Heather Staas wrote:Then, when you say to support yourself financially, what does that look like for you? That's a pretty widely varying number for individual people, with tens of thousands of dollars differences! What does that need look like monthly, and how many months will you have product?

After purchase of land and seeding, and all, he found out that all the markets in two hour drive were full up. He had nowhere to sell his goods.
He did find a way to sell his goods, but I don't remember what he did.

Ryan M Miller wrote:I have a new update to my land situation. I currently have a job offer and new housing opportunity in the Cincinnati area so I plan on moving this December. The property is at least 1/2 an acre so there is a good chance I'll have a lot more land than I originally thought. I would still need grant money of some kind to get started though.
The next problem with setup though would be getting the soil ready. Based on the recommendations from YouTuber Charles Downing and David the Good, I might try the lasagna garden method. The problem with initial setup though is that as the shipment of herbicide-free straw, compost, manure, and shredded leaves grows larger; the piles become too large to just dump on the driveway.
