building a small house now and will be doing a little homestead.

@MySpiritEvolves awesome! How many acres?

@MrAboo Very small, its just 1.25 acres. I am going to have ducks, bunnies, goats and fish along with a permaculture type of setup. I have gathered a lot of the plants and will start planting them once I confirm the areas the construction people wont mess up lol

Its on a lake so I will use the lake to help feed my ducks.

@MySpiritEvolves that’s really good. 1.25 acres is enough to do a lot with. You could even get sheep and emotionally graze them. A permaculture setup is my dream

@MrAboo I thought about getting sheep but I would basically be able to have up to 2 sheep, I want to breed for meat so that would leave me 1 male and 1 female. That's if I grew nothing but grazing for them. I figure with mini goats I will get the milk plus the meat and have a little herd so if one dies I have backups to repopulate the herd.

I have read that sheep milk is so much better for you though.

@MySpiritEvolves you could get two male lambs for meat. Don’t goats require brush to graze on. Joel Saladin says 5 years and the brush is cleaned out in a dense area. Meat is exactly why I want to grow my own sheep some day

@MrAboo yeah, that is a concern for me. I have neighbors with dense brush too so I figure they would probably be happy if I got that a bit cleaned out for them occasionally. I have some plants (kudzu and Mexican sunflower) that would be great for feeding goats that I plan to use to replace the brush that is there at this time. Both grow like crazy. That is one thing about Florida things do grow year-round.

@MySpiritEvolves nice, have you checked out David the Good?

@MrAboo I have! I have been watching him since 2015 or so. I have done a lot of things he advises on the property I am at, but its like .18 acres, I need more land lol

@MySpiritEvolves that’s about the same amount of time I’ve watched him. He’s my favorite YouTuber.

@MrAboo Me too! I live in FL so its so awesome to have him guiding me on my journey. You might also find eat the weeds channel interesting. I am not sure your location but he is all about wild edibles in FL but also touches on other regions they grow too. He is super knowledgeable.

@MySpiritEvolves it’d be cool to be in Florida and use the gardening methods David the good recommends. I’m on the west coast area and haven’t started looking for YouTubers in my area. I’ll check out the eat the weeds channel.
