How Much Water Do You Really Need to Grow Fruit Trees in the Desert?

About a year ago, we had an idea… We thought, “wouldn’t it be great to fill up our whole yard with fruit trees?!” We found a local nursery with a great selection, bought a handful of trees, and got to it. There was only one problem… we seriously underestimated how much water we would need….

The Easiest Way to Get Rid of Skunks

Last year, we moved to a rural part of Arizona, and began composting our waste, like most homesteaders do.

Axe vs. Maul vs. Splitting Axe: What’s the Difference?

Last month I broke my chopping axe while splitting some wood in the yard. Instead of re-handling right away, I decided to just go ahead and buy a new splitting axe. Why? Because I don’t actually chop wood very often. You see, there aren’t many large trees where we live – let alone dead ones…
