As a genreal consensus on here I believe most of us are self sufficient or were at one time. I recently moved out and now don't have the access to the garden I helped put in for the last 23 years(yeah I was playing in the dirt as a baby) Ours is about 80x80 and we have a lot in there. Then out in the field we did 12 rows of potatoes about 75-85 yards long and 18 rows of sweet corn that are about the same length. We give or sell most of the corn and potatoes but save enough to can or freeze and last us the year. We make our our sauerkraut, apple cider, apple butter, stewed tomatoes, you name it. We can, freeze or use about 95% of what we plant trying to waste very little. What doesn't get eaten by us goes to the chickens or the compost pile. We also repair our own equipment and cut all our own firewood. I know we try to rely as little as we can on big brother for help. So what does everyone else do to try and stay as self sufficient as possible?
PS I know we don't have the self sufficient energy that some on here have but I have been trying to figure a way to get on that.
PPS sorry for the extremely long post that didn't cover a 1/4 of what we make all year.
