My Empire of Dirt
An Experiment in Brooklyn-Style Subsistence (Backyard) Farming….

 
∞ 
Writer Manny Howard shares the ups and downs of an experiment with becoming a backyard farmer and localvore for one month. Unfortunately his family was not on-board for this venture, and it appears to have been only a temporary lifestyle change, but I still found his story to be quite an interesting read.
I actually watched the video first, before reading the entire article, so I did not realize until the end that it was temporary.
 
Warning: There are a couple of words that I would not repeat in front of my children in the written article, located HERE.

    I’m so glad my family and I are all on the same page! :) Lots of work for it to be temporary…
    Interesting, though… thanks for that!
