Urban Farmers Small Beginnings!
Posted: Sat Jun 21, 2014 6:47 am
Hi everyone, I've been greatly inspired by some of the larger property homesteads on the forum here, and as much as I'd absolutely love to own acreage of my own one day and be totally self sufficient... But for now I'm stuck in the suburbs of the Gold Coast making do in my backyard
I've been practical about homesteading for around 2 months now, starting off with a backyard IBC Aquaponics System and expanding from there. I now have 6 Chicken, 9 Quail, and plans to build 6 IBC Wicking Beds growing Sweet Potatoes, Potatoes, Corn, Carrots, Garlic, and Pumpkins (Pumpkins grown vertically)
By spring I hope to have built an IBC RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) to replenish the Silver Perch once harvested in the AP System.
I can't use tapatalk to upload photos so I'll try on my PC later
