Self Sufficiency on Small Acreage – My Vegetable Garden Layout

Self Sufficiency on small acreage starts with a garden and its production. You can’t have a homestead without a garden. This is my vegetable garden layout and how I get the most out of it. Along with the layout of my garden there is lots of organic gardening tips to get the most out of small space, how to keep the garden production and soil health in the garden and something I do for pest control. NOTE: While this garden is where I grow the largest amount of our vegetables, I also have several other smaller raised beds scattered around the property to help supply food for self sufficiency, plus many flower bed house eggplants, peppers and greens. 🙂 Video for the near future!
