31/ One trick is to have funds available: either savings or free cash flow from work. ...bc when you get in slightly over your head...
32/ $500 in the bank is the difference between "garden needs water; let's buy hoses" or "garden is dying...and, yep, now it's dead. !@#$"
33/ ...or "I need a block & tackle and a set of butcher knives to process this pig" vs "OK, pig is dead...and what the hell do I do now?!"
34/ It's been hard work, to be sure. And I've had a lot of good luck. But it's worth it. 3 yrs in, and now we mention when we have a meal
35/ ...that DOESN'T have at least one component we raised. E.g. breakfast: bacon & eggs (both from here). Lunch: quiche w eggs & sausage...

36/ We ran one 4' underground water line from house to greenhouse. Cost about $4k, I think. https://twitter.com/BrowningMachine/status/849282099865694209 …

37/ Buried 4' deep means "below frost line". So we can use it all winter, if we care too. Bury it any less, and must drain before winter.
38/ Am currently investigating water line to "road pasture". Intend to put a cow and sheep there in about a month, and they'll need water.
39/ Yep. My experience: things either kinda crap out entirely...or buy you in food. https://twitter.com/BrowningMachine/status/849282574639910917 …pic.twitter.com/fU6xlQnDLq
40/ ok, gotta get back to work. ("work" ... formatting the novel for the printer)

41/ OK, I lied. I'm back. For water that doesn't have to be buried deep, this is what we'll do too. https://twitter.com/BrowningMachine/status/849284706654973952 …

42/ What you want to do (apparently) is get a subsoiler like this for your tractor http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/countyline-subsoiler …
