I love my life here on the homestead, but unfortunately, at this point, it doesn't provide an income to support us. The plan is for it to do that, in the next year or two, but until then, I have to work part time at an outside job. It's a tough choice that many homesteader's, farmers, and others have to make. I recently went to NH for a two week trip, to visit family. Just before I left we got an inch of sleet with some freezing rain, and it collapsed my greenhouse that I worked so hard to winterize. While on vacation in the snowy tundra, I needed to devise a solution to seed starting, without them being in my house taking up space. This is what we came up with. You love to garden, but have problems with holding traditional tools or you cannot get down low to work in the soil (or get back up). Many people who love to homestead are doing so with some sort of disability. For me, I have CRPS in my right shoulder and arm. It is a nerve disorder that is slowly disintegrating my use of my arm. This means I cannot lift much with that arm/hand, and some days I cannot hold tools for long. So I modify. |
