the previous home owner planted mint (yes, actually and on purpose) in the front yard and my mom tried to kill it with weed killer, but it only made it grow faster. its spread to incircle the whole house. we have a plan to just up root it all but I thought that would be a lot of wasted food. however, obviously, this mint is powered by weed killer sprayed on it every day for 3 months. is it safe to eat?

Edit: Thanks for the information! Not Safe To Eat! the cardboard tip actually sounds a lot easier on me and my mom's backs too!

I have two lots available at Fruit haven Ecovillage which is dedicated to creating a sustainable community that incorporates permaculture fruit farms with plant-based living as some of its core values. One can easily grow enough food here to live off the land. It is located in Southeast Ecuador at the foothills of the Andes mountains by the Rio Zamora river on the edge of the Amazon rainforest. In Ecuador, the US Dollar is the official currency and cost of living is about 1/5 of the United States. At this location the temperature all year is between 60’F - 80’F but mostly hovers near the 70s both day and night. No heating or cooling units are needed to live here. Water comes from the mountain.

Fruit Haven 2 Lot 7: has a 2-story house on 0.84 hectares/2.07 acres. Asking price is $55,000 USD. The 1 bed/1 bath home was recently renovated to bug-proof the upstairs room, upgrade flooring, treat and varnish wood, add stairs, install gutters, add a shower, and upgrade the solar power system. It has a bed, composting toilet bathroom, and a kitchen counter with a sink. The house has solar panels, batteries, inverter and charge controller, and is wired with lights and switches. It has a gravity fed water system from the mountain stream and high speed internet capability. There is a waterfall for swimming and drinking within walking distance along with the Fruit Haven 2 community house. The property has 7 jackfruits, 1 soursop, 5 rolinias, marang, orange, mandarin, sugar cane, bananas, pineapples and more for a total of 60+ fruit trees. The house is available for rent until it sells and is currently generating rental income at $350/month.

Fruit Haven 2 Lot 10: no house, vacant land, lot size is 0.75 hectares/1.85 acres. Asking price is $15,000 USD, just lowered from $22,000. Half is secondary forest with native hardwood trees and palms. The other half is cleared with some fruit trees planted and is ideal for camping, building a home and/or planting more food. Fruits include mamey sapote, pineapples, papayas, grafted soursop, bananas, and durian. A gravity powered water system is already installed and there is a small stream with spring water on the southwest corner that flows year round which could be used to get more water. Solar power and internet could easily be installed. Soil amendments were added last year to prepare for more planting.

Please private message me with serious inquiries. I have photos, videos, and more information.

Good evening guys,

Hope this is a proper subreddit to ask these questions. I will try to be short and sweet and embellish when asked to. I have no idea what would be too much information.

So, situation. I am in possession of family land in a province of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton to be specific if that helps. It is a 100 acres, though through family, may double to 200 acres. ~15 acres tops is field. 60% is probably aged hardwood, and the rest is either mixed and softwood.

I have been renovating the old farm house that I grew up on and restoring it. In the process of renting some rooms out in the future to help out with the restoration. I have offered friends places to stay for free to help out as a way to just make work interesting (I hate working by myself, and it has helped them out with saving up and buying land in the area themselves).

My main passions are gardening, (renovations have been hogging my time and preventing me from fully focusing on this), forestry (I love the woods, but I also have a sawmill and middle of trying to make a permanent home for it), and honestly, I just love pursing any idea that is sustainable, helps others, and makes the land more productive and useful.

I have no idea if there are any Canadians or so around, but love to hear some other passionate people on these topics and see what you think could be done, what you would do etc.

Got a few rain days coming ahead so figured now be a fun time to just chat away and discuss ideas.

Thanks!

Take a moment to appreciate the bumblebee - one of the most important pollinators in our ecosystem!

They may seem clumsy as they bumble about from flower to flower, but they're actually highly skilled at their job.

Bumblebees have particular adaptations that allow them to pollinate plants more effectively than other bees, making them essential to the growth and reproduction of many of our favorite fruits and vegetables.

And don't be a baby, they are not going to sting you! At this stage they don't have much time left, so they have better things to do than chase you and sting you ;))

So, next time you see a bumblebee in your garden, take a moment to observe their busy little lives and the vital role they play in our ecosystem.

My wife and I found out today, August 8, 2023, that we will inherit an eight-plus acre property in November. The land has been in her family for 95 years and has operated as a vegetable and flower farm with a roadside stand the entire time. We’d like to continue the tradition, but we need some guidance, as we also found out that it barely breaks even.

We run the flower operation on 1/4 of an acre, while relatives grow produce on six acres. The operations are separate in terms of space and accounting, which is how we were blindsided by the lack of profits on the produce side. Our flowers are profitable.

The farm has never grown fruit, had animals, or even compost. For having only six farmable acres, the farm has been run conventionally without a thought given to long-term sustainability. For example, the soil is literally sand, tilled to the fine texture of a beach. Flowers and weeds grow well, but produce gets blossom end rot or does not reach full potential.

Additional info, features, and concerns:

• We are in Wisconsin, zone 5b
• We are both 41 and have three kids under 8
• The property is a long rectangle, 300 feet east to west, 1300 feet north to south
• Suburban-type houses are on all sides, comprising 22 adjacent neighbors
• No irrigation
• On a well, no city water or sewage
• No fences, so deer and rabbits are constant problems
• Thrips, aphids, Japanese beetles, horn worms, and cabbage moth worms are constant problems
• There’s a uninhabited single-story frame house with two beds/one bath built in 1890 that has a mold problem that can be smelled from outside
• There’s a two car garage built in the 1950s that raccoons made their home in for many years
• There’s a pole barn built in 1960s that has a dirt floor, a caved in roof, and a sliding door that won’t shut
• There are five 48-foot long hoop houses (currently used to store tools and tractors)
• 2 acres of forest
• A section of a several mile long ravine runs west to east on the back side of property through the forested area
• There’s a 1986 John Deere 900HC tractor

This seems to be golden opportunity to create a proper farmstead—as in living there, putting things right, and making money; however, we don’t have much to spend and it can’t take decades.

So, I am looking for detailed guides that specify low-cost, straightforward steps that will allow us to turn this worn-out land into something green, profitable, and beautiful. I want to get started the day we get the keys and never look back. Please, please help…and thank you!
