Share goals, tips and resources. Not everyone can have their own land, but incorporating some homesteading ways saves $ and increases independence. Please no just recommending products, the more diy the better. For example, using Soapwort to make your own liquid soap. It's easily passed over as a weed and can be stealthily sown along public trails and fields.

Foraging for ingredients is fun and feels so rewarding when you incorporate even one ingredient into your food. Picrel, chickweed is a common plant that you can use for pesto, hummus, even just salads, and you can combine it with other wild greens or ingredients of course. Dandelions in particular have a huge range of uses and are just a common weed, so finding some is pretty easy and you can use it for all kinds of things.

I wonder how foraging and other homestead activities will hold up as climate change continues, though, and what other precautions people are taking? I know many people just take extra storage like hay for animals, since grass is more sensitive to extreme weather, and invest in things that you can make in advance by preserving or fermenting, but it's daunting.

Yes this summer has been brutal, and the last few summers too but it's got way worse this year. Everything is taking forever to grow in my garden and my zuchinni plants shat out 2 zuchinnis before dying. I've been thinking for next year just growing root veg and only very easy plants like green beans, and sowing some edible weeds in the forest nearby. There's always hardier vegetables available that you can grow anywhere, the question is whether you're actually going to want to eat them. I think ppl are going to have to get creative to deal with the extreme heat and cold. Like this kind of AC https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2017/09/terra-cotta-air-conditioner/ and use cold resistant seeds.

They mean packets of hot sauce and/or other condiments.

>taco bell sauce packets have flavor
sir, ive tasted rhem, they are literally just franks red hot type sauce plus sugar, red pepper flakes and thickener. To make something yourself, mix franks red hot with a little honey, sugar, bbq sauce or ketchup (or anything sweet, try apricot or pear puree to be special, thats the secret ingredient in mcdonalds sweet & sour sauce. but almost anything sweet will do, grape jelly works fine, even hershey syrup will make an ok if sweet mole).

Mince a couple cloves or more garlic if you like, sautee in a pan with 1 tbsp olive oil, until garlic turns golden brown. If you cant get fresh garlic, use garlic powder, add it to hot cooking-temp oil in a pan and proceed to next step immediately as the powder will brown very fast. Then add red pepper flakes, stir, let cook in the oil 30 sec. Be cautious frying dry seasonings as they burn quickly if not watched. To the pil, carefully add your franks red hot type basic hot sauce (they sell it in big jugs at walmart whoch pour easy vs normal hot sauce bottles as pictured above which you will have to get the dripper off of to pour). You're adding watery liquid to hot oil so you have to pour it in fast with confidence or take the pan off the burner and let cool a little if you dont want to risk getting spattered with hot spicy oils (valid concern). Then add your sweetener, stir it in, and let the sauce simmer until it thickens a bit and gets tasty. You can add a tbsp of potato/corn starch to thicken it to a fast-food-sauce-like consistency (dissolve the starch first in a couple tbsp of water in a separate bowl, then add to the sauce). Salt to taste. Ta-da, you've made a tasty delicipus sauce. And this is sticking to ingredients you can get at a gas station with the exception of garlic, but garlic powder will do fine. And if you do have any fresh ingrediwnts you can add them, minced herbs, pureed peppers or pepper paste, etc. to make your own special secret tasty sauce.

The consistency/viscosity of fast food sauces is the most unique thing abput them; it's very highly engineered. At mcdonalds, take a nugget, dip it in sweet & sour sauce and hold it upright. The sauce will always run in droplets down the nugget, to about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way down the nugget, bit it will almost never drip off the nugget. Taco bell hot sauce is like this as well, its much thicker than normal hot sauce. Franks red hot has basically the viscosity 9f water, while taco bell sauce is almost like pepper jam really. Viscosity affects flavor a lot, and also contributes to the look of the sauce, which is why fastfood sauces and eg general tsos chicken have such a glossy luster. so be sure to simmer ypur sauce down for a while. It will also thicken more as it cools.

