Hello from Louisville!
I am a single mom, with one child still at home, in Louisville, KY. I live in a suburban area and trying to live as frugally and self-sufficiently as possible.
I have a modest house that was pretty green to begin with, compared to neighboring homes. I have been trying to raise a garden, and it is a struggle. It basically did nothing this year, and I have heard the same thing from many other people. We had sufficient rain this summer (for once), but the heat was the problem I think.
This year was my year to add 2 rain barrels (only needed one this summer) and a flock of 5 hens. I also learned some construction skills building my hen house.
I still want to work more on growing more of our food. This is the hardest thing for me right now.
I also want to work toward decreasing our dependency on Louisville Gas & Electric. I think I am in a good spot to add some solar panels & thinking about starting that project when I get my tax return.
I have looked around here a bit and it looks pretty interesting. I look forward to getting to know all of you!
