Hey grownostriches, I’m wondering what is the under $1k tangible item that has given you the greatest Return on Investment?

Could be personally or in your business, but I’m thinking mostly from a homestead perspective.

For me it’s gotta be the lil 5x10 utility trailer.

That thing has probably made or saved me over $60k in 6 years of owning it..

Whether it’s getting free/cheap building materials, bulky furniture/appliances that don’t easily fit in the truck, bulk soil/compost, whole logs for milling, etc. And that doesn’t even include the value derived from it in my edible landscaping business.

Curious what yours are?

I'd probably say my little trailer too, but it cost more than $1k AU.

My greenhouse was sub $500 AU, that has kept us fed well, even in winter. I'm growing tropical plants, ginger, Malabar Spinach etc in temperate Australia 🇦🇺.

Electric tools. I have ryobi it just makes it easy to do work anywhere.

I first thing that comes to mind is our good quality XL 2-wheel wheelbarrow.

Chicken plucker
