Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Birdwalk <birdwalk@frontiernet.net>]

water - we have 4800 gallons for rain water collection - just had the 
gutters put on two metal and polycarbonate roofs with over 7000 sq ft of 
surface

using 12 v pump and / or gravity to drip and microjet irrigation.  heavy 
to organic in raised bed soil (thanks to the rabbits)

adding in 33 ft about ground swimming pool for catfish and more water 
storage.  starting small aquaponics this spring with a couple 6 foot 
stock tanks.

I am wide open to further suggestions and information as we try to get 
off grid and out of the grocery store as much as possible.

we have a spot picked out in the side of a small hill to dig in a root 
cellar and I was wondering how to keep that from being to wet.....
