    Well you want to hear about Homesteading?
    We have been homesteading in Chile (the REAL DEEEEEP SOUTH) for the past 10 years. We bought a raw piece of land and build almost everything with our own hands. We are off grid and grow most of our own food. (Veggies, sheep, cattle, pigs. ducks, chickens, rabbits, donkeys and geese too but they are pets).
    Once a month we drive to the closest city an hour away and buy things we can not grow.
    We are happier and more free than we were before we came here and we live cheaper because we pay NO TAXES on our land and property.
    It is safer here where we are in the country side. Our neighbors are more like family and we all look out for and help each other.
    We left the crazy world of being a slave for the government and now we live life in Chile.
    We have had about 90 families visit us in the past 4 years. We have a massive group of friends who are gringos and Chileans and we get together often. On any week end it is not uncommon for there to be 20 people at our house for the whole day. Many people have stayed with us, from all over the world, in our little cabana and it has been a joy to be a host to these people who often come back.
    Well come see us. It is a little bit of a drive but it is all down hill.
    Jim in Chile.

    We have sold our farm now and retired to the beach but we grew all our own food, fruits, vegetables, chickens, geese, cows, pigs etc. We had solar power, and collected all our water from the rain into a huge cement tank. We had a bio cycle sewerage system that recycled the waste water into the paddocks. I wish you could have seen it. We now live on the coast in Queensland Australia. You should check out Australia for off grid farming. We have been doing here for years. 😊 Love seeing this oasis in Mexico.

    I used to live in the New Mexico desert. Our yard had irrigation and we grew fruit and nut trees, had beautiful green grass and a bountiful garden. If you stepped back from our house and looked both left and right it was 100% desert, tumble weeds, cactus, sand, etc. It's is a most amazing thing to see something like that.

    Beautiful find! Our little garden of Eden is not so lush as that. The piney wood of East Texas is too temperate for papaya. Ours died this winter in our sun room because of the extremes. 80 degrees F one day then frost the next morning. It’s been a crazy year already. Freeze warning tonight and most of my mature fruit trees are in full bloom. I started a fire in the old wood cook stove out in my green house/ lower patio area, to try and save my moringa tree, rice, and seed trays full of seedlings. Just climate change I guess! LoL

    10:10 Composting Toilet
    I have used a composting toilet for going on 14 years. I DO NOT separate liquids from solids. In fact, the amonium component of urine, actually "DRIVES" the composting reaction.
    I put a small kitchen trash bag inside a 5-gallon plastic bucket, snap on a tiny toilet seat and call it good.
    Pee and poop begin composting in the bag right off the bat.
    Instead of hauling poop-filled buckets and then washing and sanitizing them, I haul out 5 or 6 bags, run a razor accross their bottoms, dump them all, then cover with straw, gather the bags into one new clean bag and toss THAT BAG into the trash at the gas station in town when I buy gas from them.
    Never have / had any odors or bugs in 14 years and a year's worth of potty trips composts down to about 1 inch of soil after 2 years. I have 3 terminal composting piles or bins and rotate their useage in order.
    Easy peasy
    Edit: I don't use toilet paper. Rather, I built myself a bidet washer wand with hot and cold water.
