I live in hawaii and have been putting together a plan for my property. I want a series or network of small natural pools that filter my water..provide fish...eats misquitos...and doesnt require a liner....i want to use clay to line it...let me know your thoughts...we in a drought right now in my area 11 inches of rain last year. But water is free at the well.

The mulch has no additives....the mulch comes from the rd maintenance dept. They have to constantly cut everything back around here or the roads would be destroyed.

Dont believe everything you see on tv....question everything.

People live here in plastic shacks no power no hot water and people in hawaii are happiest in the country...we are also one of the poorest districts in the union..... the best thongs in life are free....living near a city is just going to make you a consumer.....homesteading is all about being a provider.....200 years ago people did this and had wonderful happy lives...u can too.

Check out ocean view estates hawaii....coffee is bad for you...growing veggies is your new job....who cares about gas prices...ride a bike? Do you realize how much you are limiting yourself? Wayne - if its easy....its not worth doing.

They also need cold weather housing....a dog house or barn stall....you can get creative....do some research....bunnies are easy and a great resource...goats are pretty easy also....but all animals require proper care.

If your just raising them to slaughter and not to breed then you just need a fenced area....they do need a muddy wallow to cool off in the sun and keep the flies off them....and a hose with a licker bib on it to drink from....might take some training depending where you get them. They eat a meal type feed and you can supplement with scraps. ...if you want to breed you need a stall with a special rail in it to keep momma from rolling over on piglets...a vet close by...takes more...im not an expert.

I was thinking sailcloth since i know a distributer.