Excuse me? You think taco bell hot sauce is some kond of godly inimitable substance and I'm the one who can't taste? Yeah all of the variations in making your own sauce that i described will turn out tasting pretty different from each other. They will all be hot sauce, and they will all be different from each other, and they will all be tastier than taco bell hot sauce. Yeah you can get it for "free", for the low low price of having to go to taco bell every time you want hot sauce? Wtf? I was explaining how to make ypur own tasty hot sauce at home for very cheap and how to imitate taco bell hot sauce if you should so desire. Are ypu saying you couldnt make a hot sauce from scratch thats way tastier than taco bell packets? I can, so if you cant cook or you're scared of cooking, that one's on you. Are you really arguing with me that you cant make a better hot sauce than taco bell? Thats so deep in peopleofwalmart brain rot i cant even fathom. Or ur just british and your taste cant be helped. This is probably why they started selling bottled taco bell sauce at walmart, so people like ypu would stop stealing it from the restaurants. But evidently it hasnt worked. I suspect tbh that you just like doing it because you like the little bit of shoplifters thrill, but because thats very sad, you justify it by saying its the best sauce. It aint.

The point pf this thread is self sufficiency and making ypur own things, not literal hobo tactics like stealing sauce packets. My greatgrandfather stole sauce packets because he grew up in the depression and was compelled to hoard stuff like that due to trauma.

What's the temperature like where you live? In a lot of flats the air is more dry because of heating systems so it's not the correct humidity for such plants. You can use a humidifier or keep them on top of a tray with gravel and some water so that when it evaporates it'll balance out the humidity levels. Experiment with where they are in terms of sunlight, soil, and what kinds of pots you use since it can affect drainage. It can be a learning curve but once you figure it out it's great to be able to use your own herbs, plus they look nice around your living area.

My mom brought home a mint plant that she got from a friend. I opted to take it out of its nursery pot and put it into a self watering pot (I got mine from Target). The nursery pot we had didn't have drainage holes and it made me worry about potential rotting since mint likes to be kept damp. I just refill its little water reservoir from the bottom every morning (it's a thirsty bitch) and it's been doing okay since being transplanted into a new pot a few weeks ago! I'm also a novice planter so I'm sort of winging it and I'll take it not dying as a good sign.

Also, I'm propagating sweet basil cuttings that I got from my friend's mom and saw that some of them are sprouting roots today! I'm so excited to plant them! I love sweet basil but the markets around me only sell thai basil. I can't wait to make lots of pesto and eat basil with cheese and pasta…!!

Mint is really easy to grow. The thing I would recommend doing is putting it in a bigger pot as it grows and spreads out quickly. If you have success growing mint then there are lots of herbs that are all from the same plant family. If you have cats, catnip is just a different type of mint.

Mint is an easy and hardy plant, you won't easily kill it even if you don't take optimal care of it. Just make sure that the pot you out it in or is in has drainage holes. Allow it to adjust to it's new surroundings for a day or so before repotting it, you can do that if you want and you should probably repot it into a bigger pot as it grows. If you want to put it into a decorative pot without drainage holes, you can put the pot with drainage holes into the decorative pot. You can water it by putting the pot in a bowl or tray with water so it'll soak up the water from below. Although you won't kill mint by dumping in water from above, watering from below is technically best. You don't have to mist mint afaik. It's also easy to propogate, so if you want you can take some cuttings, put it in water and grew some new plants you can share with friends or family.

Coincidentally, I am growing both of these this year. They have not done spectacularly. I got 2 spearmint plants out of all the seeds I planted, and have them in 2" well drained containers. They sit on a northfacing porch. The lemon balm did better, also in 2" pots, but all of the plants are still very small.

However, I overplanted a bunch of lemongrass in a shallow deck box in the same place and it is thriving.

So my advice is: this shit is hard sometimes plants just don't give a fuck, move shit around, don't water until the top of the soil is dry then water til it drains out the bottom, and use good soil amen.

No. 889115>>889216

Peppermint and lemonbalm (not lemongrass) were among the first things I ever sowed years ago. Literally all I did was chuck the seeds in some universal pottingsoil and planted them in the garden after they sprouted. It still comes back every year (they're winterhardy in my climate) and I quite literally don't do anything for it. It's amazing. Probably among the most foolproof herbs you can try if you're a beginner. Be careful if you put them in the garden though, they can both overtake easily.

I'm currently growing a fuckton of ayurvedic/holistic herbs in my backyard in old plastic containers. I started growing fresh herbs in the beginning to flavor some homemade kombucha. Making tinctures or balms is something I think every cottagecore nonnie should do. There's something satisfying to the soul about having jars filled with herbs infusing slowly over time.

