I have not practiced crop rotation. Good idea. I have thought about getting big tubs from my brother who raises beef. They are perfect size for tomatoes. I have a small lot in the suburbs bit getting out of there soon
Need me some room for large garden and try to improve position in feeding myself. Wouldn’t mind having a head or two of beef

Beef is good. My sister used to raise rabbits-she had 5 kids and low income. Didn’t take much space.

We don’t have much space, so if we were going to have animal protein, we’d likely have chickens-for eggs and meat-maybe a goat for milk.

You can buy the chicks in the spring and slaughter in the fall. Freeze or can. We don’t really have the space for a cow or a steer. Don’t think I could deal with killing rabbits, too much like a pet.

One of the restaurants we went to when I was a kid, had fried rabbit-tasted a bit like chicken.
