🎧 Episode 146 – How Much Land Do You Need?
Podcast: Ditch the Store with CJ from Mojo Homestead🌱 www.mojohomestead.net
Ever been told you need a farm to start homesteading? In this episode, CJ sets the record straight. Whether you're in a unit, on a suburban block, or out on five acres — you can absolutely start homesteading right where you are.
From window-sill herbs and homemade laundry powder to backyard chooks and full-scale food forests — this week is a deep dive into what you can do with the land you have, plus what to think about if you're eyeing off a bigger block.
🔍 What you’ll learn:
Homesteading with no land at all (yes, really)
How much you can actually do on an 800m² block
The realities of rural living (off-grid power, septic tanks, snakes and all)
What livestock fits where — goats, chickens, cows and more
Why bigger land = bigger responsibilities (and how to prep for that)
What I started with... and how I built up from there
If you’ve been waiting for “more space” to start homesteading, this is your sign. You already have enough to begin.
