Got tired of the politics in another forum, figured I'd try my luck here... I recently bought a manufactured home on roughly half an acre, with 30 pine trees and some other plants on the property. Got a good deal on the home, so I'm free & clear (which is important to me), but the home still needs a little work. The yard is coming along nicely, I've already planted some fruit trees and I'm taking good care of them, same way I care for my pine trees... all my life, I've been a good steward to the land, wherever that land was at the time. I prefer organic methods, I don't like chemicals... whether those chemicals are from Monsanto or Big Pharma. What's the difference? Lol... no thanks, I'll pass. Anyway, I'll start a thread on my humble home soon enough, just wanted to register and join a group of like-minded folks who are more interested in homesteading than politics in these fraudulent times. Now that I'm getting on in years, I understand why old-timers constantly ramble about "the good old days!"
