Episode 162 Cheap Homestead Stocking Options




The Self-Sufficient Gardener show

Summary: On today's show I talk about options for getting cheap animal and plant life for the homestead. Some options for cheap livestock: * Craiglist both free and paid - yes you can get defective and diseased stock if you don't know what you are doing!  Be careful and don't be afraid to walk away! * Petfinder.org often has rescued farm animals - check them in your area. * Don't be afraid to barter for them. Some options for cheap plants: * State nurseries - ignore the native plant food myth! * Air Layering, cloning, rooting from cuttings, seeds, etc. (http://theselfsufficientgardener.com/638) * Seed swapping - check out the forum board for this!
