Homesteading Basics: Top Must-Haves to Get Started

We have all been told at least once to “stop and smell the roses.” While that phrase mainly serves as a metaphor that alludes to enjoying the smaller things in life, it could also be taken quite literally. Why not stop and smell the roses? Especially if you’re the one planting them? If you’re interested in homesteading, you’re in luck! The green thumb season is upon us. You may be wondering if homesteading is a viable option for you, depending on the location of your home. The good news is BCP has made homesteading all-around home friendly. City dwellers and countryside natives alike; there are homesteading musts appropriate for all homes. Check out the hottest in homesteading.

An Ergonomic Way To Homesteading

If you’re undecided about space or in between residences, we understand. That's why we designed the Rectangular Wood Garden Bed Planter Stand to fit your space. This bed is designed with lots of room, so your plants can grow at their full potential. Crafted with Cedarwood, this planter stand will last throughout the seasons, and ideally fits the patio, porch, deck, or balcony. And, as an answer to your reviews, assembly is as easy as it gets! You won’t need any tools to build this stand, so assembly and disassembly will be hassle-free should the time for moving come! This garden stand is also ideal for ergonomic motion, so minimal bending is required when tending to your plants.

For Large Homes

 A Spacious Greenhouse For Beginners

A beautiful garden must be protected on a regular basis, and if you have space to use – the Walk-In Tunnel Green House Tent will be the ultimate protection. The durable plastic will comfortably house your plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables from any outside disturbances. Roll-up windows also let you control the amount of sunlight and air that comes in, while a zippered door will let you easily access your greens whenever they need tending. This greenhouse is crafted to withstand any weather conditions, with heavy-duty plastic mesh and durable powder-coated steel tube frames. Make this a staple in your homesteading with guy ropes and stakes.

For Smaller Homes and Apartments

Every serious hobby needs a workstation, especially if your hobby is gardening. Bending over to pot, soil, and plant may be strenuous for your back. Enter Wooden Potting Bench; a 49” high, metal-plated countertop space. We designed it for both seasoned and new gardeners to help you do what you do best without hurting your back. For added convenience, BCP added lots of storage space to this design, including two-tier shelves, a storage cabinet with a sliding deadbolt, a large bottom shelf for soil, a sliding drawer for extra accessories, and side hooks for your tools.
