Welcome to the Houston Heights Homesteader

Jumping on the band-wagon of Inspired by the intersection of recent mainstream interest in home gardening, frugality, and enviromental conservation, I’ve recently started gardening again, am seeking to reduce my dependence on the mainstream economy, and am hoping to reduce my environmental impact.  In short, I joyfully embrace the concept of modern urban homesteading.

As much as I beleive that concentious individuals have a responsibility to reduce their impact, I like the challenge of getting more for less and the simple satisfaction that comes from DIY.

I haven’t found a ton of online resources for the particular challenges of homesteading in urban Houston.  I’m hoping this site will be a forum for similarly minded people to share ideas and experiences so we can create that kind of resource.

Thanks for reading and contributing!
