no need to say sorry SSD i would have thought like you once upon a time….i take it you will be composting all your animal waste…no different really, except, the animals produce more...
we have bought some composting bins…so no digging out the ground…simply open a door at the bottom, then load into wheelbarrow..then put on christmas trees…once composted down..
and being totally honest..we had no intentions of living off grid….hated the thought of not having the luxuries…until we didn't have them, then found out, how easy it was to actually live without them..or to live with a genny and other back ups that don't bring in unknown bills….ours is paid up front..so no nasty shocks
ok!!! we don't have any dependents to worry about…so this makes this route easy for us
the other thing…if we do ever gain planning for a dwelling, i wouldn't put it where the static is…after this rain, we have learnt loads more about the land,
