Hi, my name is Rick but, as it was taken, my screen name is Wallerville.
I live on a rural dirt road in Pennsylvania and have on my property a pond, 1000’ of stream frontage, a summer garden and a heated greenhouse. I am also heavily into hydroponics and have been for over 30 years. We never have to buy greens as we grow them year round. Technically my wife and I are not homesteaders but we enjoy being self sufficient and would like to think that if it came to it we could live a sustainable lifestyle without much outside help. Two years back, just before Covid, my wife and I became certified Master Gardeners in Pennsylvania.
I am a science guy, having semi retired from consulting. I enjoy a good conversation and will not shy away from difficult topics as long as it can remain respectful and productive.
Now I have to scan through all of the potential topics available and decide where to start.
Thanks for having me.
Rick
