Thanks GA
I have never heard of Signals in our area of Cornwall but that does not mean they are not there.

I will do some digging. It might even be a good idea to do as the chap did in the article and go fishing with some bacon.

I would love to find out if there are these critters down here in Cornwall. I would be quite happy to do my bit to reduce the population.

Is there a list of waterways that do have them

Yes, good call. I did watch those over and over again.

Are any of those schemes 'Off Grid' or are they all 'Grid Tied'?

How to live off grid by Nick Rosen is not a bad book but the title is a bit misleading.

I will talk to the library next time I am in there.

Cob is a fantastic material and I love the look and feel of cob but it is just too labour intensive for me. I would probably go for straw bail and if you have enough land to go down the field to farm route you could allow a local farmer to use one of your fields for growing wheat in return for the b...

I normally sow onions in mid August for overwintering but life took over this year and I have only just got them in now. It is pretty mild down here in Cornwall with few frosts plus now we have the dome I have a lot more under cover area for them. Last year I sowed them in modules 3 or 4 to a cell a...

Hi All Just wondering what other people are sowing now for winter produce or over wintering for an early crop next year. I have just sown about 700 onions. Mostly Sturon but a few Paris earlies, Australian yellowleaf lettuce, Red Ursa Russian kale and some Wizard field beans. I am a bit later than u...

I'm not sure I can call it a bedroom window as we only really have one room but this is from the window at the head of my bed
