After reading the thread on 'what your place is like,' I got wondering. Is anyone else doing the 'urban' homesteading thing? Not just planning but actually doing? I am afraid that is as good as it is going to get for me (married a wonderful man who loves the city).
We are planning on moving to a smaller city/town to reduce mortgage payments and to have a house paid off in the next 10-15 years. I told him I didn't care what the house was like as long as it has a BIG backyard as I want to try and start growing much of our own food. He has slowly warmed to that idea. If all goes well I would like to think about having a couple chickens or 2 small goats. And I would like to seriously reduce our utility consumption. My husband is into saving water in rain barrels, we have done that for quite a while to water the garden.
So at very best my place will probably be two city lots. But I want to give it a shot. Hopefully the neighbors wont turn me in~!
