Fishing Pond, Solar Power, NFT Growing System and other stuff....

An update on the stock pond, garden, solar system and greenhouse where I'm being reasonably successful with growing food during the Winter.

Big thanks to SCOTT from North East Hydroponics........my memory is awful as I called him Carl or Kyle in this video...
I will do another update once I get the propagator set up and have some lettuce planted into the vertical growing systems.
By then the NFT system will have probably been harvested and have different types of plants in.
There will also be another update coming when the habitat is in place for the hens.

I'm loving learning how to grow edible plants in the Winter as that's providing food for my family as well as knowledge of what systems work best and what system needs the least energy input - electricity costs are crazy so it may be time for me to consider getting a decent size wind power generator installed to complement the solar system I already have......

The following is important for anyone seeking to be less reliant on established infrastructure and questing greater independence / better preparedness for any 'crisis' which may occur so that's what I'm working toward - if you're relying on the state for your existence they have you in their pocket.

Grow organic food all year for maximum nutrition and health
Ability to shoot, hunt, fish, trap wild game
Knowledge to locate wild food, medicinal plants and fungi
Food preservation
Creating permaculture / food forest
Generate power to supplement / supply home
Working with Nature, not against

I'm certainly not an expert in anything and there is always so much to learn - the learning is the fun part.
