RE: Living in Luxury Off the Grid - For We Who Hunger for Power! (part 1)

in #offthegrid7 years ago

Thanks! We have a lot of fun with all the stuff here. My husband, Doug, likes numbers too! When Doug went to university he got a degree in Electrical Engineering so he had a lot of basic information about how electricity works so when he wants to know something about a project he is able to understand books that gave him more specific information.

We haven't tried a lot with agriculture. Neither of us knows a lot. When we first moved here there was a garden but it seems like every time we tried to plant it we would find some new wild animal that likes to eat garden plants!

Sort:  

Ohhhhhh this is a social activities you are gives food to this poor and wild animals who do not have who food them. :) (sorry i al kidding and bothering) please excuseme.
well it is nice that you and your husband have a great projects with electricity is amazing build your own electrical resources.
Well i loved the plants as you see in my posta we have a little homestead were i grew up, and for this reason i know a lot of carefully about plants año harvest, specially corn, beans, rice, a little ok orange trees, avocados, tangerines, and another kind of amazing plants pety poas, pumpkings, wild endibles plants, i love gonna to the mountaint and found endible plants, we are a foraging practice with my wife, and sometimes, i loved to traslate from mountaint endibles plants to our yard, sorry for your problem with wild animal, but what about if you catch some of this animal and eat them, could be for example some endible wild animal included, rabbit, fox, armadillos, mapaches, tacuacines, castor, i do not what kind of animal wild affects.
Well if are animals little you could uses a insecticide, for protect them you could uses chemistry or make by yourself the poison with some herbs like garlic, onions and others strong plants to let far from yours plants
Please slowly work in your gardening harvest to let you get your own amazing endible plants, because nothing is more satisfy than harvest the food
Be paciente my friend.
Best regard. @galberto

Recuerdo haber hecho algo de jardinería cuando era joven, pero mi familia hizo la jardinería en nuestro patio trasero en la ciudad. Había muchos menos animales allí. Simpatizo con los pobres animales hambrientos (¡la comida de jardín es mejor que la comida de bosque!), Pero es desalentador encontrar todas las plantas que se comen hasta el suelo tan pronto como aparecen. También tenemos animales subterráneos que comen todas las raíces. Intentamos un poco de veneno en las madrigueras que hacen, pero había demasiados y no funcionó. Lo intentaré de nuevo sin embargo. Tienes razón. ¡No hay nada mejor que una comida hecha con alimentos frescos de jardín!

Did the Spanish translation work? I'm afraid I know no Spanish. I turn on the Google translation when I come to your blog and I forget that you post in Spanish when I reply!

English:
I remember doing some gardening when I was young but my family did the gardening inour back yard in town. There were many fewer animals there. I do sympathize with the poor hungry animals (garden food is better than forest food!) but it is discouraging to find all the plants eaten down to the ground as soon as they come up. We also have underground animals that eat all the roots. We did try some poison in the burrows they make but there were just too many and it didn't work. I will try again though. You are right. There is nothing better than a meal made from garden fresh food!

The wild animals have an incredible communication system it seems that one counts the food and in seconds an entire army appears to enjoy our harvests.
Good thing that you could do it before harvest in your yard, if you please keep trying to harvest your own food, thank you for understanding me to feed the hungry poor animals of the forest, it seems that our plants are much richer than wildly grown.
I hope you have good harvest in the future, and continued share interesting information about plants here in steemit.

a big hug.
Happy week.

Happy week to you too!
We will definitely try again this spring. Steemit makes gardening sound very attractive!
