I was playing with my garden tractors today and decided to make a video of this Bolens. It was built in 1928 and still runs pretty good!

Why Buy A Hobby Farm
Buying a small farm is generally an emotive experience. Every purchaser has a unique set of reasons for taking such a step, however, general themes can be identified and several broad categories of hobby farmers can usually be observed in most regions.
For Investment Interest
Astute investors will often purchase a parcel of land close to the urban fringe with the expectation that the urban sprawl will inevitably produce handsome profits from subdivisions or redevelopment. Such farmers will often carry out a minimum of work and may graze some animals in order to keep the property tidy. It is unlikely that long-term activities such as re-vegetation will take place.
For Lifestyle Or Privacy
More commonly hobby farmers have a desire to live away from the prying eyes of neighbours, but be near enough to the city in order to commute to work. Some owners may have little interest in working the property as a place for agricultural production, and as a result, carry out a minimum of work maintaining the site.
A pleasant environment for the children is often cited as the reason for moving to a rural property. Others may combine the benefits of a rural lifestyle with the personal aim of land regeneration. The land may not be used for agricultural purposes, but there is a desire to see the site nurtured for the sake of fauna and flora. These are certainly noble ambitions.
For Retirement And Memories
I have met quite a few older migrants who want to relive past rural experiences, similar to their native homeland. Many such people migrated to the city, spending a lifetime working at menial tasks within a factory setting. An element of nostalgia is apparent, yet they take lavish pride in their farm and usually develop highly productive farms. Often these farmers choose to live in the city near their families and commute to the farm. Unfortunately, time is often against such people, and due to an inability to maintain the property with age, there is no choice but to sell.
For The Enterprising Spirit
There is also a brave and adventurous group of hobby farmers who want to try their hand at something new or novel. The range of enterprises is only limited by one's imagination and in general a few years are needed before the enterprise is deemed a success or failure. In the meantime the owner may work full time, operating the enterprise on weekends. The majority of such enterprises are doomed to failure, but this is often a learning experience leading to success in the future.
A very wide range of enterprises such as emu growing, native bush foods, snail production and garlic cultivation may be attempted. From hundreds of new projects, some will be a success, but the majority will be a learning experience at best and a financial disaster at worst. In many cases insufficient planning and research is carried out, or the owner soon comes to the conclusion that far too much work is involved for the potential returns.
For Passion And Challenges
In my case I have no great illusion or grand plan, but I look forward to the physical challenges involved in maintaining 5 acres with limited capital. I hope one day to look upon my farm with pride and to grow and share some of the fruits of this labour.

Common Gardening Injuries
Many Americans enjoy tending their gardens as a stress-relieving hobby. Gardening can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and some people take it very seriously. Even if you're not trying to have the greenest lawn in the neighborhood or the largest tomatoes, gardening can still become an involved hobby. Although gardening is relatively safe, gardening tools (in particular powered ones) can be dangerous, and common gardening chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides can be toxic.
People who garden professionally or as a serious hobby tend to own power tools to help them with their work. Tillers and trimmers can make it easier to do your planting and keep your plants in check. These same tools can also prove dangerous if manufacturing faults or unexpected circumstances lead to serious cuts or even electrocution. The same tools that can trim your hedges can cause serious damage if they come in contact with your body.
Ingestion of or heavy exposure to fertilizers and pesticides can cause serious illness and even death. The chemicals in fertilizers can be toxic and can even react violently with other chemicals. Many pesticides that are effective at killing insects can also cause damage to humans. Some pesticides can cause heavy damage to the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems depending on how you are exposed to them.
If you or someone you know inhales, ingests, or is otherwise exposed to fertilizers and pesticides, seek medical help immediately. Call 9-1-1 as soon as possible to learn what steps you can take before paramedics arrive. If there is no ambulance service in your area, drive the victim to the nearest emergency room.
By taking the right precautions, you can prevent gardening accidents. But no amount of safety preparation can make up for serious defects in gardening tools and supplies that lead to injury, illness, and death. If you or someone you love have been seriously affected by a gardening injury, the Philadelphia injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams can help you. Contact them today to discuss your case with an experienced lawyer.
