  • Can confirm, when I was a kid my parents wanted to build their dream house and bought 5 acres. Mom decided she wanted a ‘garden’, which wound up being a 40’x100’ mini-farm, and the only machine we had was a tiller, all the rest was hard-as-shit manual labor (‘Hey, good thing we had lots of kids!’ was a common refrain from my mom). Kneeling or crawling around on your knees, often with rocks in the soil, bending over, digging around or pulling weeds at arm’s reach, lots of standing up and kneeling down again, carrying a lot of heavy shit, dealing with bugs, thorns, nettles, and every other goddamned thing, etc. Extremely do not recommend, and that was only 0.03ha.
