i had to start using a self wicking system for alot of my garden plants and its works very well, especially if you dont have a steady water supply and water conservation is important for your property

hi everyone - Im up in the 4 corners area colorado at 7300 feet and have been off grid since 2014- would love to connect, share ideas, etc. Ive had some success in growing but Im having a really hard time getting fruit trees to flourish, especially apple trees.
hope everyone is doing well

The ultimate goal is an intentional  community that is off the grid & 100% sustainable. It was raw land in 2011 when I bought it and I've been building the infrastructure ever since. We are still building out here but I do have structures to stay in ( camp trailer, rv, and bus ), all 3 being remodeled currently, with plans for 2 mini cabins starting this summer. The closest town is 11 miles away, the closest major city is Cortez at about 58 miles away. We are on Google maps and have a Facebook page: Lil Hatu Ranch. If you want seclusion it doesn't get much better than this. If you have your own living structure even better but we have options if not. We compost, haul or collect our water, grow food and medicine in our gardens, raise chickens and soon goats & sheep,  with cows  and horses on the long list. We are still in the infantile stage of this ranch with many projects to do still- finish 2 greenhouses and break ground on a shop plus the mini cabins. For the caretaker position rent will be zero and could turn into a paid position as the ranch progresses. Others can be negotiated for a next to nothing deal depending on the level of participation for each individual. I intend on being prepared for whatever comes in the unpredictable future.

Hi Samantha 👋  I think you are headed in the right direction for sure 👍  getting out of the toxic city environment is the best thing anyone can do for yourself and for your family    doing your homework and learning self sufficiency is key  - most end up in failure thats true but then again most are unprepared.  I  bought raw land in 2014, prepared as best I could pror to ( with 2 teenagers  ), closed my business, and took a giant leap of faith - best thing I ever did   . I don't know where you are located but we ( myself & partner) have a 60 acre off grid ranch in the 4 corners area of Colorado that you are more than welcome to visit, join, or come test your self sufficient skills. We teach people who are interested in homesteading, becoming self sufficient, getting off the grid out here at our ranch, as well as building a future intentional community.
Blessings to you and take care

Hi Peter    if you are interested in high plains desert living this might be a good opportunity for you. I am currently looking for a property care taker to run things when I have to go out of town ( generally once a month for 4-5 days) for work related activities.  Easy peasy actually 👌  we have 4 chickens, 5 cats and 3 dogs that need to be cared for during that time, as well as tending the gardens in the summer time, the rest of the time is yours to do what you want  will turn into a paid position as we develop the property further- this is a ground floor opportunity for the right person. Hit me back for questions and details.
Take care and good luck with your endeavors
Sincerely

Hey Ralph, I'm new here as well and I am also on the western slope of Colorado  ( 4 corners area  ) . I have 60 acres @ about 7300 ft. Am a prepper and homesteader going on 10 years now, completely off grid. We should connect if we are close enough to one another
Take care and good luck as this is rough country
