10 Space-Saving Products for Homesteading

Homesteading in the wide-open country with acres of land can look very different from homesteading in the city. But the beautiful thing about living a simpler life is you can start your journey anywhere. You just have to know how to best utilize the space you have.

And that, our friends, is where some strategic planning is needed.

We rounded up some of our favorite space-saving products, from compact products to tools that serve more than one purpose, so you can maximize the space of your homestead.

1. Vigoroot Balcony Garden

Vigoroot Balcony Garden
Available at Lehmans.com or in Lehman’s retail store in Kidron, OH.

Perhaps you don’t have a large amount of land to grow your harvest. (Or maybe, you’re just trying to use every inch of the space you have.) This vertical garden has shelves of planters, so you use minimal ground space and can grow veggies right on your balcony or patio!

2. Lehman’s Hori Hori Garden Knife

Lehman's Hori Hori Garden Knife

Sometimes saving space means investing in tools that serve more than one purpose. Our garden knife does just that! It’s the hand tool that measures depth for planting, cuts down weeds, digs, even cuts twine. And may we say…it does all of its jobs very well!

3. Lehman’s Breathing Mobile Washer

If you’re living off grid, then you need to be able to wash your clothes without electricity. Our breathing washer is easy to use and store, thanks to its collapsible design. (Psst…this is also a great tool to have on hand in case of a power outage!) 

4. Space-Saving Accordion Wall Clothes Dryer

7. Rayo Lantern Cooker
