what systems do you have on "autopilot"?
example: auto watering system for the bunnies. or auto feeder for the chickens.
What systems have you put in place to help you on a daily basis?

Same here. In fact, the wife takes care of all the animals, including me. And all food production. The homestead is her full time job, I work to pay the bills and on the weekends do the never-ending construction/mending/repair/replace projects.
The only thing we have on auto pilot is lawn mowing & fertilizing. The horses take care of that simultaneously.:D

Autopilot

Put the grow lights on a timer.
First time this year trying grow light seed starting.
Using a few of those cheap plastic seed starting mini "greenhouses" and really like that the flat is sitting on a cloth wicking material above a water reservoir. As long as the reservoir does not run dry, it will self water.
