21/ Here's the test you can use to tell daydreaming from actual knowledge: "do they include pictures?" If the article includes artist's conception, it's just jerking off. If it contains pictures it MIGHT actually work. /exeunt

23/ oh, and for reference, my farm ("farm") is: * 0.1 acres of crops (pumpkin, corn) * 3 acres of grazing pasture ( ~10-15 sheep) * 0.05 acres greenhouse garden * 0.07 acres vineyard * 5.5 acres pasture for haying * ~50 acres unused / woodlot

24/ * 0.1 acre pig run * 0.05 acre turkey run * 0.05 acre goose run It is a LOT of work to keep up with the 0.2 acres of crops / vineyard / greenhouse... especially when feeding animals every day, splitting wood (which I buy, not fell), etc.

26/ Oh, another point: a large percent of farm hobby stuff, prepper stuff, etc. is written by people who have never done it, but recycle the articles they've read into new articles. This is how so much bad information propagates.

27/ e.g. "I've never grown Jerusalem artichokes, but DallasPrepper971 and RetiredMarineZombieHunter (who also haven't grown Jerusalem artichokes) read articles by someone else, then wrote blog posts of their own, and I've read those, SO LET ME TELL YOU HOW TO GROW ARTICHOKES!"

28/ It's like listening to 13 year olds talk about sex, or people with no fingers talk about how to do a totally radical guitar lick.

Replying to @MorlockP
Wife and I are learning to manage 10a. The more I learn, the less I see "100% self-sufficient" as a serious goal. It's more about being shock-resistant to me.
