At some point you'll no doubt debate growing your own food. The good news is that you should be able to save a lot on food bills, even for a minimal plot. However, the bad news is that it requires a lot of work. If you have the time, great; otherwise forget about it.
If you are growing your own food, all of your organic waste can go into a compost pile. This helps fertilize your plants as well as eliminates waste.
For places with minimal free space, plastic tubs can be your best friend. Make sure that tubs can handle the root systems and you should be good to go.
Chickens and goats are your best bets as they require the least amount of space and maintenance. If you don't mind sacrificing your pool, you can raise fish in it instead.
If you have a pool and don't want to use it, learn hydroponics. This not only allows you to use the pool as a growing area but also allows you to raise your own fish, such as tilapia, underneath the plants. If you do so, you will need to find a way to feed the fish even as the fish feed the plants through their waste.
