Two is one, and one is none, the way I see it.
An important principle. At least two, three or four is better, tools break! A hand plow is good to, as is a small wagon as well as a wheel barrel!
A wheelbarrow is also necessary for growing food. A lot of work requires moving bulky heavy materials from here to there, and a heavy duty steel yoked w/ non flat tire wheelbarrow is a valuable tool. Can even be used amongst several households, making it even more efficient.
Grape hoes, mattocks and shovels will become valuable for people raising their own food.
To our stable of wheelbarrows we have added a four wheeled gardening cart with inflatable tires and a purported capacity of 800 lbs. It also has a dump bed which adds to ease of utility. Much handier than managing a heavy laden wheelbarrow. For the cart and the wheelbarrows we buy that liquid flat repair and treat the tires preventatively every season to avoid flats. We also added a cart for our quad atv that can easily haul a small round bale. These have all proved exceptionally helpful on our little homestead.
The cart for the quad is two axle which helps with heavy loads and rolling in mud/sand.
the inflatable tires suck.
get the hard inflexible rubber ones.
Homestead like no one is watching. Train like you’ve never been hurt. Prep like there is no tomorrow. Put your fingers in dirt.
Unless you are very lucky, developing a good garden takes years. You can’t tell by looking, what will grow or what will be destroyed by pest. You are likely to need fertilizer, develop ways to deal with weeds and other pest.
Having a tractor may be essential in developing a good garden. Get a diesel, as fuel will last longer and a front end loader if possible. If you need road work you will need thirty to fifty horse, but for a garden twenty horse will do. Tractors are very repairable, my 1958 MF is very reliable, you can get something good for a few thousand. A three point hitch is a must, as are implements. While I have a newer 24 hp garden tractor, it pales to my 72 20hp Kubota.
It is important to start now, while mistakes aren’t fatal
