Re: How much space do I need?

You're probably (most definitely) right, Weedo. It's learning by doing. I just need to start somewhere.

Re: How much space do I need?

I'm not sure if this helps or not ... probably not. It does help. It also made me feel slighlty discouraged for a moment :icon_smile: but at least I know now what I will have to be working towards But it's taken you a few years to get that far Odsox.

Re: How much space do I need?

Right now I feel like I need a degree in horticulture... There is so much information and so many things to consider, I don´t really know where to start.

Hello

Hi, I'm originally from Germany, but I live in the Czech Republic. Becoming self sufficient(ish ;)) has always been a dream of mine, and now it could become true. I just bought an old house with a reasonably sized garden (2000 m2) with lots of fruit and nut trees and a lot of potential. So this year...
