Oh, and what’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever tried growing or raising on your homestead?
Question: Should homesteaders grow high-maintenance crops that provide specialty or niche products (like saffron or truffles), or focus on low-maintenance crops that are easier to grow?
Btw, should homesteaders rely on natural predators to control pests, or is it acceptable to use organic pesticides when necessary?
By the way, should homesteaders focus on raising heritage breeds for preservation, or more productive modern breeds for higher yields?
Quick question: Should homesteaders avoid GMOs entirely, or can they serve a purpose in certain conditions, like drought resistance or pest control?
On another note, is hunting and foraging a necessary skill for homesteaders, or should homesteading focus more on cultivated food production?
Quick question: Should traditional crafts (e.g., woodworking, knitting, canning) be preserved and taught in schools, or are they outdated skills for the modern world?
Oh, do you believe large pet food companies promote packaged pet food to discourage people from making their own, healthier pet food?
Quick question, do you believe the rise of plant-based plastics is a genuine move toward sustainability, or just another corporate greenwashing tactic?
BTW, do you think there's a concerted effort to keep sustainable living practices out of mainstream education?
Additional thought: Do you think the promotion of convenience foods is meant to make people forget how to cook from scratch?
Wait, do you think seed catalogs promote “trendy” plants to distract from growing tried-and-true crops that are more sustainable?
