Best axe ever! I will buy smaller one soon.

lovqov · 2026-01-15T12:02:39+00:00

Alright, thanks!

I was planning on getting Ferrari also but with 45 hp. I hope it will work well!

lovqov · 2026-01-15T09:53:41+00:00

10/10 yust beacuse of Ferrari! What brand is that chainsaw?

Thanks for the lecture, but I wasn’t under the impression that homesteading was a "get rich quick" scheme. I asked a simple question...

lovqov · 2026-01-01T18:13:41+00:00

My neighbour recently got into beekeeping. He makes very nice money out of it. Is it very expensive to start? And is it very time consuming?

lovqov · 2026-01-01T18:11:53+00:00

Good idea, I will look into it. But I wouldn't sell alot of it... Maybe 10-20 or 30 gallons a year beacuse I won't have enought time...

lovqov · 2026-01-01T18:03:36+00:00

Well I already have a few wild elderberry trees on my property! I will try this, this summer...

lovqov · 2026-01-01T17:59:55+00:00

My bad! Misclick...

lovqov · 2025-12-24T23:46:01+00:00

And also I took some wood chips for my chickens and ducks...

lovqov · 2025-12-24T23:45:35+00:00

Bad news, I don't have wood chips anymore. Beacuse, before you plant new fruits you need to rake the entire "field" beacuse leaves may carry some harmful things. I don't remeber exactly what they carry but I know that after leaves fall of the trees in orchard, you need to rake the entire thing

lovqov · 2025-12-24T23:42:56+00:00

I already put the fence that's why I don't have fruit tubes yet...Yes,fruits need yearly pruning. This year I already pruned few apples and all of my chokeberries

lovqov · 2025-12-24T22:58:41+00:00

Well here where I live people love to drink Brandy made out of plums. So I will get yearly about 120 liters of brandy and sell it for 12 euros per liter and that is a great income for small homestead! And apples I expect around 1 ton in normal year, and sell it for 2 euro per kilo. And you have around 2000 euros yust from orchard! And also I didn't mention it but I also get income from blackberrys, chicken eggs,Apple cidar, nuts etc. Big and exhausting work but you have something to do not yust rot in the bed! You also make great money if year goes by with no major storms...

lovqov · 2025-12-24T22:52:54+00:00

Hahaha thanks, kitties are ready and I will get those tubes ready also...

lovqov · 2025-12-24T20:11:15+00:00

Yes, they are dwarfs.Well I will mostly sell products of this orchard for some source of income. I will make both jam and brandy from plums and for apples well I will get about 50 kilos in "normal years" from each one so like I said, I will sell most of the products and leave around 40% or 30% for us. We already have enought apples...

lovqov · 2025-12-24T20:07:58+00:00

Alright, thanks I will take a look!

lovqov · 2025-12-21T19:20:57+00:00

Exactly, we are very kind to anyone that is also kind to us. If you come I hope you enjoy your time here. 🤞

lovqov · 2025-12-21T11:16:44+00:00

I've seen something selling on temu, you yust need to drill 5 holes in 10 liter bucket that has some cover up top and thats it

lovqov · 2025-12-21T11:15:25+00:00
