| Post subject: | New BYAP novice in South Carolina, USA!! |
Hello from South Carolina, USA! Just getting started in AP and have not yet built a system. We have a 5 acre wooded lot on a ridge-top with very little cleared, level ground for crops. I am wanting to build my system to produce year-round and plan to setup a 14' X 36' high tunnel hoop house in the limited space we have. My system plan thus far is to have four IBC fish tanks with their tops removed and set over the fish tanks as grow beds like on the Backyard AP videos. I will also be incorporating Travis Hughey's barrel-ponics-style growbeds and support stands. I'm sure I'll have questions as I go along and I look forward to sharing my results and learning here. I have to say that it is great to have such a robust community to support this technology and share information and experience. This is exactly what the world needs. Yes, we all have to earn a living, but there's no need to tax the sunshine! (which they DO in my county by requiring solar collector permits!) Glad to have found BYAP! |

Welcome. Does anyone have to know that you have a solar array. If it is not hooked to the grid, how would they know? |

Welcome Mr Pisky. Solar Collector Permits. Next they will be taxing you for the oxygen you use. Is it a one off cost or a regular payment? |

Hey, thanks for the welcome! The county updates their GIS survey photos every year with new satellite photography for the tax maps. They can see anything you have on their property and determine which tax year it was installed. All it takes is one nosy neighbor to make a complaint or inquiry to the county admin office and they could send an agent out to your house. Not very likely, but possible nonetheless. The solar collector permit fee is a one time charge, but as U.N. Agenda 21 implementation moves forward with little resistance from the public, it could become a repeating tax/fee. |

No such fees here in Oz. Up until recently there have been hefty bonuses to put the things up. I'm guessing here that the local county may blame the UN for any repeating tax/fee but take all the money for its self. It is always easiest to blame somebody else when you are looking to raise revenue. |

Nah, it's just the effects of decades of socialist infiltration into our local government. They've been busy pushing UN Agenda 21 alignment while the general populace has been busy trying to make ends meet. |

If you happened o be a Mongol, life under ghengis Kahn was very good. He did a very good job of keeping civilian life good, and rather separate from military life. Ans if you happened to be in his military, life was good because you were usually on the winning side. Westerners only have a low view of him because he *almost* destroyed western civilization. The only reason he didn't was because Afghanistan was being rather difficult... |
