We didn’t set out to build a homestead—we just started fixing what broke, growing what fed us, and inventing what didn’t exist yet. From rabbit watering rigs slapped together with spare parts, to greenhouse wins that earned their place one shovel at a time, we’re turning scraps into systems and chores into chapters.

Making organic compost from hutch waste and cold-ready fertilizer from the forgotten corners of the greenhouse, we find DIY comfort where grit meets grace—that’s T-Bone’s Place. ~ Jax T
