Too much to learn not enough time
Hi. Havent bought a farm/land yet!
Have seized control of the backyard in Sydney and experimenting growing potatoes via beds, mulch beds and other experiments. I am obsessed with sustainability and have so much to learn.
As a foundation I am studying Ag at TAFE on the side. Completely different to my full time work in tech.
Im asking lots of questions. Not aiming to make money or have lofty ambitions (yet). Goal is to evaluate the the most efficient and lowest risk methods for achieving some semblance of self sustainability. Start small. Inspired by people like Joel Salatin (Polyface farms; am reading his books)
Looking out for things to avoid (trees overhanging fencing, bad neighbours!). Farming seems to be all about risk mitigation.
Unfortunately i am more academic than practical.
Evaluating land options in the Hunter; anyone own land there?
