This is the dream... Unfortunately it doesn't seem feasible to set something like this up in my SF apartment so for now it will have to wait.

This is the dream... Unfortunately it doesn't seem feasible to set something like this up in my SF apartment so for now it will have to wait.
- balabaster 11y agoI ditched an apartment in an area I couldn't do this a few months ago for that exact reason - we weren't even allowed to grow plants on our balcony for God's sake - because the nitrogen in the fertilizer is a fire hazard. I was done with all the crap that comes with city living. The kids spend their entire time on a tight reign, they can't just run around and be kids without a constant fear of the neighbours complaining/judging about their noise/behaviour. You have to follow a metric ton of rules that come with living in close proximity to a million other people that nobody who lives in the country cares about. Most of all, the tranquility of effectively having a campsite literally in your back yard is amazing... and you can see the stars. My commute to my real job is now an hour and a half instead of just 30 minutes, but I wouldn't trade it to come back to the city. We've been blogging about our transition at http://ourcrazyhomestead.life/ http://ourcrazyhomestead.life/ As they say, sometimes you have to follow the dream and make everything else unfold the way it needs to in order for that dream to transpire.
- balabaster 11y agoThe problem isn't that it's not feasible. The problem is your SF apartment. If it's really the dream, reprioritize, find a property that does allow it, ditch the apartment and never look back ;)
