Sounds interesting, and ...Never heard of it before. Sounds interesting, and very prudent especially if you have little space to use.<br /><br />I have a few friends who've had a lot of success with lasagna gardening. We have so many trees where we live that we'd have to cut 4-5 down to get a good ample space for sunlight, and our soil isn't the greatest. And cutting them down would mean Dad would be the man....but he's so busy I feel bad bothering him so I don't know if it will ever happen. :-) If we ever get to that point, I will definately look up the square foot method. Hope you have a bunch of yummy veggies! I'm jealous! I'd just love to be digging in the dirt every day and learning to be self-sufficient.Kendlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746800248363770082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104572904545340104.post-10887365115797671822011-03-20T14:00:03.894-05:002011-03-20T14:00:03.894-05:00Very encouraging, Kendle!!!!

I am reading the boook and going to try it this year. I know Thne Millsaps have done it for the past two years and really like it!!!! :) I think you would really enjoy it! Have you ever read about that method?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283442578650246056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104572904545340104.post-19699317355041357982011-03-19T17:24:10.372-05:002011-03-19T17:24:10.372-05:00Yes, Megan, I agree.

And yet when we get rid of it, we have SO much time to serve others, pray, read Scripture and be productive in self-sufficient ways. Who doesn't feel proud of something they made themselves? <br />I was at a friend's house recently and was so impressed by how simply they live. Everything has a place, few toys for the little ones, and such a Christ-honoring sweet aroma to the house. I want that!Kendlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746800248363770082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104572904545340104.post-31415120130713567032011-03-19T17:16:28.540-05:002011-03-19T17:16:28.540-05:00Thanks!

Will definately help me in the future. <br />I'd LOVE to learn to sew, but it's farther down on the list right now. Budgeting, meal planning, gardening, and poultry raising are some things I hope to conquer. Mom has taught Allison & I in the kitchen since we were little, so that doesn't scare me too much. <br />Mom finally showed me how to iron a couple months ago; it's so easy and I want to learn more skills so much!<br />Yes. I want to know Him so much and whatever He has planned for me I know is the best and will be for His glory.Kendlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746800248363770082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104572904545340104.post-75839336339835107092011-03-19T17:10:54.075-05:002011-03-19T17:10:54.075-05:00Great goals, Kendle.

A good marriage does encourage those things, but it's still easier if you come into the marriage already doing them.<br /><br />I love #2. I really like the minimalist/simplistic lifestyle. I think most American's have an unhealthy view of what they "need". We're so materialistic! David and I have far fewer "things" than the average couple, but still have stuff we need to sort through and do away with.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559448743103933371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104572904545340104.post-15891035152789832732011-03-19T16:49:24.737-05:002011-03-19T16:49:24.737-05:00how exciting!

Not that I don't wish I had started earlier! <br />I had never planned a menu, made more than ramen noodles or taco salad (and pico de gallo- that was my biggest accomplishment). I had sewn tiny pillow for fun growing up and my types of exercise was so selective. In the last five and half years I have learned how to sew, cook about 50 meals or more, create my own recipes, plan a menu and grocery list for 2-3 weeks at a time, garden, and broaden my exercise horizon. I liberated and exhilarated- this is only the begining! If I had focused in on these things before marriage...wow, I can only imagine!<br />So I applaud you and wish you the best! <br />If we live for Jesus with all we have now then it doesn't matter what he has planned for us!!biblechikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870251030585003224noreply@blogger.com
