I live with my partner and in-laws on a few acres in the rural US. Right now we both have jobs and are saving as much as we can given the crazy way the world is at the moment.
I make less and am more of a junior professional so it’s likely I would be laid off first in a depression. Given this I’ve been thinking about non monetary ways to contribute.
One obvious one is gardening, which made me realize it might be a good idea to stock up on fertilizer if it went from a hobby to a necessity to grow food.
What other bulk things, or things in general might we stock up on that we would kick ourselves for not buying a lifetime supply of while we can?
Thanks a bunch!
In terms of fertilizer, maybe get chickens. You can feed them basically any table scraps, you get free eggs, and you can occasionally shovel out their shit for fertilizer
Just crush eggshells thoroughly before feeding it to them or they learn to pick holes in eggs. The shells are good for the new egg shells BTW.
Good thought if I can convince my FIl lol
