Went grocery shopping yesterday, produce is 50 to 75% more expensive than this time last year. They are also pricing many vegetables per each price instead of per pound.

I know.  California is not allowed to farm and Mexico had a weather-wipeout.  *sigh*  And JF's wondering why I'd love a two acre "garden".  ;)

What the hell do I know, how big?  Big ENOUGH!  And if I had two acres to plant, I'd know.  Right now, I don't need to know.  Ass pain.   ::slapfight::

Seriously, how big you think?  Big enough to stick a grader on it, too, I'd assume.

  Plus attachments. With the three point hitch you could probably buy a lot of used attachments if you wanted to. This is just an example.

That looks about right, but I'd be damned if I'd pay 8 grand + for new, when I see 'em sitting out around these parts for a lot less.

Saw a similar one for around 4. Don't remember where.

It's very similar to a real disc. If it works it would be cheaper than a tiller which appears to be expensive to maintain.

 It's just an example. But that's big enough for a couple of acres and then some. Big enough to run a lot of attachments too.Has a nice power take off to run a lot of things even log splitter or a generator post hole digger and so on.

The discs are nice but it's not the end because you now have to grade and make the beds. The tiller is att in one shot.

  Pay a local to low it up for the first time and then use the tiller from then on.

*sigh*  Tools and equipment make mah heart go pitter-pat.

I am a weird sort of female person, nu?

With all the talk of how little the dollar will be worth shortly, I'm plotzing about a place to put some of ours.  Land seems right; I just am unsure of where, but land nearby for growing would be a priority requirement.

  You have enough to grow veggies on to the point that I know you can't possibly eat them all. If you want more land look for grazing land. Live stock,beef pork chickens you can do by you and rabbits for that matter can all happen on two acres and they can be used in the garden too.

 I'm not big on the beef stuff cause it takes too much room but small stuff I like even meat goats would work on brushy land if anything they clean out the brush for you and when they get ready to roast bring them in and fatten them up on grain and all the garden waste.
