Self-Sufficiency Acreage Requirement?
there is someone in tasmania working along those lines as i understand
it he doesn't even have power, not sure now where i've seen his posts, but maybe you could post this question in aus.gardens, or http://www.au.gardenweb.com/forums/ozgard/. we have near 70 acres here in queensland in aus', can't live without power/phone etc.,. could grow enough veges on 2 to 5 acres need more to grow enough fruit but we love our meat so could never grow enough chooks/ducks/beef to keep the freezer full. then there are the things like sugar, salt, tea/coffee, fuel, soap etc.,. so maybe partial self sufficiency is attainable? could be a full time job just doing enough to survive. and like you say then the affects of climate/weather kick in. where starting off simply trying to supplement, so far w don't buy much in the vege line, but being in the sub-tropics can't imagine how to grow enough potatoes, sweet potatoes yes but then not every body likes them in the diet. just my thoughts keep us informed on how you as you go along. len snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://home.dnet.aunz.com/gardnlen/ |
