Homesteading Tips!
Homesteading tips!
Homesteading is rough and a lot of labour, but there is a lot of rewards that come from it, so here are some tips that can help you start and make it through.
Be realistic. Adapt to your place rather than adapt it to you. Start small and learn what best grows where you are.
Use what you have. Be resourceful. You don’t have to spend thousands or put yourself in debt in order to start. Selling some of what you get - eggs, for example, can help make your home life more sustainable. With that said, it can help to lower initial expense until you start generating a more disposable income - I recommend attempting to save by utilizing cold water rather than hot, taking advantage of solar energy and cutting down on non-necessities such as TV or AC. Look into using a clothesline to save energy and money and you can even make your own soap!
Be patient. When you first start out, it’s not going to look the same it does in your head, and that’s ok! Your hard work will pay off in time. It’s a slow process that requires patience, and this lifestyle is often unpredictable!
START A COMPOST ASAP! You can even begin a compost in an apartment building in your kitchen. Coffee grounds go great in them as well! Familiarize yourself with what can and cannot be composted before starting.
Freeze your eggs and build your own nesting boxes and brooding boxes if you have chickens. A great way to build nesting boxes is cutting up old buckets and filling them! Make sure to predator-proof always.
Speaking of animals, if you plan on keeping goats I recommend an electric fence if you can manage it. Goats need strong fences.
Begin making the most of weeds! You can use nettle to feed animals (and people) and dandelion has many uses as well.
Keep yourself prepared for emergencies like power outages!
Consider making your own drip irrigation system.
Educate yourself on the plants you are keeping and how to look out for plant disease.
Learn how to create and sharpen your own tools!
Learning how to dehydrate food and plants is important for preservation.
Prepare for winter ahead of time!

Amazing, helps to reduce the energy problem.

The German Finance Minister referred to renewable electricity sources as “the energy of freedom.” Better later than never when it comes to reducing dependence on Russian fossil fuels. Germany 🇩🇪 aims to get 100% of energy from renewable sources by 2035:

Voting is just about as useful as using a backscratcher on your stomach.
The war effects groceries. A large portion of the world’s wheat and corn is being held up in Ukraine and Russia because of the war and therefore food prices are rising… eventually the prices will get too high on the global market, there will be nothing. This applies to all product and soon you will be left with whatever it is that is available at the time.
You will not be able to buy what you want. Become the solution and work towards self sustainability by growing and raising your own food. Keep 1 year worth of food on hand at least.
It is something we have seen before, as during world crises many have sustained themselves because of gardens and chickens.
Why aren’t we being warned about this and given steps globally to prepare? It seems purposeful and to keep the public dependent… Resist planned starvation.
Curious how this will play out..
If a solar storm strong enough hits our atmosphere, there's a chance it could cause an electromagnetic wave that'd destroy most of the world's electricity.
Stay safe and prepared everyone.
Sun erupts with multiple flares from single sunspot
Sun erupts with multiple flares from single sunspot
Multiple solar eruptions all from a single sunspot have blasted into space recently, according to Space.com According to the site, the sun eruptions originated from an overactive sunspot called AR2975, which apparently has been firing off flares since March 28. This stellar event could potentially cause auroras in the sky over North America and Europe. “Strong G3-class geomagnetic storms are…

Quick reminder that American * need to shut the fuck up.
Lord stop making every conflict about you
Y’all are so divorced from reality you act as if every single thing affect y’all first
Ukrainiens are dying and all you can do is wonder about your ass.
I’m just …. Tired of American always being in the narrative. Hearing them talk you’d think that they stopped WWII by them self. Dude, the resistance wouldn’t have stopped if y’all had failed. You wouldn’t have been able to step foot on France if not for the French resistance helping you. And you didn’t even enter the conflict till it cause you trouble.
The soldiers from the colonies where fucking braver than any of you, cause they where fighting for a country that fuck them over.
Just stop
It’s not about you
It’s about them
It’s not even about us European. ( I’m talking about the coalition things plus England there)
It’s about Ukraine and it’s innocent, terrified people.
It’s about the innocent Russian civilians protesting against their corrupt government
Both of them are braver than any US marine.
It’s not about you
So shut the fuck up.
* I’m talking about the American without any tie to ukraine
Holding hands with the Moon
I once held hands with the Moon. In the dark of the star riddled sky. His touch smooth and cooling, His skin pale as pearl.
I once held hand with the Moon. Resting upon His crescent, hovering above the sea. His eyes clear as the ocean and as beautiful as the brightest sapphire.
I once held hands with the Moon. Cradled in the softness of His glow. His light kinder than the Sun’s. He knows all my secrets and loves me still.
I once held hands with the Moon. I have fallen in love with Him. Each night His smile graces the skies. And my heart sings at His presence.
I once held hands with the Moon. His gentle caress lulls me to sleep. I mourn when His sister rises. As I miss my celestial prince.
I once held hands with the Moon. I have given my heart away to Him. And every night I await His return, To see my shining prince hanging in the sky once more.
Sun spots in “white” light and prominences and “surface” in red H-alpha wavelength light.
For the suspots (group AR3007), the telescope was a 80 mm f6 refractor with a Herschel wedge, ND 3 and 540 nm continuum filter (8 nm bandwidth). Video camera uses Sony IMX290 monochrome sensor. Telescope mount was Takahashi EM200. For the two H-alpha photographs, a 40 mm Coronado etalon was used and the Herschel wedge was replaced with a BF10 diagonal. These images are the result of processing the best frames from three 1000 frame 8-bit video sequences using Autostakkert!3 and Registax 6 software. Some further processing in Gimp.
It is baffling to me that abortion, a practice that has been around since ancient times, is today still being argued.
Not everybody is fit to raise or even carry a child. Abortion is a right.
