    Just learning to grow a garden is an essential skill that can be learned anywhere

    It's like your telling our story we did all these things for 2 yes before we even had our Homestead.

    This is great. Learning and doing what I could back when I was urban homesteading has proven to be extremely valuable now that we are setting up our forever homestead. Thanks for the great video this morning. ☕️

    These are all great tips and many we are doing! We live in an RV, we are buying a piece of property to build an off grid tiny house and homestead, but there are so many homesteady stuff we've learned without the homestead, like making yogurt, cheese, crochet, renting garden plots! We're homesteaders, and live in an RV!

    We started homesteading in a condo. Our garden was exclusively in containers on a south facing deck and balcony. I did that for a few years before my prayers were answered and Jesus gave us an acre on the suburban/rural fringe. This will be our first season here, and as you said there is definitely a learning curve, but it would have been much bigger if I hadn’t spent the last couple years learning what I could about gardening, preserving, etc. in our city condo. Great video! Blessings!

    • @BearBottomAcres
      @BearBottomAcres  5 лет назад

      That is such exciting news! I am so glad your prayers were answered. You must be so excited planning your garden this year now that you have all that extra space to work with. ~Heather

  • @Citystead
    @Citystead 5 лет назад

    what a great video! So many skills can be learned before people get to their homestead or just homesteading where they are is an option. I think it's great to learn smaller scale first so your not completely overwhelmed with all the skills that are needed to run a full homestead.

    • @BearBottomAcres
      @BearBottomAcres  5 лет назад

      The Citystead thank you! It is practical and also a whole lot of fun too.

    Having multiple resources is a great point. We want to have some chickens and maybe a few goats. Nice pile of egg cartons. We used to stock them up for Jessica's mom and dad when they had chickens.

    LOL. counting your eggs before they are laid?
    Collecting canning supplies: Don't forget, if you are buying bottled supplies in store, many times you can pick the brand that offers a bottle that can be used for canning.
    Books! Yeah, books! There's the internet but you need electricity for that! Books: no electricity needed!
    For learning to cook, I recommend the "Companies Coming" series cook books because it is the only set I know of that is almost entirely cooking from scratch.
    Great Video!

      I have heard that the muscoveys are more "user friendly" that they can act more like chickens, right? I just look at runner ducks and they make me smile; I would probably be happy all the time just seeing them run all over the place like cartoon animals. ~Heather