The first plants I grew from seed were Ashwagandha, fenugreek, a curry tree, and ginger. They are all pretty potent and were fairly easy to grow from seeds. I have all of the common herbs like mint, basil, thyme, etc. I am growing a lot of flowers that have health benefits like coneflowers, zinnias, chamomile, and dandelions. I recently planted some Bergamot, St. Johns Wort, and Calendulas. There are so many plants to explore and many are very easy to grow at home in small pots!

No. 891642>>891932

>>891614
Not necessarily, they're optimised for profit first and everything else later. So you might get a bigger size vegetable that tastes like cardboard and is much lower in nutrients + the seeds might be coated with certain chemicals harmful for your health depending on how and where they were harvested. You could also get organic seeds (I live in the EU where that label is not just marketing fluff) from the same variety, so it's not really a guarantee of anything. Some varieties of a vegetable thrive in colder climates, some in warmer. Some are more disease-resistant, some less etc. The flavour, appearance and size will also be different.
Heirlooms are basically rare varieties not profitable enough for mass production for one reason or another (flavour, size, hardiness, suitability to climate in one country vs another, difficulty of procuring the seeds etc).

Another urban homesteading tip, save and plant everything, like for example I got a good deal on a living lettuce bundle and planted it a couple months ago and it gave me tons of lettuce over and over. I have a large pot-garden and I rotate things seasonally, it's funny how I still have stuff out there despite that it already snowed, I have some stuff covered. I also do carrots, potatoes, and radishes, and onions. Onions are great because you can use the tops too
>>997681
I agree I just buy onion starts and they grow much better. I just started germinating my own plants instead of buying starts within the last couple years and that's one better to buy. I gotta say those seed greenhouse trays are such a scam, they just molded my seedlings, paper towel germinating then transferring into tiny pots is king

All my money went into the house and it still needs more and more repairs every week something new breaks. It's sad that 10 years ago everything was half the price so i would have everything ready already only if i was born earlier.
Anyway i'm planning to grow some type of asian rose that has big fruits as fencing, since it's thorny animals won't go through hopefully (+ wire fencing around important plants). Then bamboo as a little forest for fun and sprouts for food, chickens, some fruit trees and bushes, beans and one day when i'll have a cellar, because this bloody house is the only one that doesn't have it, i'll grow potatoes and store them there.

It says every part of the plant is toxic. When you go to the source for this, http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=250090370
it says it was used for wound healing and to provoke coughing. But doesn't specify which part.

Share the same attributes, in Russia the rhizome was used to provoke puking.

They belong to the Asparagaceae (family level).

You also should know, depending on where the plant is distributed it may be more or less toxic, for example a fern (I think it was Wurmfarn or Adlerfarn) that is distributed Northern hemispheric, is edible in Japan but toxic in Germany. Local varieties can always differ in certain aspects.

From a homesteading perspective, what's the benefit of making your own soap from lye? I read about it on some homesteading blog but I don't see the point, you'd still be purchasing tools and raw ingredients so you're still dependent on a outside supplier. Store bought soap is cheap. Is the difference in money big enough to make the time investment worthwhile or is there something else I'm not seeing?

If you're purchasing all the ingredients it only makes sense as a fun hobby (i mean, if you find it fun). If you can get some of the ingredients for free, it's ofc a different game.

I keep chickens, bantams, ducks, turkeys and geese. I started out with a few chickens and a basic coop that I bought from a farm supplier. I still use the original coop for the bantams and the other poultry now have coops that I've designed and were then made by my husband. He's an engineer so if provide him with a schematic diagram of what I want, he buys the materials and puts it together. When I need to keep the poultry under cover I move their coops into the barn and make sure that they have enough enrichment in their environment to keep them happy.

If you're starting out, have limited space and aren't sure about what you want, I'd recommend getting a few bantams before moving on to bigger poultry.

yes it the root is "edible" but it doesn't provide much value as food and isnt eaten very frequently anywhere. The root will not poison you, it is non-toxic. The berries are the part to avoid. The young furled shoots are also edible, once they mature they become unpleasant in a way that would make you not want to eat them, indicating their newly developed toxicity to even the least-confident beginner.
Both root and shoot are consumed in my country on occasion. I wouldnt suggest eating it, but you wouldnt need to be worried if you are experienced. There does not appear to be much difference in location-based toxicity either, but other anon was right to suggest this just in case.

late reply but what preservation methods are available to you? Everything will "freeze" or nearly freeze, if it has some water content. FREEZE EVERYTHING ANON

I have made home-made freezers of all kinds, but you just can't beat a good old industrially-made fridgefreezer.

