Homesteading Through the Winter Activities to Stay Productive in Colder Months Welcome to Homesteading Through the Winter: Activities to Stay Productive in Colder Months, a D.I.Y. book that is specifically interested in keeping you busy throughout the cold winter months when everyone would rather sip on a nice cup of hot cocoa. This book is specifically to prepare you for some of the hard times ahead of you and give you a few things to do to keep you homesteading. In the first chapter, we'll talk about livestock and we'll be covering such details as: What to expect out of your food animals as you pass into the colder months What you need to look out for when the weather gets incredibly cold How to maintain the production of eggs during these months for those chicken raisers In the second chapter, we'll be going over what you can do about your garden because just because the weather is colder, and your regular crops are gone doesn't mean that you have to stop growing. This area will cover the top five commonly grown winter plants and what's needed to grow them. We will also be going over how you can construct an in-house garden so that you can continue to grow the plants you want in the conditions you don't want. The third chapter will go over how to maintain and protect your power grid if you have built one. This will include how to secure wires, cheap and effective ways of protecting wire ports, and how to efficiently judge how to compensate for the loss of power in your system along with suggestions on how to optimize your investment into a bigger grid. In the last chapter, we'll be going over HAM radios and cover such topics as: What the different licenses are and the true differences between them What you should buy for your first HAM radio Why you might want to pursue high forms of HAM radio As you can see, we cover a lot in this book to make sure you have plenty to do during those colder months.

Download or read book The Resilient Farm and Homestead written by Ben Falk and published by Chelsea Green Publishing Company. This book was released on 2013 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resilient Farm and Homestead is a manual for developing durable, beautiful, and highly functional human habitat systems fit to handle an age of rapid transition. Ben Falk is a land designer and site developer whose permaculture-research farm has drawn national attention. The site is a terraced paradise on a hillside in Vermont that would otherwise be overlooked by conventional farmers as unworthy farmland. Falk's wide array of fruit trees, rice paddies (relatively unheard of in the Northeast), ducks, nuts, and earth-inspired buildings is a hopeful image for the future of regenerative agriculture and modern homesteading. The book covers nearly every strategy Falk and his team have been testing at the Whole Systems Research Farm over the past decade, as well as experiments from other sites Falk has designed through his off-farm consulting business. The book includes detailed information on earthworks; gravity-fed water systems; species composition; the site-design process; site management; fuelwood hedge production and processing; human health and nutrient-dense production strategies; rapid topsoil formation and remineralization; agroforestry/silvopasture/grazing; ecosystem services, especially regarding flood mitigation; fertility management; human labor and social-systems aspects; tools/equipment/appropriate technology; and much more, complete with gorgeous photography and detailed design drawings. The Resilient Farm and Homestead is more than just a book of tricks and techniques for regenerative site development, but offers actual working results in living within complex farm-ecosystems based on research from the "great thinkers" in permaculture, and presents a viable home-scale model for an intentional food-producing ecosystem in cold climates, and beyond. Inspiring to would-be homesteaders everywhere, but especially for those who find themselves with "unlikely" farming land, Falk is an inspiration in what can be done by imitating natural systems, and making the most of what we have by re-imagining what's possible. A gorgeous case study for the homestead of the future.
