I'm on SS but took on a part time job partly to help provide funds for these projects. I've been doing this for several years now and I expect it will take many more.

Much of what I learned is from hours and hours of research. Watching YouTube videos, reading articles and being a member of various groups on Facebook that specialize on topics I'm interested in .

I live in zone 4b.
