Personal consumption, Do you help produce some of what you use? Options

[Denise]

We all know how much we consume daily, especially when it comes to food and power.
What I want to know is how many of us produce some of the things we consume.

We use solor panels for our power and have a garden with many edible goodies. Every bit helps!
Do you hunt or raise your own meat, have a garden or fruit trees, use solor panels or a wind turbine, etc.?
We would love to hear about it!

We have solar panels too...what a good deal! We also mine more gold than we use...does that count?

We grow peaches and tomatoes, some lettuce,etc but nowhere near as much as we use.

Fun question btw

We have our cabin in Westcliffe powered by solar only - 1KW 24V system, with a generator back-up. The 12 6V batteries last about a week w/o running the generator when we are down there full time for a couple of weeks a year.

Up here in Broomfield, we have cherries, blackberries, raspberries and hazelnuts, plus a large vegetable garden - corn is the main planting, but we also have peas, beets, carrots, squash and cucumbers going in this year, and maybe a tomato and pepper plant or two.
