about to buy a "farm" [View all]
actually, about to buy a vacant lot one house down from mine. i live in chicago. by city standards, i have a big lot- 35' x 175'. so, now i have 2.
we bought it out of a bankruptcy of a developer. the plan is to fill the perimeter with fruit trees, grapes, etc, and have a garden toward the center. that way if we ever have to sell the lot, it will be possible to build a house without destroying the whole permaculture.
i hope to grow food for my 7 person family, plus have plenty left for charity and for wildlife.
planning to have chickens and bees.
that is as far as the plan goes for now.
i suppose by most standards here i just have a garden, but i hope you don't mind if i hang around and ask stupid questions anyway.
i'll post a few of the questions that i have a little later.
