The start of my journey

I have always been 'weird' as my husband would say, I have grown my own food since I was 10 and sewn my own clothes since I was 13.

So when I said to my husband lets stop being consumers, get some chickens, grow more food and live more enviromentally friendly he just said 'Yes Dear.' Now as my post will show you, my husband will often say these words, that is why we have a Kombi waiting to be re-painted but that is a whole different story.

So now I have chickens, well there chooks. 3 to be exact, they are either called Henny Penny and little chook or roast, drumsticks and sunday lunch (Not really) depending on how many vegie patches they have gotten into and eaten on me...

This is our chicken tractor made out of an old fence and a dog kennel.

I looked at aquaponics to grow vegies, but the water needed for the system was just too much, so I am starting hydroponics instead. Yes it was another 'Yes dear' moment. It will need slightly less water and all the parts we had already.

We live in a town that has harsh level 5 water restrictions (unlike our neighbours Brisbane who are still allowed outside watering!) Rumours say if we don't recieve decent rain by Christmas, we will be in deep trouble!

These are just a few of the things, I have time to list, that we have brought into our lives which I hope will make a difference to our footprint on the earth. Stay tuned for more!
