How I Built a Sustainable Suburban Homestead in 3 Years

What to study

Desired Outcome

The before is a bare yard of wood chips on an ordinary street, which could be yours. The after is the same fence buried in flowers and raised beds. 'Suburban' says you don't need a farm, and 3 Years makes it feel reachable.

How the packaging works
Title

'Suburban' tells people on normal house plots that homesteading isn't only for those with acres, and '3 Years' sets an honest timeline rather than a quick fix.

Thumbnail

Kevin stands behind the fence in the same jacket and pose in both halves, so it reads as one spot, and the fence has darkened from yellow wood to brown.

Remix this

When your result took a long time, shoot the after from the same spot, with you in the same pose as the before. Let the title give the real timeframe and name the ordinary setting it happened in.
