Hello, my name is Robert (Roberto) and I live in Cochabamba, Bolivia (South America). For many years I have worked in one of the largest food processing companies in my country. I´m currently one of the CEO´s advisors, but it all ends this month!!! I quit my job and I´m going to work for a few months in a farm and in a year I plan to already have my own farm started. I will finaly get to live in the country side. Your videos have been a great inspiration, thank you. Good luck with your projects

[Rygel]

Wow, you go to Potsdam from Rochester? That's along ways! I'm in Malone and went to RIT!

[drice847]

[auburrn]

[cwaj]

Don't let the shit talker get you down! Keep up the good work. You are on the right path.

Stupid people.......Geeeeze.

[reaper69316]

who cares about worms, you suck

[ultrakool]

Film you bending over? I'm there!

[ultrakool]

How coincidental, my puppy got worms for her birthday too.

[pepeYjuana]

Ok, I'm really gonna have to get over my fear of worms, especialy earth worms. I'm probably gonna have to touch them when I start composting :(

[glukkan]

worms are so awesome!

They make really great quality compost.

Plus they don't hurt you and they really just want to be away from you and the light and back in the soil- eating!

I hope you get over your fear of them =)

[peace0ff]

cool

[techiescum]

Awesome stuff girl!

Happy Birthday!

Bob

[TheUrbanHomesteaders]

thanks uncle bob! love you!

[janetblueskies]

Happy Birthday...Let us know about the worms.

[TheUrbanHomesteaders]

i just posted a video about the worms. check it out when you get a chance!

[janetblueskies]

I think you are doing a great job. I currently live in Houston, but am hoping to move to Del Rio to start my own homestead within the next year. You are incouraging...I do want to start a few things here in Houston. Chickens, growing herbs, peppers, etc...

[TheUrbanHomesteaders]

awesome! i hope you'll let us know how all of that goes... better yet, make some videos for us to watch! :)

[zezt]

GREAT to hear about your peppers!

[Foxblossom]

Happy Birthday

[TheUrbanHomesteaders]

thanks!  its this coming sunday.

[PhillyGuy386]

you guys make me want to be more earthy! keep up the good work. you remind me of that show "good neighbors".

[dionysusstar]

Congrats on your peppers and gifted worms that are a comin. Wow, my comments are in a video from New York from UrbanHomesteaders....werid! I hope that ya'll can get a camera so you can document more that's going on. Maybe at the places that offer you compost you can post a flyer to your website so you can have local folks tune in. If I was local I'd help out... CO is a bit far! I have some cherry tomatoes that lived through snow. Love to see the pickling episode.

Ok, did you consider having animals, do you eat meat, eggs, and something like that? Do you want that I make video about that? It would be best that you have your animal products and in the same time you have compost from animals. Are you interested? Don't worry, your neigbours will not be mad.

[dionysusstar]

Some neighbors don't want farm animals next door and some neighborhoods have strict regulations against having farm animals. Animals not pastured also cost more in feed upkeep (hay,etc). Animals in small confines also have a higher rate of disease. A few chickens would be the best choice, but it depends on your area. Veggies will give you more food for the same area.

[8rf]

I know... But, i was thingking lets say: 3 chickens... maybe some kind of banties. Or rabbits. My uncle have rabbits and they mate so he have lots of them... he do not have to buy a meat at all. And, they only take small amount of space. Also they produce quality compost.

[dionysusstar]

Oh I completely agree as a meat eater that producing your own meat is much better than buying someone elses, even if it's organic and local. To be sustainable is a homesteaders goal. My point is that urban homesteaders have many obstacles to being completely self sufficient. Keeping meat animals is one of those difficulties due to land size and regulations. In winter they'll also have to provide heating for animals. It is definetly something they should look into though.

[8rf]

I know... I am on the same path... I have just collected money for the land. So, I will start my revolution soon. But, it will not be urban... Sheeps, chickens, fruit plants, vegetables... I will go for everything. But, rabbits are hardy, they do not need so much space, feeding is easy and you will have lots of them because they breed fast.

[marheinzel]

i wish i could help out but a little far away : ) but i can't wait to work more on mine once i get home from school this summer thanks for all the great ideas!
