Hello everyone,
I know this not about self sufficiency, but I could use this forum's and Mark's (if he reads this ) opinion on something. I feel like you guys can share a good thought.
I moved from an apartment to a house (that my grandfather has built) with an almost 1 acre yard some 5-6 months ago. About a month and a half ago I stumbled upon Mark's youtube channel and I gotta say I have been hooked ever since. I never thought I would be interested in gardening, but Mark, along with some other channels ignited a spark in me towards me being more self sufficient.
I live in North Macedonia, which is a country in southeast Europe. We are basically a third world country. We don't have a lot of "innovative" things here, and for people that want to start gardening the options for soil, fertilizers, compost are very limited. Also everyone here have no idea what raised-bed gardening even is. Thankfully I am able to inform myself from lovely people form the internet.
That being said, I found myself looking constantly for a woodchipper here. After watching Mark give a good example of what you can do with cut down trees ( and I had to cut literally tons of trees since the place has been deserted for 15 years) I wanted to hire a woodchipper and make piles of woodchip so I can use for mulching and hopefully after some time for the piles to turn into humus (had to google it... I almost wrote hummus). But as I said, I live in basically what is a third world country and as it turned out there were no woodchippers here to hire (go figure).
My question is:
Is it a good idea to open a woodchipping company since there is not one here ? What do you guys/gals from this forum think? If you are coming from a place where woodchippers are common, what is your opinion on a business like that?
Because if it something that is feasible, I see it as a win-win situation. Not only I would take care of my own wood chipping, but I can also provide the service for those like me that need it.
Any advice/opinion would mean a lot to me. I would like to thank you all in advance and apologize if this is not the place for a question like this.
Also my English might be a little off, so I apologize for that as well.
