▲ 352 ▼ A cool guide Homestead on One-Tenth of an Acre (i.redd.it) submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de to c/solarpunk@slrpnk.net 97 comments fedilink hide all child comments Edit: This is not intended as "how to grow all your food you ever need at home". It merely provides the vegetables. You still have to get your grains (and therefore the majority of your calories) from somewhere else. geteilt von: https://lemmy.ca/post/22193783 Author: /u/well-made_innocence Link Shared on Reddit Original Reddit Comments

So, a tiny bit more than 0.1 acres, but not quite 0.11. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago (5 children) An acre is 43560 and a tenth of that is 4356. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (4 children) Sigh, imperial measurements. I forgot it was 208x208', I had calculated it at 200x200'. Seriously, imperial measurements are just awful. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 point 2 years ago At least they teach Americans how to do proper conversions. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pbbananaman@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (2 children) If you don’t fight it and accept that imperial is designed with base 12 and not base 10, everything makes more sense. Measurements across all of imperial are to be cut into 12, 6, 4, 3, or 2. Sometime base 12 works really nicely, especially outside of a lab, when you want to be able to have as many options for division easily as possible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Decimals work for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] pbbananaman@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I get that people like to be stubborn about this but there are very real and intuitive reasons that decimals don’t make sense everywhere. Consider how intuitive telling time using “kiloseconds” and decimals might be. The right tool needs to be used for the right job. I am a scientist. In the lab, metric is fantastic as it allows for precision recording and I don’t care about intuition. It’s not a point of pride to use one system over another. For example, in America we use both systems in the right contexts. I am happily able to fluidly switch between what’s most appropriate for the situation. I get that context/code switching is generally difficult but I think it’s an overall value add. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago Two room and a bathrood house, and shed.Nor garage, or drive way. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Fluke@discuss.online 4 points 2 years ago Eyeballing looks like the house couldn't be more than 18x30 feet, or ~540 sq ft. Probably less in reality. Tiny home territory. Smaller than most single wide trailer homes. The doors as drawn must be for hobbits. Fun picture just the same. I love the urban homestead explosion and hope it never stops. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de [S] -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It appears big because it's well used. Also, the house is small-sized.
