To do this even cheaper, you could skip the wood on the ends, and just cover it in plastic or use pallets that you can many times get for free. You could also forgo the metal frames, and use 1" PVC that would make it lighter and more mobile. All I have left to install is an internal heat source, which will be a wood fired rocket stove that uses 13 the amount of fuel as a typical stove. To preserve the wood I used propylene glycol ( Pink RV Antifreeze that you can drink ) In the video you can also see my worm bins & temporary chicken coop. I hope to grow majority of my own food. It is healthier and cheaper. The food will have no pesticides or preservatives; organic. I can also eat it fresh, meaning the day its picked vs weeks or months old (supermarket). Fresh food has more life energy. This is just another piece in the puzzle on the road to self sufficiency. Thanks for watching and please comment!

Loving our children also means caring about their long-term health. We need to consider their future by keeping the earth more chemical-free. Organic is still a controversial topic for many, but it seems to be getting more widely recognized and popular, which is awesome! It can only help our planet and our health to go back to how it was before pesticides and other chemicals were invented. The need for medicines and antibiotics decreases greatly as individuals, (and their animals) go back to eating healthy, whole, organic foods. So, bottom line — why eat organic?

Its a great way to capitalize on land that was otherwise not being used for anything. Its perfect for those who would like a garden or small farm , but might not have the land for it.. In some places, farmers will rent or loan portions of their farmland , so you can even raise cows and chickens, etc. These little gardens are springing up on the lands next to major highways, as well as rural and suburban areas. ~Glory2America
