So, recently my wife and I laid out our 10-year plan, the end goal of which being to have bought a couple acres and have built a house and farm on it to manage a good portion of our food (and establish quality assurance).
The kicker, though, is that we will likely have had to move twice before that point (once as I enter residency and once as I finally enter the workforce). We're currently starting off with some potted garden plants and have had some limited successes (hampered largely by unexpected
pests). We've since come across
permaculture and are thinking of implementing some of those strategies for next season's crops.
What are some ways we can prepare for that ten-year goal (whether by increasing the potted crops, gaining
experience, etc) while still balancing a student loan budget (supplementing food efficiently, planning for the future, etc)?