Things to freeze: highly perishable foods, such as "pheasant berries" or other very soft fruits. Herbs, spices, like pepper seeds for "wild spices", prepare whole meals of wild greens and freeze them, meats, nuts and fats, you can stick most anything in a freezer. Some thing might not work for you but you'll find over time waht does or doesnt.

Alternative method that I use a lot: dig a deep hole, insert well-wrapped food (i put it in a wooden box so that foxes and rabbits wont borrow into it for tasty treats) - you can add ice or snow to this and it will stay frozen into the next season if deep/cold enough

I know the chance is slim but has anyone succesfully made fermented blackberry leaf tea? From what I understand from reading a bunch of tutorials you pick young blackberry leaves, wash them, bruise them, pack them in a jar and let them sit for 2+ weeks to ferment, dry them out and that's your tea. But I've tried two times now and the contents went bad, it smelled bad and a weird yellow/blackish substance gathered at the bottom of the jar. Any ideas what I could've done wrong?

maybe one of the upside-down strawberry planters that you can hang would work out well? do you have a small balcony?

Soery for even replying cause I have no idea, but maybe the leafs were too wet going in the jar?

if you're fermenting at home, 2 weeks will usually net you some mold growing at least. 24-48 hours out of direct sunlight is probably best. the conditions in your home will usually affect how long you're able to ferment things like this safely; if you live in a very warm/humid climate then you're liable to get quick growth. it may not be that you did anything wrong; other people may be fermenting in drier/colder environments, and many people are fine with mold growth in their tea leaves but don't disclose that when sharing their methods online. fermenting for a short period or making fresh tea should be just fine.

So I made "shampoo" from horse chestnuts/conkers after seeing some blog posts and videos about it here and there, and surprisingly it actually worked! I didn't think it would to be honest but my greasy hair was perfectly clean after washing it. But then I was thinking about how I don't actually know for sure if horse chestnuts are topically toxic too (as they're highly toxic internally) and I can't find anything about it in the few books I have. Obviously I'm not dead after 1 use kek but I'd like to know for sure they're not topically toxic before continueing to use them. Does anyone know where to find reliable info about that?

What is the actual toxin in conkers? Instead of looking up the toxicity of conkers, look up whether the toxin is absorbed through the skin.

I don't understand why /ot/ even exists. We're all women, everything we talk about is girl talk.

>/g/ is for all things girly, bathroom talk for advice, lifestyle, fashion, cosmetics, makeup, periodtalk. Anything you would ask and talk about with your female friends.
>/ot/ is for offtopic, discussions, debates and sperging

/g/ accounts for female social conditioning topics, primarily.

/ot/ is just any topic since women are also people with hobbies and interests when they finish putting on their makeup and fashionable clothes.

It's a bit bleak and semantically meaningless that they are divided based on this, but yes it reflects reality.

Samefag. I just picked and processed a fresh batch of young blackberry leaves soooo wish me luck. I hope this one works out.

Tell us how it goes! I know very little about fermented blackberry leaf tea, so is the result similar to a kombucha taste/fizziness?

No. 1937508

>>1937467
I've never tried kombucha, so I don't know what it tastes likes, it's been on my list to try at some point. Fermented blackberry leaf tea isn't supposed to fizz though. You ferment the leaves, dry them and make tea from the dried leaves like regular loose leaf tea so it's not that the drink itself is fermented like kombucha.

I realize this is an extremely niche topic and probably no one here has experience with it- but has anyone tried making fiber from plant material? I kind of want to try turning nettle into yarn.

I'm growing oyster mushrooms for the first time, I'm quite excited about it. Has anyone else here tried it before?

Nope but good luck with it.
I have a pet mushroom growing on my wall though because my house was badly built and they left wooden pannel on the walls so they get wet in wet seasons. It's a Volvariella and it's edible but my suspicion is the shower water runs under the house so i wont be eating them lol. The mushroom is very rare here.
