Urban Homestead - A New Journey

G’day everyone and welcome back.

For those of you who are new to Transformation Thursday, we go through books that look at how we can grow, improve and transform our lives.

Over the next weeks we will look at the book “The Urban Homestead” by Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen.

Many people have been spending and more time at home over the last year or so. For many this has been extremely difficult and isolating, for some it has led for a shift of focus to our homes and gardens for others it has been both.

This is definitely not something we are experts in and while most of the articles here are based on science, Transformation Thursday is more about exploring new ideas and gaining new perspectives.

Over the next weeks we will look at

• How to grow food in small urban areas,

• How to keep livestock in the city,

• How to preserve food at home, and

• How to harvest your own water and electricity.

While the book itself goes into a lot of depth, we will focus on the parts we think you can do at home in the short-term and things we have tried ourselves.

I hope you enjoy this new journey with us into Urban Homesteading.
