Welcome to Sow&Grow! I’m excited to share my plan to grow avocado trees and raise animals sustainably. Whether you’re starting your own homestead or just curious about small-scale farming, this guide will give you a simple, actionable framework to get started.
Avocado Tree Plantation Plan
Growing avocado trees can be incredibly rewarding, providing delicious fruit and helping the environment. Here’s my plan to cultivate healthy, thriving avocado trees:
| Task | Details / Timeline | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Selecting avocado variety | Hass and Fuerte | Choosing varieties suited to our climate |
| Soil preparation | Early spring | Test soil pH and enrich with compost |
| Planting method | Saplings spaced 15 feet apart | Ensure good drainage and sunlight |
| Watering schedule | Twice a week in dry season | Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot |
| Fertilizing | Organic fertilizer every 3 months | Use compost tea or natural amendments |
| Pest management | Monitor for pests like mites and borers | Use neem oil and companion planting |
| Harvest time | Approximately 3-4 years after planting | Harvest when fruit feels slightly soft |
Animal Raising Plan
Raising animals complements planting by providing natural fertilizer, pest control, and a sustainable source of food. Here’s a general outline for my animal care plan:
| Animal Type | Care Requirements | Timeline / Milestones | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chickens | Daily feeding, clean coop weekly | Collect eggs daily, maturity at 6 months | Consider free-range for health and pest control |
| Goats | Provide shelter, daily feeding | Milking starts at 1 year, breeding cycles planned | Use natural grazing areas |

Starting a homestead is a journey of patience, learning, and connection to nature. This plan is a starting point feel free to adapt it to your own environment and goals. As Sow&Grow grows, I’ll be sharing updates, tips, and lessons learned along the way.
Stay tuned, and happy growing!
