If you could observe something,

Since I have never lived on a working homestead, I would just like to follow someone around for a day to see the time management. It just seems like there is so much to do. I have a garden, timber and yard to keep track of but I'd like to see it all--chickens, goats, BIG garden, preserving the harvest, fencing, you name it, I'd watch it.

I'm very interested in fur trapping and would love to get some hands-on education in making various traps that use natural (non-metal) components.

Same here, especially in my climate. IMO, it's simply too dang hot for anything to survive in a greenhouse down here. I KNOW there are folks who use greenhouses year-round in this climate, but I haven't been able to find much info online about it...hardly any.

I'd also like to CLOSELY observe some different gardening techniques like no-till and using cover crops/green manures. I know there is all KINDS of info all over the internet about this stuff, but I want to be able to see it not only when the crop is at it "prettiest", but also when it's not, KWIM?

Bees as well...from putting together/building the hive to harvesting the honey.

And mushrooms (growing on logs, not sawdust)...

And composting on a larger scale than I do now (via wheelbarrow, not a front end loader )...

Also someone that can show me how to use newspaper and straw for a weed barrier. Oh sure it sounds simple enough. We did it and now have a bigger problem than when we started.

I like hay a LOT better than straw.
I buy hay bales by the dozen and let them set on the ground several years.
Put them where you want to go next.
As they break down they really feed the area below them.
Nice place to plant next and what is left of those bales of hay makes a wonderful mulch around the plants.

Using newspaper you must first dig out aggressive weeds.

I grew up growing most of what we ate and growing corn to feed to pigs. We butchered our own hogs and then traded the pork pound for pound with a farming friend for his beef. One year they told us they wouldn't be butchering the next year because they got a nice heifer they were going to keep as another milker. So my ornery step-father brought home a year old steer that I cared for by providing fresh water twice a day and moving his stake in the hay field as needed. We named him Spot. Come fall we butchered Spot too.
I know all about growing feed and food. All by hand after the use of a small tractor to prepare the soil like the one below.
My property is CRAP.

I like watching the bbc shows about living/farming in past eras. we do geneology as a family hobby. have a lot of farmer ancestors. wish I could go visit their homes/farms.

I don't want to live without every modern convenience. but, sometimes I can't stand how much they cost compared to how inefficiently they seems to do what I need or want done. and how fast stuff wears out and frequently is as expensive to repair as to just replace.

with all the information sharing that the internet allows for those of us living now, I feel the void of the absence of all the wisdom and know-how of those from the past.
