Howdy hope your day is great. As a goal in life. I got a 50 acre ranch off grid. All By myself. I built my cabin. Supply my own solar and wind energy. Wow a what a feeling i get from doing as much as i can to hold my own without expecting everyone to do work for me.

Thats awesome, ide love to live that way. Do you grow your own food as well?

@Aus3nb: my neighbor is a great gardener and has chickens galore.we trade . I do grow some food.have chickens also.

@Averageboy:good neighbors are always nice. But i was gonna say, though im mostly self taught im an avid gardener/ botanist so if you ever have any questions feel free to ask :) hope you having a swell day though ^.^

@Averageboy:and just curious, but out of solar and wind power which do you find to be the most efficient? Or would it just depend where you live?

@Aus3nb: saw your profile. Your way you are. Is great. Thanks that you offer garden answers. I love gardening. I am not great gardener and can use points of yours. Thanks so much. Great days should be yours

@Aus3nb: solar is best. I use wind to polish off charge to batteries at night to keep them up. Solar does most all the time. With my monocrystaline panels. They charge great even in cloudy days.

@Averageboy:its my pleasure, always willing to help. Ahh, thats a smart way of doing it, ive often wonder how well solar power holds up through the night/bad weather. Did you install it yourself?
